2. Cam Gavinski proves, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that the best way to break the rules in comedy is to know them with one hell of a debut special how to make everything about you forever and always. We’ll share more thoughts soon, but, for now, please enjoy a grand 90 minute, very tightly rehearsed meta comedy epic here.

3. Jimmy Kimmel, Jimmy Fallon, Seth Meyers, and Stephen Colbert are all set to return to their desks on Oct. 2nd (and effectively kick that punk Gutfeld to the curb) along with John Oliver coming in a day early on Oct. 1st with Last Week Tonight. Expect a new episode of Real Time with Bill Maher this Friday as well (Variety).

4. A “Making of Airplane!” is in the works (Deadline) and you ought to know that there will be plenty of old folks saying that they couldn’t make a movie like this today (despite the Internet being chock full of much more controversial content).

5. As October is technically the spookiest month of the year, it only makes sense that the adult animated series that simultaneously makes you burst out laughing about the most embarrassing moments of your adolescence. Get ready with this first trailer for season 7 of Big Mouth, set to premiere on Oct. 20th on Netflix.

8. Zainab Johnson, who you have probably have seen on Upload, but hopefully have seen do delightful stand-up, is having her debut hour on Amazon Prime, come Oct. 24th, with the wondrous title, Hijabs Off.

9. We’ll leave you for this: Drew Carey not only covered people’s tabs at Swingers and Bob’s Big Boy for the entire duration of the WGA Strike, but included one extra day as a victory breakfast/lunch/dinner.

1. It shouldn’t really come as a surprise that a Wes Anderson film adapted from a Roald Dahl book would seem to be an utter delight and yet another colorful addition to Anderson’s storied filmography. We’re thrilled that it was only a few short months ago that Asteroid City came out and we’re now treated to another helping of Wes Anderson so soon. So, without further adieu, take your first gander at The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar starring Benedict Cumberbatch, due out on Netflix on Sept. 27th.

2. Adam Sandler is going back on tour from Oct. 12th-Dec. 12th (Billboard). His last tour and special were some of Sandler’s most cherished work to date, especially outside of things like Uncut Gems.

3. Diffidate delle Imitazioni (literally translated as Beware of Imitations, but will be called Fake Show in English) is a brand new Italian comedy game show, ordered by Rai, where Italian celebrities will improvise based off of suggestions and prompts generated by AI (Deadline). Though it might try, AI will not best Clive Anderson as an improv show host.

4. Frequent scene stealer Murray Hill (Live & Beth and Somebody Somewhere) is coming out with his very first memoir, Showbiz! My Unexpected Life as a Middle-Aged Man, which appears to have more than just a story of making it in the Big Apple. It’s set for 2025 release, but we’re sure we’ll get tid bits and morsels leading up to that day.

5. Just a little more than a month of waiting before you get Big Mouth season 7 (specifically, Oct. 20th on Netflix).

6. The premiere of Donald Glover and Maya Erskine‘s Mr. and Mrs. Smith is delayed due to the ongoing strike and its prohibition of promoting certain big time movies and TV series (THR). If the studios do end up going rogue from the streamers and tech giants, we might have to wait even longer to see this.

7. This full length trailer for season 2 of Our Flag Means Death almost makes you want to go back in time to make piracy more like it is between Taika Waititi and Rhys Darby. Season 2 sets sail on Thurs. Oct. 5th.

8. Nothing Bill Maher does on this writer-less return of Real Time will top Conan O’Brien spinning his wedding ring.

See the Full Breadth of Big Mouth’s Human Resources In Its First Full-Length Trailer

It was kind of the tease of the last season of Big Mouth that there is more to the world of Hormone Monsters and Shame Wizards than what we’ve seen terrorize or inspire the human teens going through the nightmare that is puberty. Thus, that will be the core of the spin-off series Human Resources.

The world of Human Resources will explore all sorts of Depression Kitties, Logic Rocks, Grati-Toads, and much much more and how off-the-rails their world is as well. Per usual with Big Mouth (or shall we say the Big Mouth Cinematic Universe), it’s stacked with a bright, shining, star studded voice cast that includes Aidy Bryant, Nick Kroll, Maya Rudolph, Brandon Kyle Goodman, David Thewlis, Randall Park, Keke Palmer, Lupita Nyong’o, Rosie Perez, Ali Wong, Helen Mirren, Henry Winkler, Janelle Monáe, and Hugh Jackman.

Get a full, rollicking taste of what that’s all going to be like (maybe even more raunchy than Big Mouth?) in this trailer here, then look for all episodes to drop on Netflix on Fri. Mar. 18th.

