Will Arnett dives into the archives of pop culture revisiting trends, inventions and events that haven't aged very well. Surprise celebrities crop up in this exploration of Canada's best and brightest ideas from the recent past.
Will Arnett walks us through clips of pop-culture disasters from decades past, like Canada's horrifying SkyDome opening celebration in 1989 and the movie Gymkata, and, if you haven't guessed already, this is definitely my favorite show on Quibi.
A Quibi-approved length of 10 minutes (or less) is actually the perfect length to go back in time and recall strange phenomena from the '80s and '90s that don't deserve to be remembered.
Unfortunately, Memory Hole creates the same surreal effect as late-night hosts doing their shows from home during the COVID-19 pandemic. Before its next batch of Quick Bites, this hole could use a thorough cleaning.
Unfortunately, the show's excavation of "the most cringeworthy events in pop culture" doesn't dig very deep, and Arnett's lame-duck one-liners are delivered with minimal gusto.
They're not all winners, but I can't shortchange a quibi that has the smarts to devote a few minutes to 1985's action masterpiece Gymkata. Having Patton Oswalt deliver the pitch seals the deal.
The show is aided greatly by the talents of host Will Arnett, whose snarky delivery is ideal when diving into the strange clips and odd trends explored in each episode.
