Get Your First Look at S3 of What We Do In The Shadows (as Nandor Tries VR)
July 20, 2021
News
first look, fx, season 3, teaser, what we do in the shadows

One of the most heralded comedies (that is so glaringly absent from the field of this year’s Emmy nominees on a technicality) in recent memory, What We Do In The Shadows is set to return very soon (though not soon enough if you ask us).

The master vampires of Staten Island return with their increasingly mysterious familiar Guillermo for their third season on Thurs. Sept. 2nd on FX (and next day on Hulu). That is indeed weeks away, but at least we have this very first teaser to look at (and just hope that there are more to come like there have been in the past two seasons).

Funny enough, this first look is also a first look for Nandor as he ventures to try a VR headset for the first time. Enjoy this as much as you can over the next month and change.

Get a Taste of Season 4 of FXx’s Curated Short Form Series “Cake”
March 8, 2021
News
cake, fx, fx on hulu, fxx, season 4, teaser

The first three rounds of FX’s Cake brought several slices of a wildly multi-layered, multi-flavored “cake” featuring live-action, animation, musical comedy, etc. from all round the world.

They’re thankfully doing another round of it and that will be served up shortly on Thurs. Mar. 11th in fact. Apparently, it will be premiering on FXx, but it’s very likely that you’ll just stream it on Hulu the next day (when it’s available for streaming).

There’s a bit of teaser that just gives a little dollop’s worth of what’s to come. If you need a break from reality (and we’re guessing that you do), this new season of Cake might be just what you need.

Watch the teaser for season 4 of Cake here.

Black Mirror Creator Charlie Brooker Is Making a Netflix Mockumentary Comedy Special, “Death to 2020”
December 7, 2020
News

Without question, 2020 has been one of the worst years that anyone alive has been living. It will very likely be the worst year that many of us (who have many years of living ahead of them) will have lived through in our lifetime. COVID-19, Trump, climate change, and the uprisings from systemic/racial/misogynistic/classist/transphobic oppression have made 2020 a terribly tragic year on a historic level.

With that in mind, master of dystopia Charlie Brooker, creator of Black Mirror, is going to do a very special mockumentary style comedy special dedicated to how especially awful this year has been. Brooker is very aptly calling it Death to 2020.

Outside of it being a mockumentary Netflix “comedy event” and the cast including Samuel L. Jackson, Hugh Grant, Lisa Kudrow, Tracey Ullman, Leslie Jones, Diane Morgan, Cristin Milioti, and Joe Keery, there’s not very many other details to be had at this time as you can see in this teaser here.

As far as 2020 goes, it makes total sense that someone who is responsible for giving you nightmares about robotic dogs hunting humans to extinction would be doing a comedy special about this year.

 

Here’s an Insane Teaser (as You’d Expect) for Season 5 of The Eric Andre Show
October 1, 2020
News
adult swim, eric andre, season 5, teaser, the eric andre show

The Eric Andre Show has long been a wild break from this plane of reality and certainly a twisted-fun-house-of-mirrors reflection of the world of late night. With each of his four seasons at Adult Swim, Eric has managed to up the ante from past episodes while refining his grasp on controlled chaos (i.e. being a little more aware of how to get arrested less during sketches).

This fifth season looks to keep up the absurdist, dadaist vibe going strong, but, this time around, as it is 2020, the world seems actually more crazy than the world of the show. With that in mind, it would still be a nice break from the sort of lives we’re all afforded in quarantine.

See for yourself  with this teaser for season 5 of The Eric Andre Show here, then look for the season premiere on Sun. Oct. 25th at midnight.

Woke, the TV Series Based on Artist Keith Knight, Gets Its First Teaser
July 10, 2020
News
hulu, keith knight, teaser, woke

The journey of Keith Knight, a noted political cartoonist, to where he is today with his work was already pretty timely before 2020. Yet, it’s even more timely than ever as there does seem to be a worldwide awakening that’s here to stay to how deep and embedded divisions between race really are.

So, Hulu has a series following that very journey with Woke. It, of course, follows a black cartoonist who gets “woke”/radicalized after being racially profiled by the police. As it’s focused on an animator, reality does get bent in more ways than one and there are echoes of the sort of magical realism of Sorry To Bother You. Starring Lamorne Morris as Keef, this series seems to reckon with everything that’s in upheaval right now (except for COVID-19).

See a bit of Woke for yourself here, then look for all episodes to begin streaming on Sept. 9th.

