:DRYVRS, Ep. 1

Actor/Producer Jack Dishel has posted the first episode of his webseries :DRYVRS on YouTube.  The premise of the series (I’ve only seen the one) appears to be the humorous encounters Mr. Dishel has with the people working for :DRYVRS, a UBER-like service he uses to transport himself from location to location.

Cleverly, the first episode features Macaulay Culkin as the :DRYVR come to pick him up.  Mr. Culkin’s character, we quickly find, is a grown up and whacked out version of his Kevin McCallister from the Home Alone films…

As humorous as the premise was, is it just me or did the whole thing ultimately feel rather…I dunno…depressing?  Don’t get me wrong: The adult Kevin having some serious issues regarding what happened to him when he was a child and growing up to be a seriously deranged individual makes a certain sense, but still…

Regardless, kudos to Mr. Dishel.  He couldn’t have found a more intriguing guest for his his premiere webisode.  That alone guarantees many people -obviously including myself- got to see his work.

Perhaps we can see more of this Kevin in the future?
