It was so exciting to hear that there was not only going to be a revival of the video rental institution that was Vidiots in Santa Monica all the way on the other side of LA county, but they were also going to open up a live theater in conjunction with it.

The pandemic hitting, of course, made us wonder what exactly was going to happen and if this dream new venue, ostensibly a Cinefamily for Eastiders was going to still be a reality.

Well, luckily, it’s still going to happen (the plan aims for a 2022 opening) and you can help that reality coming to fruition by attending a grand comedy show benefit hosted by two wondrous parts of two different generations of comedy in Atsuko Okatsuka and Dana Gould. Also, on the bill will be the great comedy stylings of Mary Elizabeth Ellis, Georgia Hardstark, Ify Nwadiwe, and Niccole Thurman.

Tickets are only $10 for a live-stream for this Vidiots Comedy Show Benefit set to go live on Sat. Jun. 26th at 7:30PM PT/10:30PM ET. Go get your tickets here.

The trope of overly maudlin melodramas on Lifetime is getting the Adult Swim treatment by way of the waitress and Artemis from It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia playing a combative mother and daughter.

We love how it’s being billed as an “Lifetime movie made for Adult Swim”, which perhaps means that Lifetime is getting a better sense of humor about itself?

See for yourself in this promo and preview clip.

Mother, May I Dance With Mary Jane’s Fist? premieres Sun. Jan. 7th at midnight on Adult Swim.

Ken Marino, Kate McKinnon, Mary Elizabeth Ellis Join Jared Hess Heist Comedy

In addition to the top billed cast Zach Galifianakis, Owen Wilson, and Kristen Wiig, Ken Marino, Kate McKinnon, Mary Elizabeth Ellis, Leslie Jones, Devin Ratray, and Ross Kimball are now in on the Jared Hess directed heist comedy.

That’s one hell of a cast and we wonder if we’ll get to see all of them in the trailer when that comes out.

Eliza Coupe, Demetri Martin, Mary Elizabeth Ellis, Charlyne Yi Join ‘The Last Time You Had Fun’

Here’s another case of an indie comedy getting another delightful ensemble of a cast that has the potential to be a dark horse of a movie if it ever see a theatrical release.

This sort of makes us curious if indie comedy are greenlit, not so much on the main cast, but on how many cameos of really funny people they can get attached on their project nowadays.
