If you wish there was less histrionic ranting and more fun had with The Newsroom, this might be for you.
The only other time that Sir Patrick Stewart seems as off the wall as he will be in the new Starz’s series Blunt Talk from Jonathan Ames and Seth MacFarlane was his great appearance in a Colbert Report bit.
Just check him as a cable news anchor going about the gig like a veteran rock star in this trailer.
Shots has been fired and the forces of Pied Piper and Nucleus will be clashing in Silicon Valley.
Not only is the whole Pied Piper gang back, but they’ll be duking it out with Richard’s former boss still from the confines of a house rather than a sleek office building. Just watch and enjoy in this trailer.
The stage is set perfectly for season 2 of Silicon Valley, which will premiere on Sun. Apr. 12th at 10PM on HBO.
One could almost make a sub genre out of dark buddy road trip comedies just from the 21st century. We haven’t checked Netflix, so maybe that is a genre. If not, Jess Weixler and Jennifer Prediger’s Apartment Troubles would be a good example of said genre according to this trailer.
Weixler and Prediger star as the two roommates that go LA or bust in trying to make it in “the biz” and also features a supporting cast of Jeffrey Tambor, Will Forte, and Megan Mullally.
You can watch Apartment Troubles in theaters on Mar. 27th or you can watch it right now off of iTunes.
You’ve enjoyed Nick Kroll in many a different costume on Kroll Show, but now you get to see him probably as grounded as he’ll get as someone who loses everything almost instantly in Adult Beginners.
The Duplass Brothers produced this movie from a story written by Kroll himself, which boasts a cast of of Rose Byrne, Bobby Cannavale, and Joel McHale. So, that along with a bit of Skeleton Twins vibe has got our attention.
You can watch the trailer here and look for Adult Beginners in theaters and VOD on Apr. 24th.

Disney Pixar’s latest Inside Out, which features Amy Poehler, Mindy Kaling, Lewis Black, Bill Hader, and Phyllis Smith as the voice of adorably anthropomorphized emotions got a new trailer today.
From the looks of it, it looks like this will be another home run with the creative and cleverly imagined world and fully realized, charming non-human characters. Also, it’s almost too perfect that Poehler is the voice of Joy.
Inside Out is set for a Jun. 19th release.
This series has taken more than its fair share of bizarre turns as the original starring role was going to Philip Seymour Hoffman until he suddenly and tragically passed away.
Showtime opted to not give up on the show and brought the great Steve Coogan on board in place of Hoffman. You can see by this trailer that Coogan will be just fine in this role.
Now, HAPPYish is set to premiere Apr. 26th on Showtime at 9:30PM.
Also, it’s interesting to note that along with the upcoming Blunt Talk, Last Week Tonight, Episodes, there’s a pretty interesting trend of Brits rising in premium cable comedy series.
The trailer for the latest season of Veep is here, which means season 4 is almost here. Specifically, Sun. Apr. 12th 10:30PM on HBO is when season 4 will premiere.
Until then, you can enjoy the obscenely smart barbs thrown back and forth within The White House as well as confirmation that Hugh Laurie will be part of this season in this aforementioned trailer.
Of course Dan Harmon and his whole crew at Community gave The Avengers: Age of Ultron trailer a run for its money in the trailer for season 6 of Community.
So, without further interruption, here’s the trailer of Community season 6/Age of Yahoo now featuring the talents of Paget Brewster and Keith David.
Also, be sure to add a reminder on your calendar that the premiere is on Mar. 17th.
At the end of this month, Noah Baumbach’s latest work While We’re Young comes out in theaters. Then, we’ll all get to see Ben Stiller and Naomi Watts as an older couple try to hang out and keep up with a spirited younger couple in Adam Driver and Amanda Seyfried that do lots of young people things.
There’s this trailer as well as this brand new trailer to feast on until then.
Less than a month from now, we’ll all get to return the halls of Childrens Hospital filled with all the blood, facepaint, and werewolves(?) that you’ve come to know and love.
Here’s a taste of all of that in the season 6 trailer.
The season premiere is Mar. 20th at midnight on Adult Swim.
For the preponderance of dramedy that’s recently come out in TV and movies, the sillier side of comedy could use a bit of a boost.
This trailer for screwball whodunit relationship comedy Wild Canaries might be that little boost. Written, directed, and co-starring Lawrence Michael Levine, it follows a recently engaged filmmaking duo that investigates the death of the neighbor in the apartment below. If you need a little more enticing, Alia Shawkat is also in the cast.
It comes out this Wed. Feb. 25th, FYI, just after your interest is peaked by watching the trailer.
Over a month ago, a wonderful trailer was briefly released for “Welcome To Me” starring Kristen Wiig as an off-kilter lottery winner that starts her own talk show with her winnings. Then, it disappeared.
Almost a month later, there is a new trailer that you should watch just as obsessively as you did the last one. There’s probably never been a movie that’s more perfect for Wiig and, we’ll say it again, Kristen should probably have her own show like the fictionalized one in this movie.
OK, that’ s enough from us. Watch the trailer for Welcome To Me here.
Of the Oscar nominated pictures in the Foreign Language Film category this year, Damián Szifron’s Wild Tales (titled Relatos Salvajes when originally released in Argentina) presented by Pedro Almodovar stands out as it combines a bits of a comedy and a thriller in a few stories that represent a revenge anthology. The premise kind of reminds us a little of the brilliant Seven Psychopaths from Martin McDonagh.
