I’ve been listening to a lot of Chapo Trap House the past few months – and while to this day I have no idea what a ‘Chapo Trap House’ is beyond the name of their troupe, I find their commentary oftentimes really insightful and entertaining. Listening to them reminds me of what’s it like to hang out with really clever people: You may not understand everything they say or all their references, but the more you listen to them, the smarter you become.
Recently, Felix posted a review of Eternals, and while it’s full of the intentional pomposity and braggadocio typical of Chapo Trap House, it raises some really interesting points.
