User Reviews

Created by Adam Barta who also appears as one of its stars, #TheDish is a short comedy feature that stars Debbie Gibson, Daya Betty, Adam Barta, June Shannon and others.

The plot goes as follows. "Mama June" Shannon journeys to the Treasure Coast to help wannabe TV star, Adam Barta, seize the opportunity of a lifetime. However, standing in the way of this plan are two vengeful frenemies: Tan Mom and Cynthia Beaumont, a rich widow. As lines are drawn and characters collide, who will come out on top is anyone's guess.

The best thing about #TheDish is its characters and its comedy. The makers have really created the most outlandish caricatures and then employed them in the most ridiculous manner possible. The end result is a product that is, for the lack of a better word, insanely funny and entertaining as the makers pull out all the stops to create a story that hits all the right notes.

Funny, satirical and above all self-aware, #TheDish is television at its best. From quirky hijinks to crazy characters, this television show has it all. Adam Barta and his team have made a show that hits all the right notes whilst making sure that the audience is not bored for a single moment of it all. #TheDish is therefore a winner that succeeds in more ways than one.

We give the feature a rating of four out of five.

This was a lot of fun. Hats off to Adam Barta and his team. The Dish plays as a mockumentary of a production team trying to get their reality TV show off the ground. The pacing is perfect. The graphics and score is spot on and certainly helps the production value. Tan Mom and Mama June add a great punch to the overall absurd comedic tone that is both fun and clever. You get the feel at the end that you want to see more, that there is still so much left that it unsettled. As an extended teaser or a pilot, it delivers by establishing these wacky characters and a glimpse into the hilarity of the story lines. Definitely worth checking out!
