When Amazon Studios first sought to make a round of comedy series, they were open to submissions and now they’re in another development cycle, they’re looking for more genre comedies, dramadies, dark comedy, and other such projects along those lines. 

At the very least, if you make it to being a pilot, people will get a chance to see it.

For the longest time, it’s been known that the U.S. isn’t as in to soccer or, as the rest of the world calls it, football. As a result, some foreigners like to impress that fact on Americans when we participate in the World Cup, in which we’re currently doing not too shabby.

Yannis Pappas offered up a solution of sorts to this problem in his half hour special on Comedy Central that premiered this past weekend. Watch it here.

North Korea Is Calling ‘The Interview’ An Act of Terrorism

North Korea continues to be outraged about the upcoming spy assassination comedy The Interview with Seth Rogen and James Franco. In fact, they’ve gone so far as to call it “an act of terrorism” and “a war action”.

We think that’s a bit of stretch, but, apparently, “If the U.S. administration connives at and patronizes the screening of the film, it will invite a strong and merciless countermeasure,” according to a North Korea’s Foreign Ministry spokesman.

Well, if that strong and merciless countermeasure is a film where they go after Obama, it would be interesting to see where they will find a black actor in North Korea.

NBC Universal Admits Error Trying to Censor ‘Obvious Child’ Ad

NBC Universal got into a little hot water over a submitted ad for Gillian Robespierre’s great film Obvious Child starring Jenny Slate. Apparently, they initially didn’t want to run the ad as it mentioned the word “abortion”. NBC Universal has now admitted that it was an error and is now accepting the ad without that censor note.

Now that it’s all cleared up, you should go see Obvious Child.

Paul Scheer Is Putting NTSF:SD:SUV on Hold; Developing Other Projects at Adult Swim and HBO

Paul Scheer is as busy as he’s ever been. With being on plenty of shows, appearing on so many web videos, now getting into comic books, and still performing live, Scheer has a lot on his plate. Opting to not force another season of NTSF:SD:SUV out when he doesn’t feel inspired enough, he’s going to other projects that are in development.

One of them is at Adult Swim and is a G.I. Joe like cartoon that depicts Cobra nowadays. The HBO project is supposedly “True Detective-esque”. 

While NTSF:SD:SUV is on hold, these two new developments already have us hooked.

Following the great high concept comedy Safety Not Guaranteed, Aubrey Plaza’s high concept comedy this year is one where she’s a zombie, but still in love with her boyfriend. In fact, she’s less a zombie and more like Aubrey Plaza with an appetite for humans. Dane DeHaan stars opposite her as the boyfriend in what might be a very memorable role and John C. Reilly and Molly Shannon co-star as parents supportive of a alive-dead relationship.

Watch the trailer here and get excited for a release sometime this Summer.
