living with yourself

If you could have double the Paul Rudd, why not do it? Sure, that’s just a fringe benefit of this sci-fi existential comedy Living With Yourself that positions an improved Paul Rudd versus a lesser Paul Rudd, but we’ll take more of the ageless Rudd being perfectly Paul-Rudd-ish in a movie from writer Timothy Greenberg and directors Jonathan Dayton and Valerie Faris (whose credits include The Daily Show with Jon Stewart and Little Miss Sunshine respectively).

A bit of this premise was slightly explored in the film The One I Love with Mark Duplass and Elisabeth Moss, but this seems to get more into the “meat” of facing yourself, so to speak. They’ll have the room of a TV series to really get trippy and explore much more, which we’re on board for.

Also, we’d like to say that America should be prepared to be charmed by one Aisling Bea who co-stars here.

See all of this for yourself in the trailer for Living With Yourself here, then look for it on Netflix on Fri. Oct. 18th.

IFC’s is really branching out this year.

With anything ranging from Portlandia to Maron to Comedy Bang! Bang! to Documentary Now!, IFC is really trying to make its mark with programming that fall under their banner of ‘Always On Slightly Off.”

The slate of series that they’re developing really takes that moniker to new territory.

For 2016, IFC’s slate has:

-Todd Barth Can Help You-a new series from Bryan Cranston, along with Clay Graham and Steven Weber, follows an insurance adjuster who decides to, all of sudden, make a go at being a new age self-help guru.
-Canterbury Tales-Set around Hollywood’s first punk rock club in the 70s, this Allison Anders (Mi Vida Loca, Grace Of My Heart) and Terry Graham (drummer for seminal punk band The Bags, Gun Club, and author of Punk Like Me) series follows a brand new spankin’ band trying to make it.
–Detective Lady-BoJack Horseman’s Kelly Galuska has made a noir-ish comedy focused on a play-by-her-own rules detective.
-How to Rig an Election-Adapted from Allen Raymond’s book How to Rig An Election, Tom Ruprecht (Late Night with David Letterman, The Nightly Show with Larry Wilmore) is set to explore the dark side of political campaigning that people are becoming more and more aware of everyday.
–Grand Lake-From WGA award-winning Gretchen Enders (Gortimer Gibbon’s Life on Normal Street), this dark comedy circles two friends who wish the worst for each other.
-Laughs in Translation-The Above Average web series hosted by Brooks Wheelan where he tries to discover what makes for comedy around the world might be getting an upgrade to linear TV.
-Living With Yourself-Emmy and Peabody award-winning Tim Greenberg (Daily Show) has made a layered, philosophical comedy that trails a frustrated copywriter desperate to become a better person who goes through a unique treatment to do so.
-This Land Is Ours-This series from Vicki Pepperdine and Joanna Scanlan (Creators of Getting On and Puppy Love) shows squatters in Harlem squaring off with billionaires to keep the building they love.
-Jon Benjamin’s 100 Erotic Nights-Jon Benjamin delves into confessions of passion and betrayal all while still being Jon Benjamin.
–A late night talk show Hosted by Jim Norton-A newer version of Norton’s talk show that he briefly had on Vice.
