Go soon with John Lurie and friends on his amazing adventure series, Fishing with John. Our hero hunts shark (“When it comes to the shark,” the narrator intones, “man is on his menu”) with Jim Jarmusch, gets seasick with Tom Waits, does a mystical fish dance with Matt Dillon and takes a deadly trip to Maine with Willem Dafoe. John doesn’t actually know how to fish, but that’s not the point.

When you watch (Netflix has it), listen for three key moments:

• At one point, the deadpan narrator says, “I’d love a bite of your sandwich.” There’s no sandwich, and no real reason to say that.
• Tom Waits at one point goes into the differences between the chicken fish, the goat fish and the cheese fish. The cheese fish, of course, is what you catch in France
• Their guide in Thailand, says the narrator, “has wooden legs, but real feet.”
