Jay Larson presents Another Short with Rory Scovel and Al Madrigal, This Time on Funerals
Comedian/storyteller/writer/filmmaker Jay Larson is getting pretty good at doing these ‘slice of life’ short films.

Now, Jay’s got another one with the same cast, “Even funerals can be a Happy time.”
Trailer for “Intervention” Dramedy from Clea DuVall Brings Up a Different Sort of Intervention
The A&E series Intervention brings to mind the struggles of those with various drug and substance abuses and the harrowing journey that all of that entails.
The Clea DuVall movie of the same name does track an Intervention, but it has nothing to really do with the ‘usual suspects’ that force an intervention.
Instead, Ben Schwartz, Alia Shawkat, Clea DuVall, Melanie Lynskey, Natasha Lyonne, and Jason Ritter give Vincent Piazza and Cobie Smulders the sort of intervention that might become more commonplace after this movie hits theaters.
See for yourself in the trailer.
Look for Intervention, the dramedy feature film, in theaters on August 26th.

Here’s Last Week Tonight wishing all of us a happy 4th of July, though not without a nice FOMO-inspired list of things we could have had if we had stayed with Great Britain over 200 years ago.

More details here.

“Great Minds with Dan Harmon” Does Their Season Finale Right with JFK, Mutant Spiders, and Dana Carvey
For a series that really takes license with both science and history, what better way is there to bring the season to an end than having Dana Carvey play JFK and there be the threat of giant mutated spiders?
Don’t even bother thinking of an answer and just watch the season (and maybe series?) finale of Great Minds with Dan Harmon here.

David Brent’s“Lady Gypsy” Actually Gets a Music Video That’s as Awkward as the Song
If you’re really getting antsy for the upcoming rock mockumentary David Brent: Life on the Road, an offshoot of the British version of The Office, then you’ll probably really get a kick of how insufferable David Brent continues to be this music video for his original song “Lady Gypsy”.
“Harmonquest”, Dan Harmon’s Live Action-Animated D&D Game Show Gets a Full Trailer
Dungeons and Dragons certainly doesn’t carry the stigma that it once used to, but that doesn’t mean that making it into engaging television would be easy.
Still, Dan Harmon has, from the looks of this trailer, figured that out. First, it appeared in portions of Harmontown, and now it’s a live action-animated hybrid now known as Harmonquest.
Coming to Seeso on July 14th, Harmon and a gathering of his friends including Jeff Bryan Davis and Erin McGathy, favorite funny people including Thomas Middleditch, Paul F. Tompkins, Aubrey Plaza, Ron Funches, Steve Agee, and John Hodgman, Kumail Nanjiani, and Chelsea Peretti and Game Master Spencer Crittenden will show you how much of a rollicking, incredibly layered, and enjoyably complicated game D&D can be.

Catch its premiere at midnight tonight on Adult Swim.

Jerry Rocha’s Latest Album “Pickle Dick” Out Now
While there is often a worry in music about a band’s sophomore album, there is absolutely nothing to worry about with Jerry Rocha’s sophomore offering, Pickle Dick.
Rocha hammers out another fun hour relentless, unfiltered honesty that’s as vulnerable as it is loose and screwy.

Get Pickle Dick on iTunes here.
