TCB Debriefing 9/26/23: WGA Strike Ends, Rick & Morty S7, Dr. Strangelove Live, The Office, Relax, I’m From the Future Moonlighting, Brad Wenzel
*before we begin, WordPress is a dinosaur and, as such, we apologize for the massive amount of “dust” in trying to make some fixes to such an old hunk of junk.
1. WGA votes to ratify interim agreement and rescind strike order. This has the return of late night, including the Jimmys, Stephen, Seth, and John as well as SNL, set in motion for the next month or so. More importantly, that means Greg Gutfeld will no longer be #1 on late night anymore.
2. Here’s your official gander at Rick and Morty season 7 with the kickoff set for Oct. 15th. Not sure if Arm Rick will be as popular as Pickle Rick, but we didn’t think that Schezuan sauce debacle would actually get out of hand as much as it did (as well as hearing the new voices of Rick & Morty because of Justin Roiland…, well, you know by now).
3. Um, Steve Coogan will star in an Armando Iannucci/Sean Foley live stage adaptation of Dr. Strangelove that is set for an Oct-Dec. run in London’s Noel Coward Theatre (Deadline). Honestly, this is kind of worth the airfare, hotel, and ticket.
4. Apparently, there is a reboot of the U.S. version of The Office in the works (Collider). Something tells us if we let this reboot fly, we’re going to have another decade of reboots. Please go watch originals.
5. Speaking of originals, Rhys Darby continues to be a one-of-a-kind with the full length feature adaptation of the critically acclaimed time travel comedy short, Relax I’m from the Future. Take a gander here, then look for it in limited release right now.
6. One of Bruce Willis‘ crowning achievements in his very long, decorated career is one of his earliest, Moonlighting, co-starring a paragon of her time, Cybill Shepherd. You’ll be able to see why soon as the entire series will be on Hulu as of Oct. 10th (Indiewire).
7. One of the best one liner comedians/artisanal joke tellers out there today is Brad Wenzel. He’s currently on the road and you really ought to go see him live. After all, you have to be a very special Brad in comedy to have the URL bradcomedy.com (where you’d go get tickets to go see at these shows).
8. We’ll leave you with this: Seriously, we’re working on a better TCB for all of you (and us too because updating everything has been a nightmare for a long time). Once more, please pardon our dust.
