Eric Andre and Lil’ Rel Prank Movie ‘Bad Trip’ Set for Oct. 25th Release
Eric Andre along with Lil’ Rel and Eric Andre Show director Kitao Sakurai have made a feature length prank movie that will come out right before Halloween.
Effectively, it’ll be The Eric Andre Show: The Movie (with Lil’ Rel instead of Hannibal Buress), right?
We’ll be curious to see a teaser of just exactly what they got away with.
Phil Burgers never ceases to surprise, even if you think you know what his game is. A perennial favorite at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, a star in clowning/idiot, the owner and AD at beloved LA venue Lyric Hyperion, and one of those sorts talents that can and very often take moments from 0-60 comedically in an instant.
Thus is the case with this short film The Passage, created by Burgers and directed by Kitao Sakurai. It could be thought of a postmodern execution of the silent comedy very much keeps the silly, absurd spirit of the classical silent, physical comedy from almost a century ago.
Also, this is one of the last things produced by the revived Super Deluxe and thankfully lives on courtesy of TBS.
Oh, if you don’t know about Jetzo, we think this might be a nice little intro to one of our current favorite comedy duos working today.
So, without further adieu, please enjoy The Passage here.