Here’s a Welcome to Human Resources, The Otherworldly Workplace Spin-Off of Big Mouth

February 7, 2022

News

big mouth, human resources, netflix, teaser

Hormone Monsters, Shame Wizards, Love Bugs, and more are the workforce in the Big Mouth Cinematic Universe that help guide human thoughts, feelings, and behaviors in the wildly, oxymoronic way that only humans really relish in. They’ve been the lords of both chaos and healing of their assigned humans and the most stand-out part of Big Mouth. As such, Netflix went all in on a spin-off that’s focused on all the magically real creatures that people have come to know and love over several seasons of Big Mouth.

With that in mind, you might want a more formal, “corporate” introduction to them including some brand new folks like “Logic Rocks”, which should be a very fun foil to the extremities of a Depression Kitty or the Anxiety Mosquito. Get your welcome to the most fun version of a Human Resources department here.

Human Resources, Big Mouth’s Otherworldly Spin-Off, Gives First Look

News

Arguably, the last season of the raunchy, yet vulnerable coming-of-age animated comedy Big Mouth, was a big set-up for the spin-off Human Resources that focuses in on the world where all the monsters and creatures that are in charge of human emotions/feelings/thoughts/fears/anxieties/insecurities come from. Hormone Monsters, Shame Wizards, Love Bugs, etc. and their bureaucratic and nuanced adventures will drive a whole new facet of what will inevitably the Big Mouth Cinematic Universe.

You can get your first sneak peek as to what that will entail with Human Resources‘ “recruitment teaser” and wonder what the Moai head manger-esque character will be called (Logic Liason?)

Look for the series premiere of Big Mouth‘s Human Resources on Fri. Mar. 18th on Netflix.

Big Mouth Season 5 Trailer Introduces Hate Worms and Love Bugs

October 15, 2021

News

andrew goldberg, big mouth, jessi klein, nick kroll

Hormone Monsters, Shame Wizards, Depression Kitties, and more have been whimsical, absurdly funny creatures of the Big Mouth universe that, as far as we know, goes as hard in on truthful, uncompromising humor of what puberty and adolescence is really like as any other movie or TV series has in the history of the moving image.

Through four seasons, the celebrated adult animated series has been so hysterically crass and yet so heart-wrenching, yet so sweet all in one package and always bringing new ways to marry magical realism and the unflinching truth, often based on the lives of its creators/writers.

The upcoming fifth season of Big Mouth seems like it’ll carry such a hallowed torch of this hormone driven fairy tale world and include new additional anthropomorphic concepts as cute-ish creatures, Love Bugs and Hate Worms. We have no doubt that’ll hit a nostalgic emotional nerve just like they have throughout the past four seasons.

You can get a taste of what that’s like here in the official trailer for season 5 of Big Mouth, just released today (and, as such, we’ll be curious to see if this will enter the fray of Netflix’s growing firestorm Chappelle controversy as other Netflix comedy talent has lashed out at the streaming giant in response to Chappelle’s The Closer).

All episodes stream Fri. Nov. 5th on Netflix.

Big Mouth’s Season 4 Trailer Is Here (and Introduces the Anxiety Mosquito)

November 13, 2020

News

Though it is one of the most explicit animated series of all time, Big Mouth has proven over three seasons that it also has plenty of heart, depth, and humanity in following the horrific time that is puberty and playing it out hilariously with a flair of magic realism.

Normally, waiting for this fourth season to come out would have been a little excruciating, but there has been plenty of things in 2020 that kept our minds more than occupied (probably overloaded to be quite frank). So, the arrival of an entire new season of Big Mouth on Fri. Dec. 4th on Netflix is the second of early holiday gifts (the first being a Trump loss of course).

This trailer promises a season that delivers on the high bar that Big Mouth has set for itself as well as introducing a new imaginary character that will surely hit us all way to close to home, the “anxiety mosquito”

Get a taste of all of that here.

To pull of a live-stream stand-up show is hard just as it. To do it consistently and charge and have a dedicated audience that’s willing to pay in an unprecedented time of economic fallout is truly amazing. That’s what Carmen Morales has done with her recurring live-stream Zoom stand-up show, Social D. Carmen zooms with TCB’s Jake Kroeger to see how she pulled it off and really disproves that comedy is dead right now (it’s just different). Also, “hot” takes on Jim Gaffigan’s rant against the RNC and Ayo Edebiri replacing Jenny Slate as voice of Missy on Big Mouth.

You can follow Carmen at carmenmorales.com and @thefunnycarmen across socials and listen to her podcast No Sir Pod.

