Fishing with John is Exactly What It Says on the Tin: a six-part Bravo / IFC serial of five famous celebrities going fishing with John Lurie in different parts of the world.These guests include Jim Jarmusch in Montauk, Tom Waits in Jamaica, Matt Dillon in Costa Rica, Willem Dafoe in Maine, and Dennis Hopper in Thailand. Nobody on the show knows how to fish: the humor of the show comes from the conversation, and the seemingly supernatural events (courtesy of reverse video playback, Manipulative Editing and an Unreliable Narrator).One of the few non-movies in The Criterion Collection. | |

Ominous Latin Chanting | |
| Fishing with John / int_1fdaf8ff | comment |
Ominous Latin Chanting: Some of the music in the Matt Dillon episode - particularly the song Matt and John have to dance to to appease the river spirits - have this kind of sound, despite being in English. | |

No Ending | |
| Fishing with John / int_ea2e9f2d | comment |
No Ending: In the last episode, John and Dennis just kind of give up on looking for the squid, the narrator monologues a bit about the beauty of the sea, and the show just kind of ends. | |