See what we’re talking about in the trailer here and if your interest has been peaked, you can perhaps catch Wild Tales in limited release this Fri. Feb. 20th.
Last year, we caught wind of what might be a “Hawaii rocket launch rom com” in Cameron Crowe’s latest film, which was called Deep Tiki at the time.
Since then, the movie’s title has changed to Aloha and the first trailer has arrived. Where it will end up the Cameron Crowe spectrum of romantic comedies from Say Anything to Almost Famous to Elizabethtown has yet to be seen. The love triangle between Bradley Cooper, Emma Stone, and Rachel McAdams seems to lean more in tone towards Elizabethtown, but the presences of Danny McBride, Alec Baldwin, and Bill Murray lean more towards Say Anything.
Either way, we’re intrigued to see another trailer as well as the movie itself.
Oxygen is now set to have a whole documentary series following female comedians in their pursuit of making it. They’ve gathered a pretty great bunch to follow as well including Calise Hawkins, Ester Steinberg, Nicole Aimee Schreiber, Stephanie Simbari, Scout Durwood, and Yamaneika Saunders
The show follows them around semi-reality style through the highs and lows of being a comedian that’s hustling to make it big while also including plenty of bits of actual stand-up.
Check the trailer here.
Funny Girls will premiere Tuesday, April 7th at 9PM on Oxygen.
After a series of dramadies and more grounded roles with Kristen Wiig, Wiig seems like she will get to be more of the wonderful weirdo that we all came to know and love on SNL in her latest film Welcome To Me from director Shira Piven and writer Eliot Laurence.
Wiig plays a woman who is more than a little offbeat, but then suddenly wins the lottery and creates her own talk show. The result, from this trailer anyway, seems to be Wiig getting to run with however absurd she wants to get.
After watching this, we hope that in some universe if not this one that Wiig would be the host kind of like she is here for a real talk show.
*Trailer has been taken down for the time being.
We all got a preview of what NBC will be missing out on today with the release of the very first trailer for The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt starring a radiantly smiling Ellie Kemper.
Keep in mind, Netflix already has two seasons of this ordered, something that networks almost wouldn’t think of doing these days. Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt is set for release on Mar. 6th.
A Better You is Matt Walsh’s 2nd film, co-written by star Brian Huskey, shows when hypnotherapy perhaps might not be the answer to your or even the hypnotherapist’s problem.
Horatio Sanz, Andy Daly, Morgan Walsh, Riki Lindhome, Natasha Leggero, Joe Lo Truglio, and more round a stellar cast as one might expect with Walsh at the helm.
A Better You is set to go around the film festival circuit, but you can watch the trailer here.
Joel Potrykus’ Buzzard seems to follow in the tradition of Office Space, The Office, and more timely workplace comedies/satires with a little bit of an edge. Every decade or so, a film or TV show in the genre seems to come along that hits such a good nerve. We hope that Buzzard could be that film.
Watch the trailer and see for yourself then see it in select cities on Mar. 6th.
Last Summer, Kurt Braunohler took a jet ski down the Mississippi River from Chicago to New Orleans in order to send goats to Africa for Heifer International.
Just so you know, goats did get sent to Africa and Kurt did make it New Orleans.
He did all this for his up coming CC:Studios web series Roustabout, which gets released on Jan. 26th.
It’s as epic as you’d imagine and if you don’t think so, then just watch this trailer right now.
Like we said earlier this week, This Is Not Happening with Ari Shaffir is set to premiere on Comedy Central Jan. 22nd at 12:30AM.
To give you a little taste of what the stories from Bert Kreischer, Marc Maron, Cy Amundson, Bobby Lee, Keegan Michael-Key, Steve Rannazzisi, Cristela Alonzo, Ali Saddiq, Sean O’Connor, Rob Corddry, Will Weldon, Tom Segura, Paul Scheer, Big Jay Oakerson, Barry Rothbart, Jay Larson, Iliza Shlesinger, and more might be like, here’s a trailer.
Also, you get to see how crazy the opening sequence for the show is as well.
Cavalier agents in extremely well fitting suits get to sit this round of clandestine operations out in Paul Feig’s upcoming espionage comedy Spy. Melissa McCarthy stars as an analyst turned agent for appearing to be the most unlikely person for the job of saving the world.
Jude Law, Jason Statham, Allison Janney, and more make fun cameos as well. Watch the trailer here and wonder if you could connect McCarthy shacking up with a U.S. Air Marshal in Bridesmaids with this latest role.
Spy is set for release on May 22nd.
Marjane Satrapi, the woman behind the amazing animated feature Persepolis, has her next film lined-up, which is a little bit of a departure.
Satrapi directs Ryan Reynolds as an apparently quaint man who keeps hearing voices and is encouraged to act violently because of them. Gemma Arterton, Anna Kendrick, and Jacki Weaver also co-star in this off-beat live action dark comedy, The Voices.
Watch the trailer here and mark the release Feb. 6th.
FXx’s latest series Man Seeking Woman takes the nightmarish parts of dating literally. All the emotionally horrific things that star Jay Baruchel goes through, accompanied by Eric Andre, are then actualized into something more terrifying, which is pretty fun to watch.
The first full trailer just got released and you can watch it here.
After that, you can catch the premiere of Man Seeking Woman on Wed. Jan. 14th 10:30PM on FXx.
