Just like the breezy rides that the series takes us through while Jerry Seinfeld and his guest hang out for the most successful version of comedians having coffee, we have coasted on to season 11 of Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee (that’s 2 more than Seinfeld FYI).

Per usual, Jerry has stacked line-up of guests including Eddie Murphy, Melissa Villaseñor, and Martin Short and, as far as we can see, Jerry’s winning formula here will keep going as long as he wants.

See it for yourself in this season’s trailer here.

Trailer for Frankenstein’s Monster’s Monster, Frankenstein Promises Something That’s as Meta As It Can Get

david harbour, frankenstein's monster's monster frankenstein, netflix, trailer

OK, let’s see if we can get this right…

In this mockumentary, real life actor David Harbour went and created his own alternate family history that makes the Harbours a family of actors. From there, Harbour wants to dissect his father’s attempt to make a stage play for TV that is a re-imagining-of-sorts of the Frankenstein story and thus makes this documentary. Harbour plays himself and “David Harbour Jr.”, his “father” in this meta-mockumentary that, in this trailer, includes a pull-quote from Harbour himself.

Pretty meta, right?

What this might be is a little murky at this point, but Frankenstein’s Monster’s Monster, Frankenstein looks like it could be a lot of fun in a Christopher Guest-ish way. The title certainly is the right kind of silly to peak our curiosity.

Watch the trailer here, then look for it streaming on Netflix, Tues. Jul. 16th.

Netflix Renews Tim Robinson’s I Think You Should Leave for Second Season

i think you should leave, netflix, renewed, tim robinson

Considering that I Think You Should Leave has, far and away, some of the best sketches this year (and maybe in recent memory), this renewal should have come several weeks ago, you know, a day or two after the show premiered.

Still, that means more delicious, absurdist morsels from the beautifully bizarre mind of Tim Robinson and co. are coming our way. Thank goodness.

Between Two Ferns: The Movie Is Coming to Netflix Right at the End of the Summer

between two ferns, netflix, scott aukerman, zach galifianakis

Just before the summer ends on Sept. 20th, there’s one more big tentpole blockbuster set to come out that you’ll absolutely need to see.

That’s right, Rambo V, the latest installment in the Rambo film empire, will be in theaters around the world.

(sound of shuffling papers)

Oh yeah, that Between Two Ferns with Zach Galifianakis movie is coming out too on Netflix.

Come to think of it, maybe Aukerman and Galifianakis were able to land Sly Stone? We sincerely hope so.

Historical Roasts Gets a Trailer

historical roasts, jeff ross, netflix, trailer

This coming Memorial Day, some of history’s most notable figures are being brought back to life just to get put in the crosshairs of the Roastmaster General Jeff Ross and the perfect dais for said historical figure (i.e. Anne Frank roasting Hitler) on Historical Roasts.

The Netflix TV adaptation of Eddie Furth, Ryan Pigg, and Samee Junio’s live show will feature the likes of Rosa Parks (Sasheer Zamata), Freddie Mercury (James Adomian), the aforementioned Hitler (Gilbert Gottfried), and more. This should be one of the more spicy history lessons that you’ve ever gotten.

Get a taste of it all in the trailer here, then look for all episodes to start streaming May 27th on Netflix.

Go Binge “I Think You Should Leave with Tim Robinson” If You Haven’t Already

i think you should leave, netflix, tim robinson

If you’re like us and have been pondering the state and direction of sketch comedy right now, you might want to do yourself a favor and spend just around two hours watching the wonderfully daft, absurdist box-of-treasures that is Tim Robinson’s I Think You Should Leave on Netflix.

It’s only six episodes at less than twenty minutes a piece and it’s a much needed shot in the arm (and might just make up for Detroiters going off the air) in terms of pure, concentrated silliness that is meticulously crafted and performed at the highest level.

The title is apt as every sketch acts in a way that prompts an exit for a character that they don’t take when they really should. The simple formula and Tim’s penchant for ridiculousness makes for one of our favorite shows thus far in 2019.

In fact, there’s only one issue: there’s nearly not enough of I Think You Should Leave.

Tuca and Bertie Trailer Shows a World That May Be Even Wilder Than BoJack Horseman

ali wong, lisa hanawalt, netflix, tiffany haddish, trailer, tuca and bertie

Considering Lisa Hanawalt was instrumental to the creation of BoJack Horseman, it had us curious what her own show Tuca & Bertie about two Odd Couple-ish bird ladies would sound/feel/look like and if it would, be at all, similar to BoJack.

Well, this full trailer shows a world that’s, if you can imagine, a little more “out there”, brimming with more vibrant colors, and, in total, a rollicking universe that’s all it’s own with the voices of Ali Wong and Tiffany Haddish leading the way.

