Crazy Ex-Girlfriend Season 3 to Be a “Funny Fatal Attraction”

Crazy Ex-Girlfriend Season 3 to Be a “Funny Fatal Attraction”

As has been the case since day 1 of Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, Rachel Bloom and Aline Brosh McKenna defy expectations at every turn and will do so yet again in the third season of their award winning CW series by focusing on Rebecca wanting to get revenge.

In fact, they’re going that direction to the point where they’re describing the season’s arc as the aforementioned “funny Fatal Attraction”. Maybe a Glenn Close cameo is on the horizon here?

We can’t wait to see what songs and dance numbers will compliment a darker edge to Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, especially if you know Bloom’s songs and music videos before she landed Crazy Ex-Girlfriend.

Rachel Bloom Makes a “Non-Emmy Campaign” Emmy Campaign Music Video

We’re pretty sure that if Rachel Bloom got to release her music videos in the heyday of TRL, she’d make into the top ten with probably every one of them.

Watch her latest music video that’s “not for your Emmy consideration” (but really is for Emmy voters).

Rachel Bloom’s Latest Music Video “Lady Boss” Examines the Hard Balancing Act of Being a Powerful Woman in the Workplace

crazy ex-girlfriend, feminism, lady boss, lean in, music video, rachel bloom, vanity fair, women in workplace

When it comes to breaking down tenets of feminism and how different waves of feminism might clash with each other, Crazy Ex-Girlfriend star Rachel Bloom is one of the few people on the planet that can package such a lesson into a very entertaining, uber clever song and accompanying music video.

We also have no doubt that Bloom just kicked up sales for Ruth Bader Ginsburg throw pillows.

Watch the music video for Lady Boss, done with Vanity Fair, here.

San Francisco Is Getting Another Big Comedy Festival This Year with Comedy Central’s Very First “Clusterfest”

At the beginning of the year, San Francisco always has one of the biggest comedy festivals in the world, SF Sketchfest.

Just announced today, SF will be getting another giant comedy festival in the summertime, specifically June 2nd-4th, brought to you by Comedy Central.

The first ever Clusterfest has a gigantic line-up of the sort proportions and depth that Comedy Central can summon. It’s also the flip of most big time music and arts festival in that it’s mostly comedy with a bit of music as opposed to there being a comedy tent and lots and lots and lots of music a la Bonnaroo, Outside Lands, etc. (Note: producers of both those festivals are involved here). See the line-up below or in this glitterbomb filled announcement video here.

Tickets/passes go on sale this Thursday, March 2nd here. They range from $199.50 earlybird pass-$599.50 VIP Pass.

Rachel Bloom Leads Off a Meta, Star Filled, We-Are-The-World Style Song “HOLY SH*T (You’ve Got to Go Vote)”

HOLY SH*T (You’ve Got To Vote) from Moby

Celebrities cursing seem to to be taking the place of them simply telling you to “rock the vote”. Maybe things are just that dire this election, maybe?

Crazy Ex-Girlfriend’s Rachel Bloom leads of a song that not only indulges in an expletive-laden ballad with the likes of Elizabeth Banks, Mony, Adam Scott, Adam Pally, Mayim Bialik, Melissa Rauch, Jane Lynch, Paul Scheer, Amber Rose, June Diane Raphael, Jesse Tyler Ferguson, Naya Rivera, and Ginger Gonzaga, but also makes fun of all those songs where celebrities come together to encourage the general public to take action for a good a cause.

Watch it here and, oh yeah, make sure you go vote.

Crazy Ex-Girlfriend Is Already Off to the Races with a Parody of Beyonce’s Lemonade and Reluctant Foreplay Anthem

October 24, 2016

beyonce, crazy ex-girlfriend, cw, josh chan, lemonade, love kernels, parody, rachel bloom, rebecca bunch, we definitely should not have sex right now

This past week, Crazy Ex-Girlfriend kicked off its second season and hit the ground running with the form that has won them awards right out of the gate in season one.

They’ve got a music video for Love Kernels that takes some surrealist cues from Beyonce’s Lemonade and sends them up exquisitely. Along with that, Josh and Rebecca sing a song that goes to all those bouts of foreplay that seem to needlessly beat around the bush, pun intended.

If they keep this up, they can definitely count on being a perennial awards season nominee.

Full Frontal, Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, Black-ish Win at 2016 TCA Awards

This weekend, the Television Critics’ Association handed out their annual round of awards for what they think the best and brightest in TV is. We’re not sure how much influence this will have on the Emmys (the same goes for any other TV awards for that matter), but we do hope this bodes well for the trailblazing Full Frontal with Samantha Bee.

Below are the comedy winners for the 2016 TCA Awards:

-Individual Achievement in Comedy: Rachel Bloom (CRAZY EX-GIRLFRIEND, The CW)
-Outstanding Achievement in News and Information: FULL FRONTAL WITH SAMANTHA BEE (TBS)

January 11, 2016

crazy ex-girlfriend, inside out, mozart in the jungle, rachel bloom, the cw, the golden globes, the martian

We guess a bunch of people might try signing up for Amazon Prime now?