Big Mouth Scores Spin-Off “Human Resources” at Netflix

October 4, 2019

Uncategorized

big mouth, human resources, netflix, spin off

One of the most intriguing parts of the hit Netflix animated series Big Mouth is the anthropomorphized feelings, emotions, fears, etc. that govern human behavior.

Thus, announced today, Netflix ordered a spin-off of Big Mouth that focuses on that part of the magically real universe created by Nick Kroll, Andrew Goldberg, Jennifer Flackett, and Mark Levin. Basically, from what we can gather from this announcement teaser, it’ll be a whole series that part Monsters Inc., part Inside Out, and, for sure, more explicit than both combined that follows Hormone Monsters, Depression Kitties, Shame Wizards, and more in their daily lives.

Your guess is as good as ours as to who might this butterfly like character might be. Our money is on a manifestation of hope or an inner child.

If you’ve enjoyed the super blue comedic brilliance of Big Mouth, you ought to know that you’re in store for some very explicit and magically real stories of puberty and coming of age.

The trailer for this upcoming season 3 of Big Mouth certainly makes good on that notion. On top of all of that though, it would seems that there’s a bit of a Queer Eye crossover that attempts Queer-eye-ing Coach Steve. Per usual, it’s going to be one hell of a season.

See for yourself in this latest Big Mouth trailer, then look for the series to drop on Oct. 4th.

Big Mouth To Get 3 More Seasons at Netflix

BIG MOUTH HAS BEEN PICKED UP FOR 3 MORE SEASONS!!! Thank you to our writers, cast, crew, Netflix and everyone around the world who watches the show!

–@nickkroll

Announced today, the ultra honest, magical realism of Big Mouth will get to live on for quite some more time at Netflix. We’re looking forward to whatever Nick Kroll, Andrew Goldberg, Mark Levin, and Jennifer Flackett have up their sleeve, but we do wonder how far they’ll let all the characters (and their corresponding monsters) grow up.

Also, we’re sure Kroll will dazzle us all by voicing a dozen more characters at least.

Big Mouth’s Valentine’s Special “My Furry Valentine” Is Now Streaming

February 8, 2019

Uncategorized

Marked as the first episode of season 3, this very special Valentine’s episode (it’s also technically a double ep.) of Big Mouth is all the unabashed magic-realism-driven-blue-humor that you’ve come to, perhaps, secretly enjoy does a great job of covering almost every base for the holiday (as opposed to so many rom coms that fall short of the mark).

My Furry Valentine definitely satisfies that get a little existential or nihilistic on Valentine’s Day with several storylines, but also has enough sweetness for those who actually lean into the corporate created holiday about love.

In any case, Big Mouth Presents My Furry Valentine is now streaming at Netflix for you to enjoy a week before the actual Valentine’s Day as many folks, we guess, probably have other things lined up to do besides binge watching Netflix?

The fine folks at Big Mouth will be delivering a Valentine’s Day special a week before Valentine’s, specifically Feb. 8th, called Big Mouth: My Furry Valentine.

As is the prerogative of the show, we’re sure it’s going to show you what Valentine’s is like for pre-teens, warts and all. Whether you love or hate the holiday, there should be something that hits close to home for how ridiculous that day is. Get a taste of it here.

Big Mouth Renewed for Season 3 at Netflix

We definitely think this is a no-brainer on Netflix’s part as season 2 definitely elevated the animated series on all fronts (as well as getting even more topping how blue it could get), but we’re curious how long Kroll and Goldberg will aim to have this explicit animated series about puberty go as Andrew, Nick, Jay, and Jessi can’t stay teens forever.

Still, we’ll definitely be looking forward to checking over our shoulder if someone is watching us watch that at a coffee shop.

In promotion for the series, you’ve might have heard Nick Kroll mention how frank Big Mouth is when following the lives of girls and boys going through terribly confusing time known as puberty.

Well, Kroll wasn’t pulling any punches with that claim and we’re thankful for that as Big Mouth now stands out as an honest portrayal of being a teenager that’s still very much a fun animated series.

This time they’ll be playing teenagers as opposed to old men with a lot of spunk.

Oh, Hello has brought Nick Kroll and John Mulaney to the forefront of comedy as two senior best friends who are very, very, very opinionated, especially when it comes to tuna.

Taking notice, Netflix has ordered an animated series from Kroll and Andrew Goldberg that will put the voices of Kroll and Mulaney in the starring roles of two teenagers going through hitting puberty along with Maya Rudolph and Jason Mantzoukas. As it’s animated, we’re sure that they’ll up the ante on how ridiculous they can get.

Look for Big Mouth to start streaming in 2017.
