Kidnapping gone wrong hasn’t looked this fun in quite some time.
Of course, the added element of ‘kidnapping/abduction fantasy’ in the upcoming film Take Me gives a fresh twist to a well worn plot device.
Thus, star and director Pat Healy, co-star Taylor Schilling, and writer Mike Makowsky offer up what’s to be a rollicking dark comedy.
See for yourself in this trailer, then look for its release on Friday, May 5th.
Intercontinental romantic comedy has never been fully realized, warts and all, quite like Sharon Horgan and Rob Delaney’s Catastrophe, which is why it’s a critically acclaimed series on both sides of the pond for over two seasons.
The third season, having had its run in the UK, is now set to start streaming here in the U.S. on Amazon Prime on Friday, April 28th.
Get a lovely preview with this U.S. trailer here.
From the looks of it, Master of None might be remembered both as a great comedy series as well as one of the most cinematic and gorgeous television shows to have ever been made.

With a new lease on life on Comedy Central, The Gorburger Show is looking to go for broke for how crazy the blue demon-hosted late night talk show will be.
This trailer shows just insane it’s going to get with TJ Miller voicing the titular Gorburger and having his big time guests, which does indeed include the likes of Larry King and Kenny G, deal with Gorburger wishes.
Look for the series premiere of The Gorburger Show with TJ Miller on Sunday, April 9th at midnight on Comedy Central.
Give a watch to the trailer to David Michôd’s latest War Machine that follows a well-meaning general trying to make sense of what the U.S. was doing remaining in Afghanistan. Of course, anything dealing with foreign policy is relevant these days, but we’re getting a sense of deliciously wry satire in this film.
We know this might a stretch, but may this, mostly because of Brad Pitt starring in the lead role of a geopolitical dark comedy, be a spiritual sequel of sorts to Burn After Reading?
War Machine starts streaming on Netflix on Friday, May 26th, 2017.
The times, they are a changin’.
It’s been more than a year since Louis C.K.’s last special, he’s doing a special that’s releasing on Netflix first rather than on LouisCK.net, and he’s in a fancy pin striped suit.
Still, the trailer for Louis C.K. 2017 gives vibes of his FX series, Louie, which we’re glad to see.
Also, be glad that you’ll get to see this special next week when it starts streaming on Netflix on Tuesday, April 4th.
Comedy Central’s The Comedy Jam (previously known as The Goddamn Comedy Jam) really went for the moon in having comedy folks jam out to a song that means a lot to them.

Then, look for the series premiere next week on March 22nd on Comedy Central.
After all these years, not one, but two Dave Chappelle specials are just one week away.
Shot in LA and Austin in 2016 and 2015 respectively, these specials have been tucked away for a minute, which leads up to believe that Dave could cue another special, probably, soon if he wanted to.
See Chappelle return to the mic for two specials in this trailer just released today.
Both specials start streaming on Netflix on Tuesday, March 21st.
While the tables have turned with Veep seeming less crazy than what is actually happening with The White House these days, Veep still seems every bit of the prestige comedy series coming towards its 6th season.
See for yourself in the newly released trailer.
Season 6 of Veep premieres on Sunday, April 16 at 10:30PM on HBO.
Guy Branum’s competitive talk show, Talk Show the Game Show, is going to be a full-fledged TV series on TruTV next month.
For the uninitiated, Guy created a brilliant show format where guests have to compete to be the most interesting talk show guest, complete with a panel of judges. It’s been one of our favorite things to see in LA for years.
Going from live show to TV show, Talk Show the Game Show is now being kicked into high gear with more exciting bells and whistles as shown in this trailer.

The latest work from the singular Joe Swanberg is a film co-written by Jake Johnson and himself called Win It All.
The trailer promises a caper with a guy who just can’t stop making impulsive, bad decisions that just happens to come into possession of money that isn’t his. Keegan-Michael Key, Joe Lo Truglio, and Aislinn Derbez round out the cast for what might be both a charming comedy and one of Swanberg’s most plot-driven works to date.
Watch the trailer for Win It All here then look for it on Netflix on Friday, April 7th.
The lengths and depths of humanity that Forest MacNeil (Andy Daly) has been subjected to while doing two seasons of Review are beyond comprehension.
Yet, this trailer reveals a third and final season that somehow gets Forrest to go through the gauntlet yet again and put his life and the lives of others in plenty of danger for the sake of reviewing the “human experience”.
It is one of the best shows that Comedy Central has ever made.
See for yourself in this trailer and then look for the season 3 premiere of Review next week on Thursday, March 16th.