Last night, The 2016 Golden Globes Awards were handed out and some of the winners in the comedy category definitely show how broad the Hollywood Foreign Press Association’s definition of comedy is. It ranges from something that fits the ‘comedy or musical’ requirement perfectly like Crazy Ex-Girlfriend to The Martian taking two Golden Globes as a comedy.

Here are the rest of the comedy Golden Globes winners:

Best Motion Picture-Musical or Comedy-“The Martian”
Best Performance by an Actress in a Motion Picture-Musical or Comedy-Jennifer Lawrence, “Joy”
Best Performance by an Actor in a Motion Picture-Musical or Comedy-Matt Damon, “The Martian”
Best Motion Picture-Animated-“Inside Out”
Best Television Series-Musical or Comedy-“Mozart in the Jungle”
Best Performance by an Actor in a Television Series-Musical or Comedy-Gael García Bernal, “Mozart in the Jungle”
Best Performance by an Actress in a Television Series-Musical or Comedy-Rachel Bloom, “Crazy Ex-Girlfriend”

Here’s the full list of winners.

Also, Rachel Bloom’s speech for her win for Crazy Ex-Girlfriend is pretty swell.

Transparent, Veep, Anomalisa, and Master of None Get Golden Globe Comedy Nominations as Well as Joy and The Martian

December 10, 2015

amy schumer, casual, crazy ex-girlfriend, hfpa, jason reitman, joy, master of none, nominees, rachel bloom, the big short, the golden globes, trainwreck, transparent, veep

The Hollywood Foreign Press Association continues to have a broader definition of comedy than anyone else during awards season.

There are your favorites as well as the favored upstarts in the field of this year’s Golden Globes nominees. The consistently praised Anomalisa and Master of None, heavy returning favorites Veep, Silicon Valley, and Transparent, comedy superstar Amy Schumer for Trainwreck, and brash newcomer Rachel Bloom for Crazy Ex-Girlfriend all got nominations from the Hollywood Foreign Press Association. There were even some noms for work that should be getting more love from more awards, but, somehow, isn’t. This includes Lily Tomlin’s turn in Grandma, Melissa McCarthy for Spy, and Hulu’s Casual from Jason Reitman.

With all of that said, films and shows that are being considered in different lights, mainly dramatic rather than comedic, have found their way into the comedy nominees, like they usually do, at The Golden Globes such as Joy, The Martian, The Big Short, and Orange Is the New Black. Certainly, Joy, The Martian, and The Big Short weren’t touting themselves as comedies in trailers and promotion and Orange Is the New Black has shifted to dramatic consideration with other awards. We’re not exactly sure why the distinction for comedy is so noticeably different with HFPA, but it does possibly allow for some notoriety for work that wouldn’t really get recognized otherwise.

So, here are the comedy nominees for this year’s Golden Globes.

Best Motion Picture – Comedy Or Musical
Joy
Spy
The Big Short
The Martian
Trainwreck

Best Screenplay
The Big Short-Adam McKay, Charles Randolph

Best Performance by an Actress in a Motion Picture – Comedy Or Musical

“Crazy Ex-Girlfriend” Gets 5 More Episodes on the Back End at The CW

November 23, 2015

crazy ex-girlfriend, rachel bloom, the cw

See? Having a genre defying, dark romantic musical comedy TV series isn’t so crazy.

The first season of Crazy Ex-Girlfriend is going to feel more like a full-fledged TV season with five extra episodes having been ordered at The CW.

Hopefully, this will lead to a renewal pretty soon and keep CW’s comedy streak along with Jane The Virgin going.

“Crazy Ex-Girlfriend” and Season Two of “Jane The Virgin” Premiere Tonight

October 12, 2015

More and more barriers are getting broken down with every new comedy that steps up to the plate of television. Jane The Virgin, which got plenty of critical acclaim in its first season and the full-on musical, and edgy romantic comedy Crazy Ex-Girlfriend represent The CW’s new intriguing block of this sort of comedy on Monday nights.

Also, they’re running an hour long each tonight just in case you were worried you weren’t going to get enough.

The CW Orders Additional Scripts for First Season of “Crazy Ex-Girlfriend” Before Premiere

October 5, 2015

crazy ex-girlfriend, cw, rachel bloom

We hope this means that the CW knows something great that the rest of us don’t.

While it’s been quite the journey for Crazy Ex-Girlfriend starring Rachel Bloom, the show seems to be set for a great start at the CW. It’s set to premiere next week on Oct. 12th and already has scripts ordered from the network for a fuller first season.

With this doubling down already, the edgy romantic comedy musical series, which has been a been difficult for other networks to apparently wrap their head around, has something good going before it even hits screens everywhere.
