In the search for a way to safely celebrate and somewhat adequately celebrate Halloween, might we suggest a special virtual adaptation of one of the most renowned cult films of all time, Plan 9 From Outer Space.

The amazing Dana Gould will be at the helm for this special live-stream event presented by, as they’re foregoing an in-person festival when they would normally have it in January, SF Sketchfest. Gould has led live-reads of Plan 9 From Outerspace over the years, but this edition will be special as there will be an original cast member, a real prop flying saucer which was used on set in Ed Wood’s shoot as well as a cast chock full of stars including Maria Bamford, Bobcat Goldthwait, Jean Grae, David Koechner, Tim Meadows, Laraine Newman, Oscar Nunez, Bob Odenkirk, Jonah Ray, Paul F. Tompkins, Janet Varney, Baron Vaughn, Kat Aagesen, plus musical accompaniment by Eban Schletter.

This very special edition of Plan 9 From Outer Space is set for Thurs. Oct. 29th at 6PM PT/9PM ET. Tickets are $10 and you can (and very much should) get them here.

Please Enjoy Trailer for Paula Pell and John Lutz’s Mystery Comedy “Mapleworth Murders”

Quibi really did snatch up quite a bit of content when amassing their war chest before their launch a few months ago. Even though so many folks that opted in for a free trial didn’t stick around after said free trial ended, Quibi can still stand tall with some recent Emmy nominations and still having shows up their sleeve that might just catch your eye once they roll them out.

One of those series is coming very soon, Mon. Aug. 10th in fact, from Paula Pell and John Lutz called Mapleworth Murders. From the trailer, the series not only trails murderers in a humble, sleepy town, but also calls into question why (as with so many similar mystery/crime shows) have so many murderers in one place. Mapleworth Murders boasts quite the ensemble cast with Maya Rudolph, Fred Armisen, D’Arcy Carden, Tim Meadows, Patton Oswalt, Jack McBrayer, Pam Murphy, Ben Warheit, Annie Mumolo, Ike Barinholtz, Marry Holland, James Anderson, and Drew Tarver.

Whether or not you’ve got or still have Quibi, you can certainly enjoy Pell and Lutz’s joyful send-up of Murder She Wrote with its official trailer here.

Watch “Son of Zorn” Cast and Creators Explain the Show (and Go Off the Rails Doing So) Before Tonight’s Special Preview

Tonight, the live-action-animation hybrid Son of Zorn will follow a NFL doubleheader on Fox around 8PM and give you a taste of what the clashing of mythical and magical Zephyrian universe and the suburbs of Orange County is like.

Before that, you should really watch the creators and cast of Son of Zorn in a panel discussion of the series for this season. It not only gives a better sense of how the show works, but the panel really got fun, silly, and loose.

Again, the special preview of Son of Zorn is scheduled for 8PM on Fox, with exception to overtime during the NFL doubleheader.

Tween Fest Series Trailer – watch more funny videos

Awhile ago, writers Nick Ciarelli and Brad Evans made a great themed sketch show called Death Valley Tween Fest that was basically a Coachella just for millennials that got out of hand.

With the go90 app needing content that will draw you to watch, Nick and Brad along with director Scott Gairdner got a chance to adapt that show into an actual series, Tween Fest, starring Drew Tarver, John Michael Higgins, Joey King, Arden Cho, and Lou Wilson with Jane Lynch, David Koechner, Tim Meadows, and Chris Parnell featuring.

From the looks of the trailer, it looks like the satirical poke at millennials and the baby boomers profiting off of them will be pretty good as well.

Look for Tween Fest to debut on go90 on August 3rd.

Fox Unveils Trailers for “Son of Zorn”, “Making History”, and “The Mick”

It looks like Phil Lord and Chris Miller are really rubbing off on Fox in the best way possible.

Two of the new comedies that were announced at Fox’s Upfronts presentation have Lord and Miller’s hands involved and those just happen to be two very enticing high concept comedies.

One, Son of Zorn, puts an animated He-Man type, voiced by Jason Sudeikis, into the 9-5 grind in the real world with Johnny Pemberton as a son, Cheryl Hines as an ex-wife, Tim Meadows as the ex-wife’s fiance, and Artemis Pebdani as his boss. Here’s the trailer.

The other involves Adam Pally as someone who has a time machine and has abused it. Thus, he enlists an accomplished history professor played by Yassir Lester to fix something he might have screwed up in the American Revolution. Here’s the trailer for Making History.

Both make Fox’s live action comedy line-up have a certain high concept sheen already laid out by Last Man on Earth and Brooklyn Nine-Nine.

To round out the new series, Fox has a show that is basically a Sweet Dee from It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia standalone series. See for yourself in the trailer for The Mick starring Sweet Dee herself, Kaitlin Olson.

All in all, Fox has a lot of promise with this trio.

Jason Sudeikis, Cheryl Hines, Tim Meadows, and More Join Johnny Pemberton for “Son of Zorn”

The live action/animated hybrid series from Chris Miller and Phil Lord has quite the cast.

It was already exciting hearing about Miller and Lord developing their next high concept comedy at Fox involving an animated “fantasy warrior” dad dealing with home life, especially his son played by Pemberton.

Now, it’s even more exciting to hear that Jason Sudeikis, Cheryl Hines, Tim Meadows, and Artemis Pedbani have all attached themselves to the project, Son of Zorn. 

At this point, we can only hope this gets picked up to series just so we can see what Miller and Lord have cooked up that we’re guessing is somewhere between Clone High and Last Man on Earth.

Kristen Wiig and Haley Joel Osment Return and Maya Rudolph and More Join “The Spoils Before Dying”

Not that we had any doubts, but it looks the next installment of IFC’s Spoils mini-series franchise, The Spoils Before Dying, could be just as epically overwrought featuring one heck of a cast.

Already, they have Michael K. Williams starring and now, they have Kristen Wiig, Haley Joel Osment, Michael Sheen, Val Kilmer, Steve Tom, and Marc Evan Jackson returning from The Spoils of Babylon as well as new cast members including Kate McKinnon, Tim Meadows, Chris Parnell, Emily Ratajkowski, Andy Daly, Chris Mulkey, Chin Han, Jack Kilmer, Patty Guggenheim, and Bérénice Marlohe.

So, just imagine all of this cast in a noir-ish murder mystery that follows a jazz piano player, but does so according to the words of Eric Jonrosh (Will Ferrell in a beard, fedora, and fat suit).
