What more do we need to say than Bob Odenkirk and David Cross’ new series at Netflix, “With Bob and David”, is coming Nov. 13th and this is the long awaited trailer that will somehow further whet your appetite more than it already is.

For his latest hour special, Anthony Jeselnik decided to test himself by taping it in a very politically correct town like San Francisco. Having seen Jeselnik alive, well, and still toeing the line with his villainously clever material after he finished the taping, we’re thinking that it went pretty well.

You can see for yourself in a trailer for Thoughts and Prayers here, then, in full, on Netflix on Oct. 16th.

Season 5 of Portlandia just made it on to Netflix and we’d wager that you might have figured out what you’ll be binge watching this weekend or until March next year when the new season premieres.

You can not only get into the headspace of many today’s top comedy showrunners, but what their headspace is like when they’re all in a room together.

Jill Soloway of Transparent, Robert Carlock of Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, Kenya Barris of Black-ish, Alec Berg of Silicon Valley, Jay Duplass of Togetherness, and Steve Levitan of Modern Family all came together to sit and chat at The Hollywood Reporter’s fascinating roundtable discussions about their shows and how they fit into the booming and constantly evolving landscape of television.

As you’ll see, there are plenty of the reasons that each one of these shows with these folks at the helm are successful.

Watch the hour long discussion here.

Watch Tig Notaro Do Panel Interview on Conan

We could elaborate as to what Tig Notaro chatted about with Conan O’Brien last night during her appearance on Conan in order to entice you to watch their chat. 

However, we know that you’re going to watch it anyway since it’s kind of Tig Notaro’s moment right now.

However, we will say that this road trip story is, as Tig will tell you, pretty hilarious.

Contrary To What We’ve All Been Hearing, Jason Bateman Says There Is No Current Plan for More “Arrested Development”

(via Uproxx/WTF w/Marc Maron)

We’ve all made a huge mistake?

Despite hearing from Brian Grazer about a new batch of episodes of Arrested Development coming soon, it seems more unsure that such a thing is indeed happening. 

Earlier this summer, Netflix’s Ted Sarandos expressed that he was hopeful to continue with new episodes of the series, but nothing was official or confirmed.

In his recent WTF appearance, Arrested Development star Jason Bateman echoed that sentiment by no knowledge of new episodes going into production. 

He also elaborated that calling the latest episodes of Arrested Development “season 4″ as misleading as they were the first part of a three part arc.

Let’s hope we’ll be able to see the other two parts.

“Colin Quinn: Unconstitutional” Now on Netflix as a Special

We have a pretty good guess as to what you’ll be watching today.

For those not on the East Coast, you probably didn’t get a chance to catch Colin Quinn’s last show, Colin Quinn: Unconstitutional live. 

You now have a chance to watch Colin comedically break down the U.S. Constitution and the history surrounding it as it’s now a special on Netflix.

As long as you have access to Netflix, watch it here.

Christopher Guest’s Next Film “Mascots” Headed to Netflix

(via Deadline)

Christopher Guest has taken on dog shows, folk bands, and rock bands trying to stay relevant in his celebrated filmography. Of course, a film on mascots is a logical next step.

Mascots is Guest’s next film that Netflix has just announced that it will be releasing. As the title suggests, the competitive world of mascots are going to be the subject of the film. 

Already, we’re imagining all the sorts of passive aggressive bickering that’s bound to happen in outlandish costumes, many of which will be animals with giant heads.

While that’s all the details that are currently available, expect Mascots to pop up on Netflix sometime in 2016.

“Wet Hot American Summer: First Day of Camp” Now on Netflix

There are 8 episodes just waiting to all be watched this weekend.

14 years ago, you came to love a film that brought a whole generation nostalgia for a summer camp experience they never had. 

Today, you can revisit Camp Firewood with the entire original cast in a prequel series where they all look older, but are technically younger than their 2001 selves. 

So, go watch Wet Hot American Summer: First Day of Camp over at Netflix now.

My new Netflix series is called MASTER OF NONE. All ten episodes debut Nov 6th on Netflix. I hope you like it. Bye!

For this series, Aziz Ansari is getting top billing and will be playing a NYC actor that’s loosely based on himself. 

According to Vulture, it sounds like it’ll be a single camera comedy based on his last special, Live at Madison Square Garden, and his latest book, Modern Romance with a focus on love, the immigrant experience, and deciding where to get food. 

Look for all 10 episodes of Master of None on Netflix on Nov. 6th.

Netflix’s Next Set of Stand-Up Specials Will Be from John Mulaney, Anthony Jeselnik, Demetri Martin, and Brent Morin

You do have a Netflix account by now, right? 

Of the things that Netflix has on its production slate, stand-up specials seem to be probably on the cheaper side of things and the sort of content that does well on the streaming service giant. 

So, they’ve got another whole round of hour comedy specials coming this year that will be worth making a reminder wherever you make reminders including:

Demetri Martin: Live (At the Time)-Fri., Aug. 14
Anthony Jeselnik: Thoughts and Prayers-Fri., Oct.16
John Mulaney: The Comeback Kid-Fri., Nov. 13
Brent Morin-Tues., Dec. 1

So, if you don’t have Netflix, now would be a good time to get it, especially since Wet Hot American Summer: First Day of Camp comes out this week.

(via Variety)

Coming from a 7 minute short that followed a man trying desperately to record his outgoing voicemail they made over a decade ago, The Duplass Brothers are now real Hollywood power brokers.

Earlier this year, The Duplass Brothers scored a four picture deal over at Netflix, which was both new and exciting territory for Netflix as well as Mark and Jay. 

Now that the duo have succeeded with their series Togetherness and the upcoming Animals at HBO, HBO has gone in for a two-year overall deal for Mark and Jay Duplass to develop and produce more original series.

Between making their own TV series and movies then starring in others, they’re solidifying an indie empire of sorts.