Justin Roiland’s Latest Series “Solar Opposites” Gets a Teaser

hulu, justin roiland, solar opposites, teaser

While you’re waiting for new episodes of Rick & Morty, well, actually, while you’re waiting for a lot of stuff to get back to the way they were, it’s nice to know that Rick & Morty co-creator Justin Roiland has a new animated series on the way, Solar Opposites, coming to Hulu.

In fact, Solar Opposites doesn’t seem to be all that far off from Rick & Morty (maybe living in one of the other universes within the Rick & Morty-verse). It follows an alien family trying they best they can to acclimatize to earth, but, of course, dealing with all the sorts of chaos Roiland has founded his entire career on. Intergalactic warfare, zombie outbreaks, a plethora of jauntily named fictional creatures, and plenty of family squabbling are all part of this new show.

See all of that and enjoy the teaser here, then look for the series premiere of Solar Opposites on Hulu, starting May 8th (even though we’ll probably be let out of our houses at that point).

If the intriguing short form streaming service Quibi indeed gets to launch next month as planned, we’ll all get to see the return of Reno 911, the beloved parody of long running docu-series Cops.

Looks like the whole cast is back in action and their dynamic is picking up right where they left off. See for yourself in this sneak peek here.

As it stands right now, the current launch date for Quibi is April 6th, but, as with everything right now, that is subject to change.

Here Are Some Delicious Teasers for What We Do In the Shadows Season 2

fx, season 2, teaser, what we do in the shadows

Season 1 of What We Do In the Shadows managed to expertly pull off both adapting the beloved movie of the same name from Taika Waititi and Jemaine Clement into a TV show, staying faithful to the look and tone as well as introduce a new facet of the “grounded” vampire universe with a whole new cast of new characters.

Truly, one of the best things we saw last year.

Season 2 is right around the corner as you can see in these teasers and, thankfully, it’ll be one thing (probably) that won’t get postponed. Look for season 2 of What We Do In the Shadows to premiere on Wed. Apr. 15th on FX.

Not much is given away in this teaser for Run, a sort of mystery thriller/rom com. Yet, it feels like so many subtle hints are actually given by the looks and brief lines shared by Domnhall Gleeson and Merritt Wever. Also, the glimpse of the titular inciting incident kind of has us hooked as well.

Additionally, being in the hands of a wondrous duo behind the beloved Fleabag, Phoebe Waller-Bridge and frequent collaborator Vicky Jones, has our mind racing as to what sort of satisfyingly risky and unforeseen territory this series will take us.

Guess we’ll have to find out on the series premiere, Sun. Apr. 12th 10:30PM on HBO. For now, you can just enjoy this teaser for HBO’s Run.

Armando Iannuci’s Latest Series “Avenue 5″ Gets a Teaser and You Can Behold Hugh Laurie at the Head of a Space Cruise

Uncategorized
armando iannucci, avenue 5, hbo, hugh laurie, teaser

Up until very recently, Armando Iannucci pretty much wheeled and dealed in devastatingly funny political satire with In The Loop, Veep, The Thick of It, Death of Stalin.

This latest HBO series sees one of most brilliant comedic voices of our time take on something more in the realm of sci-fi. Avenue 5 follows a space cruise (kind of like the one in the Fifth Element) for the ultra-wealthy and how things, of course, go awry. Also, Hugh Laurie gets to be a series regular again as well as the apparent head of this space cruise named Avenue 5. Thus far, we’re on board for whatever this will end up being.

See for yourself in this teaser, then be thankful you only have to wait until January to see the premiere.

Joe Pera Talks With You easily one was of the best shows last year for its warmth, originality, and genuine unique humor that came from such an undeniably sweet place. It’s somehow so damn funny and soothing at the same time.

This little teaser means that season 2 of Joe Pera Talks With You is just around the corner, Fri., Dec. 6th at midnight specifically, and we can’t wait.

The sixth and final season of Silicon Valley is just around the corner, which leads HBO to close out another long-lasting, perennial award winning comedy that’s as relevant and resonant as it is funny.

From the looks of this teaser where things seems like they’re all about to come crashing down, it’s going to be a glorious swan song for Silicon Valley.

Look for the premiere of the sixth and final season of Silicon Valley on Oct. 27th at HBO.

Dave Chappelle’s “Sticks and Stones” Gets Announced by Morgan Freeman
August 15, 2019
Uncategorized
dave chappelle, morgan freeman, netflix, sticks and stones, teaser

Well, the fifth Netflix special, Sticks & Stones, from Dave Chappelle (also making it the fifth special since his long hiatus) is coming later this month. 