See for yourself here, then look for episodes of Tuca & Bertie to start streaming on Netflix on Fri. May 3rd.

Mike Myers Is Getting His Own Show Where He’ll Play a Bunch of Characters on Netflix

Mike Myers Is Getting His Own Show Where He’ll Play a Bunch of Characters on Netflix

Honestly, this should have been a show a long time ago, no?

It’s nice to see that the vacuum of sketch comedy is filling up (and it seems like Netflix is leading a large part of it with this untitled Mike Myers characters show and the upcoming Tim Robinson series I Think You Should Leave.

There are very few details, but we’ll be curious if Dr. Evil, Wayne, Coffee Talk, etc. will make any sort of cameos here. We’ll just have to wait and see.

There’s a New Sketch Show in Town: I Think You Should Leave with Tim Robinson

i think you should leave, netflix, sketch comedy, tim robinson, trailer

Sketch comedy on TV has become a little scarce these days (too scarce if you ask us). IFC and SNL can’t remain being the only places that have it in 2019.

Thankfully, Tim Robinson (from the aforementioned SNL and the beloved, but far-too-short-lived Detroiters and many great, wild sketches over many years) is getting his own sketch show at Netflix, I Think You Should Leave with Tim Robinson.

This trailer shows that it intends to make a hell of a first impression and we can’t wait for I Think You Should Leave to premiere later this month on Tues., Apr. 23rd on Netflix to see what insanity Tim has up his sleeve.

Tuca and Bertie Releases Its First Teaser (and Shouts Out Equal Pay Day)

equal pay day, netflix, teaser, tuca and bertie

For so long, we’ve been so curious as to how Tuca and Bertie, the anthropomorphic animal Odd-Couple-ish dramedy from Lisa Hanawalt starring two birds voiced by Tiffany Haddish and Ali Wong, was going to be.

Well, wonder no more as the first teaser was just released today and cut specifically for Equal Pay Day (you know, the day pushing for gender equality in pay across the board).

There are definite BoJack Horseman elements to that can be seen here, but it seems as though Tuca and Bertie will be a little more hopeful (and a little stranger) than BoJack (where Hanawalt headed up Production Design and was an EP).

See for yourself here and mark down Friday, May 3rd for all episodes to stream on Netflix.

Here’s a First Look at Tiffany Haddish and Ali Wong as Tuca & Bertie from Lisa Hanawalt

ali wong, lisa hanawalt, netflix, tiffany haddish, tuca and bertie

One of the shows we were most excited for coming into 2019 is Tuca & Bertie, a sort of Odd-Couple-esque animated series starring two middle-aged birdwomen voiced by Tiffany Haddish and Ali Wong.

Well, the series premiere is just around the corner (all episodes start streaming on Friday, May 3rd on Netflix) and we we’re finally getting a first look into the show in this featurette that shows creator Lisa Hanawalt (who is getting upgraded from her gig at BoJack Horseman) and stars Haddish and Wong in the recording booth as well as them in their bird women form.

Somehow, we’re even more excited about Tuca & Bertie now.

Arrested Development Season 5 Part 2 Gets a Trailer

February 28, 2019

arrested development, netflix, season 5, trailer

Sure, there is season 5 part 2, but given Arrested Development’s insane trajectory as a television show (how the show has been made over the years is possibly as crazy as the actual storylines in the show), what will this end up meaning in the grand scheme of the show’s history? Arrested Development is so wonderfully meta and self-referential already, maybe these new episodes should be called “part deux”?

As we have not seen any of these upcoming episodes, we’re not sure exactly what’s going to happen, but we do know that, when all is said and done, watching Arrested Development in its entirety will probably break your brain (probably in a good way that is).

In any case, here’s a taste of what you are in store for starting Mar. 15th.

“Medical Police” at Netflix Will Be a Childrens Hospital Spiritual Sequel/Reunion/Etc.

February 20, 2019

“Medical Police” at Netflix Will Be a Childrens Hospital Spiritual Sequel/Reunion/Etc.

Rob Corddry, Jonathan Stern, David Wain, Erinn Hayes, Rob Huebel, Malin Akerman, Lake Bell, and Ken Marino once brought you the beautiful madness that was Childrens Hospital over at Adult Swim.

It looks like they’ll be up to their darkly comedic and absurdist shenanigans yet again with Netflix’s newly orderd series Medical Police, though, this time, it will be set at a children’s hospital in Brazil and include the threat of world ending virus. Also, they’ll be getting double the screen time with traditional 30 minute episodes.