In the grand tradition of doing a stand up comedy special in a leather outfit, Amy Schumer decided to check off that box with her upcoming Netflix special. In fact, she went as far as calling it The Leather Special and does indeed went awesomely old with her outfit. See for yourself in the trailer above.
The 3rd season of Sharon Horgan and Rob Delaney’s wondrous, brutally honest romantic comedy Catastrophe is about to premiere in the UK on Channel 4.
That, however, does means we have to wait a little while longer before it makes it way stateside and streams on Amazon.
In the meantime, you can enjoy this trailer.
Sure, the voices of Jason Schwartzman, Lena Dunham, Reggie Watts, Maya Rudolph, Susan Sarandon, Alex Karpovsky and John Cameron Mitchell might entice you to watch any animated comedy that has them as the cast.
However, Dash Shaw’s unique animation (he’s a graphic novelist by the way) for My Entire High School Sinking Into the Sea as well as the title should peak your interest more.
Seeing that in the trailer certainly got us on board (even though there is sinking involved)
My Entire High School Sinking Into the Sea will hit theaters on April 14th.
Archer: Dreamland will be a special 8th season of Archer that will have be set in a time and place of overdramatic shadows, fedoras, and fine tailoring all around.

For well over 300 episodes, Justin, Travis, and Griffin McElroy have had a damn good time dishing out unqualified advice on their own terms to their listeners on the My Brother, My Brother and Me podcast over at Maximum Fun.
Now, they’re going to have their own TV series on Seeso that upgrades the brothers to having adventures in their West Virginia hometown from the questions that they field.
This trailer looks like that they have a hell of a good time and promises plenty of delightful tomfoolery.
My Brother, My Brother and Me starts streaming on Seeso on Thursday, February 23rd.

Filmmaker Onur Tukel’s latest feature Catfight sets up Sandra Oh and Anne Heche as sworn enemies and promises of some epic, realistic brawling that might happen between a wine connoisseur and an artist.
Sounds like a lot of fun and the trailer looks even more devilishly enjoyable.
Look for Catfight to make its way in theaters starting March 3rd.
Bill Burr has a new stand-up special, Walk Your Way Out, coming out at the very end of this month and we don’t need to say much more than that, do we?

Phil Lord and Chris Miller continue to leave their high concept comedy mark on Fox with the arrival of Making History, written by Julius Sharpe (you probably know his work from Family Guy or Twitter).
Adam Pally, Yassir Lester, John Gemberling, Neil Casey, and Leighton Meester all join forces for this time travel comedy, which, from the newest trailer, looks like it could be a more grown-up, smarter version of Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure.
If you’re now or already on board, Making History just got a premiere date as well: Sunday, March 5th.
Rather than just doing an hour at a single mic, Neal Brennan’s latest comedy special, 3 Mics, opts for literal three microphones on stage at the same time. Brennan will do either one-liners, stories, or bits depending on which mic he is at.

Then, look for it to start streaming on Netflix on Tuesday, January 17th.
Sure, comedy in LA is in a current golden age/boom right now of the likes that has never been seen before.
However, the 1970s were a much crazier, drug-fueled time for comedy in LA and Showtime’s newest series, I’m Dying Up Here, looks to get into the nitty gritty of it all at that time.
The trailer just dropped and you can get a bit of a taste of what it was like at that time as well as enjoying seeing some comedians from now like Al Madrigal, Erik Griffin, Andrew Santino, and Jon Daly in crazy hair and get ups.
If you’re all on board for this, catch the series premiere of I’m Dying Up Here on Sunday, June 4th at 10PM on Showtime.
Both Girls and Lena Dunham have come a very long way in socio-political significance. Its stamp on pop culture, whether you love or hate the show (or watch a myriad of other TV series in this 21st Century Golden Age of Television), is pretty undeniable.
The sixth and final season of Girls is about to kick off in a year where visibility for women in media will be as important as it has ever been.
The trailer just dropped and seems to offer the set up for what will be some satisfying closure to the show and its characters. Maybe, that will make for an unforgettable send off of Girls?
We’ll see if that happens when the final season premieres on February 12th at Sunday, 10PM on HBO.
