Rekha Shankar’s Life Mission? Laugh, Have Dumb Ideas.
“Go ahead and maybe do it wrong. It’s better than never trying it at all.”
I love how it always feels like he’s being himself, and he continues to reinvent the world of sketch, characters, and comedy by just experimenting and not caring if it’s “too weird.” I think sometimes mainstream audiences are too quick to pass over comics like that and then they never get a chance to cook and try more and eventually find their niche, and I am so grateful he has gotten to do all of that. How much money do you put into a thing that someone could write a scathing post of on their off-brand Substack even though they watched it entirely on the toilet and it downloaded a virus onto your computer just to read the review? Because there’s a world where if you do that and the movie is middling or tanks, you become a cautionary tale of someone who was stubborn and didn’t listen and blew all their money on a “bad idea.” This industry loves to make a narrative out of someone’s career after the result has occurred, but in reality, we can’t predict literally anything.