So, for those holding your breath since Childrens Hospital went off the air in the hopes that it would live on somehow, you can stop (if you’re somehow still alive) because, we guess, it worked.

Big Mouth’s Valentine’s Special “My Furry Valentine” Is Now Streaming

February 8, 2019

big mouth, my furry valentine, netflix

Marked as the first episode of season 3, this very special Valentine’s episode (it’s also technically a double ep.) of Big Mouth is all the unabashed magic-realism-driven-blue-humor that you’ve come to, perhaps, secretly enjoy does a great job of covering almost every base for the holiday (as opposed to so many rom coms that fall short of the mark).

My Furry Valentine definitely satisfies that get a little existential or nihilistic on Valentine’s Day with several storylines, but also has enough sweetness for those who actually lean into the corporate created holiday about love.

In any case, Big Mouth Presents My Furry Valentine is now streaming at Netflix for you to enjoy a week before the actual Valentine’s Day as many folks, we guess, probably have other things lined up to do besides binge watching Netflix?

Larry Charles’ Dangerous World of Comedy To Explore Truly Risky Comedy Beyond Sacha Baron Cohen Hoodwinking Everyone

February 5, 2019

dangerous world of comedy, docu series, larry charles, netflix

Larry Charles, the frequent collaborator of Sacha Baron Cohen on such works as Borat and Bruno, is taking a break from pulling a fast one on everyone and taking a more exploratory, literal documentarian view with his latest project, Larry Charles’ Dangerous World of Comedy.

Charles has gone to places like Iraq, Somalia, Saudi Arabia, Nigeria, and Palestine where free speech isn’t quite what it is in America to see how comedy folks pull off, well, doing comedy over there. Also, from the looks of it, Larry will also explore “dangerous comedy” here in the States, which is it’s own breed of crazy.

It looks pretty fascinating and probably answers some questions that you might have been passively wondering (like “Can you and how do you do comedy in a repressive regime?”). Get a taste of it with this trailer, then look for the episodes to drop on Fri., Feb. 15th.

Big Mouth Valentine’s Day Special Will Be Coming to Netflix Feb. 8th

February 1, 2019

big mouth, netflix, valentime, valentine's day

The fine folks at Big Mouth will be delivering a Valentine’s Day special a week before Valentine’s, specifically Feb. 8th, called Big Mouth: My Furry Valentine.

As is the prerogative of the show, we’re sure it’s going to show you what Valentine’s is like for pre-teens, warts and all. Whether you love or hate the holiday, there should be something that hits close to home for how ridiculous that day is. Get a taste of it here.

Greg Daniels and Steve Carell Will Be Sending Up Trump’s “Space Force” in New Netflix Series

January 17, 2019

greg daniels, netflix, space force, steve carell

When the head moron in the White House announced the creation of a new “Space Force”, much of the world marveled at another revelation of how childish Trump really is.

Greg Daniels and Steve Carell will be sending up that very organization in a new Netflix series that was announced today simply titled Space Force.

No other details for the series exist at this time, but even if this puts a sort of Michael-Jim-Pam-Dwight dynamic in the setting of a Space Force Office, we’d probably be pretty OK with that. Another possibility might be more along the lines of a deep cut from Steve Martin’s filmography, Sgt. Bilko, a workplace comedy set on an Army base that specifically focused on fooling higher-ups that a hovering tank was both worked and was a good idea. It’s all speculation at this point unfortunately.

In any case, we’re excited that Carell will be working with Daniels on a comedy once again.

“Russian Doll” Trailer Promises a Darker, 2019 Update to Groundhog Day Starring Natasha Lyonne

January 9, 2019

amy poehler, leslye headland, natasha lyonne, netflix, russian doll, trailer

It took the rare talents of someone like Bill Murray to not only make Groundhog Day work, but be one of the most beloved comedies of all time.

Fortunately, we’re pretty sure that Natasha Lyonne is one of those talents as this trailer for the upcoming Netflix series Russian Doll (coming from Lyonne, Amy Poehler, and Leslye Headland), despite stepping into well worn comedic territory of reliving the same day over-and-over, is pretty enticing pretty much because of her.

See for yourself here, then mark Feb. 1st on your calendar for season 1 to begin streaming.

Those 47 Comedy Specials From Around the World Just Dropped on Netflix

January 1, 2019

comedians of the world, comedy specials, netflix, stand up

Though it has an overly generic name, Netflix’s international comedy event Comedians of the World is here. There are 47 new half hour comedy specials (mostly in English) for you to binge right now.

So far, we’ve only watched Nicole Byer’s and that’s a pretty great place to start. When we’re done with all of them, we’ll tell you which ones are worth catching.