Whoever was there for the taping definitely knows what to expect. For the rest of us, it’s hard to say as Dave plays things pretty close to the chest these days (more so than almost any other comedian probably), often announcing shows on the day of at very intimate venues and being an industry leader of those Yondr bags. Also, that last special at The Comedy Store’s Belly Room seemed more impromptu than a crafted hour. 

So, this latest hour, to most of us right now, could be any number of things. We suppose that might be all part of Dave’s plan, a way to keep his mythos of being this living, breathing icon in comedy going. 

No matter what your feelings of those four previous Netflix specials are (and lots of folks have mixed feelings about them), it’s very likely that we will all watch it because Dave indeed is still that aforementioned comedy icon.

Certainly, this teaser doesn’t tip off too much other than Dave is going to speak his mind as announced by none other than Morgan Freeman. We’ll just have to wait and see what’s going to happen on Aug. 26th when Sticks & Stones drops.

See Taika Waititi as an Imaginary Hitler in First Teaser for “JoJo Rabbit”

jojo rabbit, taika waititi, teaser

Taika Waititi has built up such a lovely resume with everything from What We Do In the Shadows to Hunt for the Wilderpeople to Thor: Ragnarok that he can really swing big, which is what he seems to be doing with his latest, JoJo Rabbit.

JoJo Rabbit follows a timid young child in Nazi Germany that ends up having an imaginary friend in the visage of Adolf Hitler, albeit a goofy one played by Taika. The premise has the titular JoJo reckon with himself as he finds his mother is hiding a Jewish girl. Billed as an “anti-hate satire” (perhaps the first time that’s ever been a phrase?), Waititi continues to have our interest peaked here. The tone and satirical walking-the-line seems like anything else we’ve seen before just from this teaser (we can only imagine what lies ahead with a full trailer).

See for yourself here with the just released teaser, then look for JoJo Rabbit in theaters on Oct. 18th.

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.

Without spoiling anything, the critically acclaimed first season of Barry left on a pretty big cliffhanger. The teaser for season 2 manages you to leave you hooked with more questions than that cliffhanger (like a good teaser/trailer should).

So, without saying anything further, see for yourself in the teaser for what’s probably your current favorite hitman dramedy here. Look for season 2 to premiere sometime this Spring on HBO.

As a comedy horror series, Stan Against Evil is already at certain level of funhouse chaos, especially having had two seasons under its belt.

Sacha Baron Cohen Teases His New Undercover Interview Show “Who Is America?” Coming to Showtime
July 9, 2018
Uncategorized
sacha baron cohen, showtime, teaser, who is america

Well, it turns out that Sacha Baron Cohen had gone deep into character yet again over the last year to shoot his latest show, but done so in a way that is being touted as “undercover”.

We’re guessing that being undercover is the only way he’d get to talk to Dick Cheney as shown in this teaser and tweet (in which Cheney apparently signs a “waterboard kit”). You’ll notice that Cohen has donned yet another voice, though we’re not quite sure what ridiculous get up he’s in this time and what satirical angle he’s playing.

What we do know is that the show is called Who Is America? and is going for a rather short season and it will actually be premiering on Showtime this Sunday, July 15th at 10PM. We’re guessing there will be some satire of Trump, though we’re curious to see if Cohen will bring something else that we haven’t seen yet from the mountains of content that has been made parodying the Trump Administration.

We’ll all have to wait and see this weekend.

HBO’s animated series Animals will be returning for its 3rd season and it sure looks like, according to this teaser, the animals are even less domesticated than you might have seen in previous seasons. Even though they’re rats, cats, horses, lizards, etc., it still seems pretty with the zeitgeist.

Also, you might enjoy knowing that the voices of Aisha Tyler, Cheri Oteri, Edie Falco, Demi Moore, Tracy Morgan, John Leguizamo will be taking part in this new season.

Season 3 of Animals premieres Friday, August 3 at 11:30PM on HBO.

This Sunday, May 27th, Michelle Wolf will kick off her weekly late night series The Break with Michelle Wolf on Netflix complete with monologue, remote segments, bits, and an ultra fancy desk (in fact, it’s nicer than most late night talk talk show desks).

Of course, this is the second phase of Michelle Wolf dominating 2018 as she is just coming off of her spot on roast at the White House Correspondents Dinner. Also, we have a feeling that is the start of Netflix figuring out late night as they also have a weekly Hasan Minhaj show on deck too. We will all have to wait and see how true that notion is.

In the meantime, you can watch a teaser trailer for The Break with Michelle Wolf here.
