Another This Week in Web Videos installment and another go90/JASH collabo that awes. Yes. Men Donât Whisper is that good.
As with Tond before it, Men Donât Whisper is helmed by two visionary creators. This time Jordan Firstman and Charles Rogers step up to the plate, and the result is layered, cringeworthy comedy thatâs as well written as it is deftly delivered by a cast that feels labored over, curated in the best way (Claire McNulty and Bridey Elliott kill).
In a space where no other digital comedy producer or network is greenlighting 22-minute films with such aplomb, JASH and go90 mayâve found their competitive edge in a unique and refreshingly risky storytelling partnership.
Is Men Donât Whisper the best short of 2017? Probably too early to tell, but no matter what the rest of the year brings, itâll damn sure end up near the top of the list.