‘End of the F—ing World’ Duo Chuck Forsman and Jonathan Entwhistle Will Be Doing Another Dark Coming of Age Comedy Adapted from a Graphic Novel

‘End of the F—ing World’ Duo Chuck Forsman and Jonathan Entwhistle Will Be Doing Another Dark Coming of Age Comedy Adapted from a Graphic Novel

The TV adaptation of Chuck Forsman’s End of the F**king World by Jonathan Entwhistle delighted Netflix viewers and critics alike at the top of 2017 (not to mention that the title and tone probably resonated with lots of people right after 2016).

So, Entwhistle will get to adapt another one of Forsman’s graphic novels I Am Not Okay With This that seems to be somewhat in the same ballpark: dark coming-of-age comedy, though, this time it’s focused on a girl getting mysterious super powers (possibly reminiscent of UK series The Misfits?).

So, if you’re really digging Entwhistle and Forsman together, you’ll be happy to know that you’re going to get a second season of End of the F**king World and a whole new show (as Netflix ordered 8 episodes) of I Am Not Okay With This.

Between Two Ferns With Zach Galifianakis Movie in the Works at Netflix

December 6, 2018

between two ferns, netflix, scott aukerman, zach galifianakis

Between Two Ferns With Zach Galifianakis Movie in the Works at Netflix

While the whole premise of Between Two Ferns is to invert the talk show format so far on its head that it’s essentially an anti-talk-show talk show. That idea along with Zach Galifianakis’ mastery of deadpan made for one of Funny or Die’s most popular ventures over the years.

There is no regular schedule for when one of these will be made and released, which has resulted in a sort of heightening how much their subverting a talk show (even to the point where they’ll have guests that subvert the whole artifice of Between Two Ferns itself).

So, with the prospect of an entire movie via Netflix already under way, we can only imagine that Zach and Scott Aukerman are going to get incredibly meta with this.

Netflix’s 47-Comedy-Specials-From-Around-The-World Event “Comedians of the World” to Happen on New Year’s Day

December 5, 2018

comedians of the world, comedy specials, netflix, stand up

Earlier this year, Netflix announced that they were going to do a simultaneous drop of over 30 comedy specials from comedians around the world.

Talk of when that would happen was vague, but, just yesterday, the streaming service giant announced that they’ve kicked up the number of specials to 47, will be doing it on New Year’s Day, probably when you have 48 spare hours of time to watch all of it, and are continuing their run on the most generic sounding name for their stand-up series by calling this “Comedians of the World” (the others being The Standups and The Comedy Lineup)

For the US, specials from Nicole Byer, Chris D’Elia, Neal Brennan, and Nick Swardson will be dropping. Here’s a peek of some of the other specials that are set to come on Jan. 1st, 2019.

So, like the globe being swallowed by the smiley face in this poster, prepare to be swallowed up by stand-up as soon as 2019 starts.

Watch Trailer for Ellen DeGeneres’ Long Awaited Next Stand-Up Special “Relatable”

December 4, 2018

ellen degeneres, netflix, relatable, stand up

It has been, as has been mentioned plenty in the lead up to this special, 15 years since Ellen DeGeneres’ last stand-up special. Within this trailer, it seems she is well aware of that fact and that she has risen up the ranks to being one of the biggest and longest running daytime talk show hosts, a place far from the rest of us.

Yet, her charm still seems to be well intact and this hour might be, of the comedy specials that Netflix has had with the biggest stars in comedy, may have the broadest appeal and success.

See for yourself in the trailer here, then look for it to start streaming on Netflix on Dec. 18th.

MST3K’s The Gauntlet, That’s Six Movies that Jonah and the Robots Have to Riff On, Is Now Streaming at Netflix

Whether you like your family or not this Thanksgiving, this new round of Mystery Science Theater 3000 will undoubtedly make today much better.

Again, “The Gauntlet” to be riffed on will include Mac and Me, Atlantic Rim, The Day Time Ended, Killer Fish, Ator the Fighting Eagle, Lords of the Deep and is enough to get you through all of today and probably Black Friday.

Big Mouth Renewed for Season 3 at Netflix

November 19, 2018

big mouth, netflix, renewed

Big Mouth Renewed for Season 3 at Netflix

We definitely think this is a no-brainer on Netflix’s part as season 2 definitely elevated the animated series on all fronts (as well as getting even more topping how blue it could get), but we’re curious how long Kroll and Goldberg will aim to have this explicit animated series about puberty go as Andrew, Nick, Jay, and Jessi can’t stay teens forever.

Still, we’ll definitely be looking forward to checking over our shoulder if someone is watching us watch that at a coffee shop.
