Review: Is This Thing On? – inspired by John Bishop

January 27, 2026 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Is This Thing On? sees Will Arnett and Laura Dern navigate a crumbling marriage with refreshing honesty. Loosely based on John Bishop’s life, it’s a mature, slightly meta dramedy about why we find it easier to confess to strangers than lovers.
