The Austin Chronicle was in attendance when the pilot episode of \u201cBaron And Toluca\u201d premiered at the ATX Television Festival on June 3, 2022.<\/p>\n
Reporter Richard Whittaker describes the pilot as a \u201cSF-tinged dramedy\u201d. In the article ATX TV Festival 2022: Baron and Toluca<\/a> you can find out what he thinks that makes \u201cBaron and Toluca\u201d work and what a problem is. Spoiler: It’s not really a problem in our opinion since fans get more than 60 minutes with the supernatural investigators Jake Baron and Toluca Mendez and investors and streamers can get a better look at all the different elements of a show.<\/p>\n He wrote:<\/p>\n If there’s a problem with\u00a0Baron and Toluca<\/i>‘s crowdfunded pilot, it’s that it’s overstuffed. It’s a relationship comedy, but also a\u00a0Twin Peaks<\/i>ian blast of small town strangeness, and a meta-comedy on celebrity, and a supernatural thriller. The first episode, clocking in well over 60 minutes, has enough plotline for three episodes of hour-long drama or, if they took a lighter direction, just as much character-driven comedy. A full series could go either way, or just keep with its deliberately awkward energy, because of the easy, dynamic, and charming interplay between Fehr and Delfino. Scooby-dooing their way into disaster, they bicker and jab, giving a hilarious edge that pushes the pilot beyond its crowdfunded technical limitations.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Without revealing too much about the storyline, the article continues with character descriptions and their dilemma. In addition, the authors gives an opinion what moments he think will find a wider audience for B+T . He concludes the piece by saying \u201cIt’s a lot in one small package, but then there’s a lot here to make their (hopefully) ongoing story intriguing.\u201d<\/p>\n Read about their first look at the UFO indie pilot from Roswell stars here: ATX TV Festival 2022: Baron and Toluca by Austin Chronicle<\/a><\/p>\n
