Aubrey Plaza Makes a Convincing Pitch For Us to All Watch Lifetime’s Grumpy Cat Christmas Movie

November 12, 2014

aubrey plaza, grumpy cat, jimmy kimmel live, lifetime

Rather than a trailer or quotes pulled from favorable reviews from critics, Lifetime should have their marketing campaign lead by Aubrey Plaza’s explanation of Grumpy Cat’s Worst Christmas Ever on Jimmy Kimmel Live.

She can’t believe what went down with her voicing one of the most famous cats on the Internet, notes that this movie is historic, and uses the word “insane” more than once when describing working on it.

Those are pretty good selling points as far as we’re concerned. If you’re so inclined to now watch Grumpy Cat’s Worst Christmas Ever, it premieres on Lifetime on Nov. 29th at 8PM.

IFC Orders Presentation of David Krumholtz’s Gigi from WeatherFrom.com

November 12, 2014

david krumholtz, gigi, ifc, weatherfrom.com

The mysterious Boca Raton, FL grandmother Gigi that gave us weather reports the best way we have ever gotten weather reports is now moving on up in the world.

IFC has officially ordered a presentation of David Krumholtz’s Gigi following her going through her bucket list. It should come as no surprise that presentation is coming from a company called Grandma’s House Entertainment.

Looks like the universe listened when we wished for Gigi to do more than just tell us the weather then a bunch of other stuff that only an old Grandma residing in Florida would tell you.

Keith Malley Releases His 11th Stand-Up Special “God Made Me” on Hulu

November 12, 2014

comedy cellar, comedy special, hulu, keith and the girl, keith malley, nyc

It’s rare to hear of comedians reach stand-up specials in the double digits, but Keith Malley of Keith and the Girl has just hit his 11th special with God Made Me: The Very Worst of Keith Malley.

At this point, Malley likes to take a little bit of a leap in concept for his specials, so the fun in this one is how dark Malley can go from all his material (i.e. “the very worst”).

It was recorded live at the legendary Comedy Cellar in NYC and you can and should watch it right now on Hulu, which means you don’t need to “borrow” someone’s password).

Paul F. Tompkins Has His Latest, Long, Nice Chat with Sarah Silverman

November 11, 2014

in conversation, made man, paul f tompkins, sarah silverman, speakeasy

Paul F. Tompkins’ Speakeasy web series on Made Man continues to be our favorite way to watch intimate conversations, almost Charlie Rose-ish, but over drinks and with the spirited fun that always surrounds Paul F. Tompkins.

So, naturally, you should be watching this latest episode with Emmy winning, rights defending comedian Sarah Silverman right now.

Amazon Development Exec Sarah Babineau Headed to Comedy Central

November 11, 2014

amazon, comedy central, sarah babineau

(via The Hollywood Reporter)

For all the success that Amazon has been having with their original series as of late, Comedy Central has taken note. As such, they’ve cherry picked their development executive Sarah Babineau that has developed such series as Transparent and Alpha House and are bringing her talents to foster original series for them on the East Coast.

Comedy Central already has a fantastic line-up of programming and we can only imagine that they’re going to keep headed in that direction with this move.

Andy Peters’ Debut Album “Exclamation Mark Question Point” Out Today From AST Records

Conan O’Brien Gets to Play Assassins’ Creed Unity for Clueless Gamer

November 11, 2014

For once, Conan O’Brien doesn’t struggle too much with gameplay while doing his video game review show, Clueless Gamer. He just got a chance to play/review the latest installment of The Assassin’s Creed franchise in Assassin’s Creed Unity and got the hang of it.

While playing, O’Brien found that he didn’t too much assistance from Aaron Bleyaert unlike he did when trying to cross a street in Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare. However, Conan also found that he enjoyed the assassination part a lot, perhaps, too much.

IFC Midnight to Release Quentin Dupieux’s Latest, “Reality”

November 11, 2014

eric wareheim, ifc, ifc midnight, john heder, quentin dupieux, reality, wrong, wrong cops

While certainly out there in the far reaches of the bizarre, we couldn’t help but double over in laughter all throughout Quentin Dupieux‘s Wrong and Wrong Cops.

So, naturally, we’re excited for his next film Reality, which has just been acquired by IFC Midnight, like Wrong Cops, for release.

Eric Wareheim, John Heder, Alain Chabat, Elodie Bouchez, “a mysterious VHS”, an “imaginary skin disease”, and more that are in “Reality” seems to be the ingredients for another mind-bending fun romp from Dupieux.

