Incredibly dry humor for most of it but the bizarre non sequiturs of the narrator made me chuckle a few times. Good read: http://www.newyorker.com/reporting/2010/08/16/100816fa_fact_friend?currentPage=all

The Dillon episode is a dud, but the rest is amazing, especially ice-fishing with Willem Defoe. It's a shame what's happened to Lurie since.

I guess I'll chalk this one up to "I don't get it." Watched the Jim Jarmusch and Tom Waits episodes and was bored out of my gourd.
