Review: Dream Corp LLC “Comin’ In Hot”

Overview (Spoilers Below)

What’s coming in hot is a big ol’ check for Dr. Roberts that he says will fundamentally change the way he runs Dream Corp LLC. Unfortunately, the results are mixed. When visited by Patient 31 for what appears to be a fixation on pyromania, the staff ends up forgetting the subject when she goes under, and instead goes nuts looking for the now missing check. While the Patient gets her cure, Dr. Roberts realizes that money and greed aren’t the most important things in life, and that he probably should start thinking about returning all of the expensive merchandise he’s purchased.

Our Take

I think I prefer Dream Corp LLC has a 30-minute series rather than the upcoming quarter-hour variety that are on the way. It allows the producers to really dig deeper into a story and somewhat account for each of the cast members whereas sometimes the quarter-hours can get a bit rushed. Daniel Stessen is slowly but surely turning into a bit of a sci-fi/horror aficionado, with the premiere episode of Dream Crop LLC showing clear directorial inspirations to high-end sci-fi horror fare from the likes of Ridley Scott and Tarsem Singh.

The entire crew is back and well-accounted for with everyone taking a turn in slapping me with one-liners like I’m on a merry-go-round. Sunita Mani debuts strong as “Margot Daly”, but it’s Nick Rutherford’s child-like sensibilities for “Patient 88” that I keep coming back for because it plays awesome against the more off-the-wall antics of Jon Gries’ “Dr. Roberts”, very similarly to Morty and Rick Sanchez.

The rest of the gang is here and are just as nuts. “Randy” (Mark Proksch) buying, and then returning, a bunch of expensive merchandise was great, and Ahmed’s intro further cements him in that category of funny men along side Eric Andre and such and should be considered for more of those type roles in the future. It’s an interesting take because I don’t know how many more seasons we’re going to get here, but I hope it’s a bunch which longer run times because the hybrid presentation is unlike anything else on cable television and should be cherished. The laughs are all here, and now, here we go again.
