A wonderful, dark, animated Hollywood satire of a town populated by anthropomorphic animals and humans, Bojack Horseman is a washed-up actor from a popular ‘90s sitcom now trying to make a comeback. As a horse, he’s landed the lead role in a biopic of Secretariat—playing Secretariat. His director’s daughter (named Irving) has run off for the day; she reveals her ambitions to Bojack’s friend. In a later scene, the director (voiced by Maria Bamford) gives one of the all-time great Vassar punchlines. Four seasons later, we have a quick callback.
