HBO and HBO Max are diving further into their stash of period pieces for 2022. Already, they’ve got The Gilded Age whetting people’s appetites with a showdown of old and new money in Industrial Age America between Christine Baranski and Carrie Coon, but they also have one of the year’s mostly highly anticipated shows in Adam McKay’s Lakers dynasty series Winning Time coming in just a few days.

Also coming down the HBO Max streaming pipeline will be The Minx, a 70s nudie mag comedy that follows a fledgling feminist magazine get itself on the ground by featuring nude men. Ophelia Lovibond and Jake Johnson star in this Ellen Rapoport series along with a lot of comedy scene favorites in Lennon Parham, Oscar Montoya, and Jessica Lowe.

For something that is essentially the hypothetical flip of Playboy minus Hugh Hefner, there seems to be some pretty fun promise for the series. Get a delicious taste of what’s to come with The Minx in the first official trailer here, then look for it to stream on HBO Max on Fri. Mar. 17th.

The latest work from the singular Joe Swanberg is a film co-written by Jake Johnson and himself called Win It All.

The trailer promises a caper with a guy who just can’t stop making impulsive, bad decisions that just happens to come into possession of money that isn’t his. Keegan-Michael Key, Joe Lo Truglio, and Aislinn Derbez round out the cast for what might be both a charming comedy and one of Swanberg’s most plot-driven works to date.

Watch the trailer for Win It All here then look for it on Netflix on Friday, April 7th.

Watch “The Earliest Show” Where Ben Schwartz Goes Through the Five Stages of Grief as a Morning Talk Show Co-Host Next to a Very Chipper Lauren Lapkus

Watching Ben Schwartz go through denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance in the setting of a blissfully aloof morning show with the uber-cheerful Lauren Lapkus is a performance worthy of some awards attention. 

Branded content (Cap’n Crunch is prominently featured) doesn’t get much more out there and, at the same time, better than this.

Rich Fulcher Narrates Bobby Fischer vs. Boris Spassky for “Drunk History”

The story of chess prodigy Bobby Fischer playing against Russian chess champion Boris Spassky is already incredulous without embellishment, especially the type coming from a person who is under the influence of some substance.

So, it only stands to reason that a silly, drunk Rich Fulcher would tell one of the best versions of the story accompanied by Taran Killam as Bobby Fischer and Jake Johnson as Boris Spassky while he seems like one of the drunker narrators that has been on Drunk History. This should serve as a great appetizer or dessert for watching Pawn Sacrifice.

Watch how Fischer beat the Russian chess grandmaster as well as how Rich made it through the story.

Dan St. Germain to Star in/Write/Produce Comedy at Fox

Dan St. Germain is getting set to star in a comedy at Fox that he will get to write and co-executive produce, which is definitely another great move by Fox. 

Also, Dan will be playing a guy dealing with a break up, so we cannot wait to see a lot of Dan’s stand up work it’s way into a sitcom.
