Springleaf

Cute premise
Jul 23
This is a cute premise but it’s not as good as Acaster’s original standup but as Springleaf. The casting seems like he called in favors from friends, but some of the voice acting seems stilted. Other regulars are a little mush-mouthed and wouldn’t have made it past professional casting. The studio guest thing is over the top and distracting. TL;DR: this would be better with professional producers forcing edits, not as a passion project.
Another Masterpiece

Why is everything James Acaster works on so brilliant? Why must he be so charming and funny? You have officially ruined all other men for me, Acaster. I will one day die old and alone, probably with the name “Springleaf” carved into my childhood sled.
