Please Get and Enjoy Chris Fairbanks’ New Hour Special “Rescue Cactus”
June 22, 2020
News
chris fairbanks, comedy special, now streaming, stand up

Throughout all of our years of watching live comedy (or comedy in general), few are as mastered at being purely silly as Chris Fairbanks. The dedication and care that Fairbanks puts into his wonderfully ridiculous bits are evident in how intricate his comedy can get and we’ve enjoyed the dozens and dozens of times that we’ve seen all of that up close. Whether it be acrobatic level word play or outright tomfool observations, Fairbanks has always delivered on every stage.

Capturing Chris’ joyful lightning in a bottle and releasing in some form or another hasn’t in some time, but thankfully, there’s this brand new hour special, Rescue Cactus just released today. It’s a marvelous collection of the sort of high flying absurdity that Chris couples with his animated, yet slightly grounded delivery. It’s the sort of contrast that heightens the comedy in such a superb way (even the pre-taped, staged opening embodies this notion).

Simply put, if you need a big dose of silly, get and enjoy Chris Fairbanks’ Rescue Cactus now.

Both Seasons of Wyatt Cenac’s Problem Areas Are Now Streaming on YouTube for Free
June 3, 2020

hbo, now streaming, problem areas, wyatt cenac

Two years ago, Wyatt Cenac embarked on two seasons of his own pointedly, socially conscious series Problem Areas at HBO. Cenac made the show decidedly different from many other socio-political, topical comedy shows from focusing on actually going out into the street, talking to several different people on both sides of many crucial issues involving race, class, immigration, labor, power structures, etc., and actually trying to figure a solution of some sort from all those conversations.

If you’re looking for a voice to amplify and hear and see messages that you should be seeing and hearing, go ahead and give Problem Areas a binge watch. HBO was nice enough to put all two episodes on YouTube, free of their pay wall, for you to stream.

So, go get into Problem Areas here.

community, hulu, netflix, now streaming, where to watch

(via Variety)

Due to the notion of self-distancing and, in general, staying home in these weird times, we have no doubt that you’re indulging every show and movie that you ever thought about watching/rewatching.

So, now is about as good a time as ever to find out that the landmark sitcom Community created by Dan Harmon will not only be on one streaming service, but, due to a nifty deal that Sony Pictures TV struck, be available on both Hulu and Netflix. The series is already on Hulu and will begin streaming on Netflix on Apr. 1st.

There are six seasons to watch and maybe this will lead to #sixseasonsandamovie becoming a reality.

Almost two weeks ago, we mentioned how Ahamed Weinberg and Steven Feinartz’s Please Understand Me, one of our favorite series from 2018, will have new episodes coming soon.

Well, ‘soon’ is finally here, which means more comedians playing out fictitious relationships in order to test the stalwart patience of real life therapists.

The Feels Is Now Streaming on Netflix

The Feels was unquestionably one of our favorite movies of the year (and probably one that you didn’t get much of a chance to see in theaters). 

You can read why we felt that way here. In short, it’s wonderfully hopeful romantic comedy set in a future that we could hopefully get to.

Thankfully, it’s now on Netflix for your streaming convenience and definitely should be part of your binge watching line-up this 4th of July.

Steve Martin and Martin Short’s An Evening You Will Forget For the Rest of Your Life Makes Busting Balls a Classy Affair

An Evening You Will Forget For The Rest Of Your Life, jeff babko, jiminy glick, martin short, now streaming, steep canyon rangers, steve martin

For an hour special of Steve Martin and Martin Short together, you’d expect roast jokes of celebrities, splashes of absurdity, Jiminy Glick, an air of distinction (only to be undercut by something abject silliness), musical numbers, and, of course, bluegrass.

An Evening You Will Forget For The Rest of Your Life, the comedy special from Martin and Short now streaming on Netflix delivers on those expectations, but also highlights the friendship between the two comedy titans. Busting chops, balls, etc. between comedians has been a long held practice and form of bonding and here, in this special, Steve and Martin do the snazziest version of that. In fact, the opening of the special is purely them taking turns explicitly throwing shade at each other tit-for-tat.

As far as we can recall, this might be one of the classiest showcases of one-upsmanship in comedy and a great reminder of why Steve Martin and Martin Short have been held in such high esteem for decades.

You can see it all for yourself as An Evening You Will Forget For The Rest of Your Life is now streaming on Netflix.

Moshe Kasher and Natasha Leggero might now be the comedy power couple to be. 

Not only do you get to enjoy their sharpened comedic perspectives on love, marriage, and parenting in their own individual half-hour specials, but you can see the strength in their bond when they’re both on stage. The way they roast other couples when going into their relationships is not only very fun, but complimentary to each other in a way that you know they’re pretty much perfect together.

The Honeymoon Stand Up Special is, as mentioned above, now streaming on Netflix, so you should enjoy and watch it ASAP.

Transparent, it can be argued, is the dramedy that put Amazon in contention with streaming giants Netflix and Hulu. Sure, Catastrophe and Fleabag have done wonders for Amazon Studios as well, but Jill Soloway’s series put them immediately in awards contention. 

So, one of Amazon’s flagship series sails forth into streaming their fourth season today and looks like it’ll keep going for as long as the show wants.

If you were to imagine a few years ago whether a dark, dramatic animated comedy about a former sitcom star horse dealing with his own existential crises would not only make it through 4 seasons, but be one of the more celebrated animated comedies on television, you might have had second thoughts.

Yet, season 4 of BoJack Horseman has arrived today as one of the more anticipated blocks of television from Netflix this year. All episodes are now streaming.

Here are two little nibbles from the new season if you need a taste (or somehow don’t have access to a Netflix account).

With Homecoming King as a special, Hasan Minhaj offers up an hour that’s equal parts heartfelt, innovative, clever, crucially relevant, slick, and expertly executed.

Along with killing it in hosting the WHCD this year, we wouldn’t be surprised if he ends up getting his own show very soon.
