Black Mirror Creator Charlie Brooker Is Making a Netflix Mockumentary Comedy Special, “Death to 2020”
December 7, 2020

Without question, 2020 has been one of the worst years that anyone alive has been living. It will very likely be the worst year that many of us (who have many years of living ahead of them) will have lived through in our lifetime. COVID-19, Trump, climate change, and the uprisings from systemic/racial/misogynistic/classist/transphobic oppression have made 2020 a terribly tragic year on a historic level.

With that in mind, master of dystopia Charlie Brooker, creator of Black Mirror, is going to do a very special mockumentary style comedy special dedicated to how especially awful this year has been. Brooker is very aptly calling it Death to 2020.

Outside of it being a mockumentary Netflix “comedy event” and the cast including Samuel L. Jackson, Hugh Grant, Lisa Kudrow, Tracey Ullman, Leslie Jones, Diane Morgan, Cristin Milioti, and Joe Keery, there’s not very many other details to be had at this time as you can see in this teaser here.

As far as 2020 goes, it makes total sense that someone who is responsible for giving you nightmares about robotic dogs hunting humans to extinction would be doing a comedy special about this year.

 

“Space Force” Teaser Shows Steve Carell as Boss of an Office Again (Though Much More Dangerous Than Dunder Mifflin)
May 5, 2020

An argument could be made that Steve Carell knows how to play a conflicted boss type better than almost any one just off his performance as Michael Scott on The Office.

With that in mind, it’s very exciting to see Carell in another boss role that’s set in an office in Netflix’s upcoming satirical comedy from Steve Carell and Greg Daniels, Space Force, based on Trump’s real life, newly created branch of the U.S. military. In this office, the stakes are much, much higher than they would be at Dunder Mifflin and Carell isn’t necessarily the main source of the strife so much as it’s emanating from the circumstances he was placed in. Space Force actually seems a little closer in DNA to Veep than The Office, though we’ll see when Space Force premieres given Daniels and Carell being so closely tied to the American version of The Office. Still, Carell returning to being the series lead in a comedy is pretty damn enticing.

See all of this for yourself in Space Force teaser here.

Lisa Kudrow To Voice Literal ‘Therapy Dog’ in Animated Presentation for Fox

OK, so Lisa Kudrow will be starring at the titular Therapy Dog, a dog that actually provides traditional therapy for other animals, in this animated project that comes from a team that includes Clea DuVall (whose film The Intervention doesn’t get enough love in our opinion), Jennifer Crittenden, and Gabrielle Allan along with writer/producer/actress dramedy powerhouse Sharon Horgan attached.

Also, the dog that Kudrows plays will also be in an questionable marriage and curious about a charming coyote.

So far, this checks plenty of boxes for us. Even the idea of a dog that is a therapist is pretty damn adorable. Hopefully, this makes it through development hell just to see what this might look/sound/feel like (because it could be great).

Kevin Pollak Getting Into the Comedy Documentary Game

Kevin Pollak (who has his own podcast and has done a comedy special) is indeed going forward with a documentary about comedy, specifically digging at the process/minds of comedians/comedic actors/etc. like Jim Gaffigan or Christopher Guest or Lisa Kudrow.

If the growth in interest of how comedy works via documentaries exploring comedy doesn’t confirm a current boom in comedy, then we honestly don’t know what will.