Watch a clip of it and see what we’re talking about here.

Get Barbara Holm’s Collection of Short Stories “I love you; I’m sorry: (A graphic semi graphic novel about love)”

November 10, 2014

barbara holm, graphic novel, short stories

The title of the book/semi-graphic novel “I love you; I’m sorry: (A graphic semi graphic novel about love)” is enough for us to get on board, but knowing that its author is the wonderful and hilarious, currently Portland-based Barbara Holm makes us more than on board for getting and reading it very soon.

It’s a collection of short stories on love and loss from the person who managed to create an endearing story and make it work for the very explicit Competitive Erotic Fan Fiction.

So, get “I love you; I’m sorry” now.

“Community” Adds Paget Brewster and Keith David as Regulars for Season 6

November 10, 2014

community, keith david, paget brewster, season 6, yahoo

With Community’s return for a season 6 on Yahoo being only a couple of months away, there’s only more anticipation building over the series that has defied expectations at every turn.

On top of the miracle that was pulled off by making it to its sixth season (and hopefully a movie), Community has added two new cast members in Paget Brewster, who we’d hope you be familiar with from a guest role in Community as well as her regular role in The Thrilling Adventure Hour, and Keith David who has been in a vast myriad of things, but we’ll never forget for his disturbing role in Requiem For a Dream.

We’re into this additions especially since Yvette Nicole Brown has left Community.

Last Week Tonight’s Finale Had a Salmon Cannon

November 10, 2014

finale, hbo, john oliver, last week tonight, salmon cannon

By now, you’ve probably seen posted elsewhere around the Internet, this amazing clip from the finale of Last Week Tonight with John Oliver where he uses a salmon cannon (it’s exactly what it sounds like) to launch salmon all across the television landscape. Just because we didn’t post at 12:01AM and get the most Facebook interactions out of it, doesn’t mean we’re not going to post this hilarious bit.

Such recipients of salmon to the face include Jon Stewart, Jimmy Fallon, JJ Abrams, Homer Simpson, Dwight Howard, Tom Hanks, and so much more.

If this doesn’t make sense to you yet, just watch and thoroughly enjoy, then have an overwhelming sense of sadness that there will be no new Last Week Tonight for the weeks to come.

“Absolutely Anything” Might Be The Last Film with Robin Williams

November 10, 2014

absolutely anything, monty python, robin williams, terry jones

(via The Hollywood Reporter)

When Robin Williams tragically passed away earlier this year, he had already put in his work for several projects that were to be released at a later date.

One of those films was Merry Friggin’ Christmas, but it turns out, apparently, that the last role Williams took on before he passed was voicing a dog in the upcoming film “Absolutely Anything” from Monty Python’s Terry Jones.

While Orson Welles’ voice was oddly lent right before he died to the transforming planet Omicron in the animated Transformers movie, Robin Williams voicing a dog in a comedy seems much more fitting and will definitely be a thing to watch for when Absolutely Anything hits theaters.

Jimmy Kimmel Tries to Convince Craig Ferguson To Not Leave “The Late Late Show”

November 9, 2014

cbs, craig ferguson, jimmy kimmel, late late show

Craig Ferguson is a very good late night talk show host.

Perhaps, you’ve not had your TV tuned to CBS at 12:35AM after Letterman to find that out over the last decade, but Ferguson, for our money, excelled at the hardest part of hosting the traditional late night talk show format, the interviews. The skill of making a fun, intriguing conversation with people whether they be crazy or dull is one that Ferguson has honed better than almost anyone currently working in late night.

So, the prospect of his exit from The Late Late Show is one that we’re having difficulty getting used to and Jimmy Kimmel feels much the same way.

Craig explains his reasons to Jimmy and the rest of us on The Late Late Show during Jimmy’s appearance on the show this week. Watch it here or here on CBS and start at 18:01 because CBS doesn’t want to put this vastly interesting interview in an easily accessible, user-friendly format online.

The Dollop, the new podcast hosted by Dave Anthony and Gareth Reynolds, is something that you absolutely should subscribe to listen to, especially if you wondering about all the a-holes in history that you never learned about in any level of your education.

As an example, just watch the entire episode that they recorded live at this year’s LA Podcast Festival that focused on President James A. Garfield’s assassin, Charles Guiteau. Leave it to Anthony, Reynolds and guest Wil Anderson to make that so much damn fun.
