Well, Zach Galifianakis and Scott Aukerman are taking Between Two Ferns out of the studio with a crew (that happens to feature Lauren Lapkus) that we actually get to see along with their two ferns across America (plus a plethora of A-list cameos including Matthew McConaughey, Brie Larson, Benedict Cumberbatch, and Chrissy Teigen). What was just a Funny or Die sketch has turned into one of the Internet’s most enduring web series and now, a major motion picture (that won’t be in theaters?).

In fact, given that every episode of Between Two Ferns has technically been a bottle episode (an episode of a series that takes place with minimal sets, cast, effects, locations, etc. mainly for budgetary reasons), would this be the “anti-bottle episode” with how much more outlandish everything is in this movie adaptation?

See for yourself in the trailer, then look for Between Two Ferns: The Movie on Netflix on Fri., Sept. 20th.

Between Two Ferns Movie to Have Zach Galifianakis Go on a Road Trip for Redemption and Adds Ryan Gaul, Lauren Lapkus, Jiavani Linayao to Cast

You might have been able to guess that a feature length adaptation of Between Two Ferns would probably have to pull back the curtain (even though the series is premised on that already) a little more.

Turns out that this Netflix movie version will have Zach Galifianakis still doing interviews of high profile celebrities, though doing them on the road as a way to show Will Ferrell that he is actual a good interviewer and not the sort of “best/worst” sort of interviewer that has made Between Two Ferns one of the most beloved, long running web series on the Internet. Also, Gaul, Lapkus, and Linayao being smarty added as the crew is another intriguing wrinkle that really has us pondering just how meta this film will get.

We’re curious to see if this premise means that Zach, for a bit, does legitimately try to interview his guests well, but, because of his reputation in the Between Two Ferns universe, it all still goes awry. We’ll find out not too long from now on the film’s release date on Netflix, Sept. 20th.

Just before the summer ends on Sept. 20th, there’s one more big tentpole blockbuster set to come out that you’ll absolutely need to see.

That’s right, Rambo V, the latest installment in the Rambo film empire, will be in theaters around the world.

(sound of shuffling papers)

Oh yeah, that Between Two Ferns with Zach Galifianakis movie is coming out too on Netflix.

Come to think of it, maybe Aukerman and Galifianakis were able to land Sly Stone? We sincerely hope so.

Between Two Ferns With Zach Galifianakis Movie in the Works at Netflix

While the whole premise of Between Two Ferns is to invert the talk show format so far on its head that it’s essentially an anti-talk-show talk show. That idea along with Zach Galifianakis’ mastery of deadpan made for one of Funny or Die’s most popular ventures over the years.

There is no regular schedule for when one of these will be made and released, which has resulted in a sort of heightening how much their subverting a talk show (even to the point where they’ll have guests that subvert the whole artifice of Between Two Ferns itself).

So, with the prospect of an entire movie via Netflix already under way, we can only imagine that Zach and Scott Aukerman are going to get incredibly meta with this.

It’s a new episode of Between Two Ferns. You ought to know the drill by now for one of the Internet’s most beloved web series/anti-talk shows.

We will say that Galifianakis and co. take Jerry Seinfeld to task in pretty much every way possible (other than maybe torching a limited edition Porsche right in front of him). For a twist, there’s a cheeky contrast in tone with Cardi B.

See it for yourself here.

Zach Galifianakis Says a Donald Trump Episode of Between Two Ferns Doesn’t Interest Him

Where other news organizations are supposed to be fair and balanced during election years (though the amount of press Trump has gotten has really violated that notion), Between Two Ferns with Zach Galifianakis has never been about being fair and balanced. In fact, being unfair in the most ironic way possible is much more what they go for.

Zach Galifianakis’ remarks on Trump having psychosis and being mentally challenged in a LA Times interview about the recent Clinton episode of Between Two Ferns give us a pretty good indication that Hillary Clinton will probably be the only presidential candidate to get be a guest on Between Two Ferns this year.

Specifically, Zach ending the discussion on the matter by saying, “I wouldn’t have somebody on that’s so mentally challenged. I feel like I’d be taking advantage of him. And you can print that.”

Thank goodness that won’t happen as we already have passed the point of Trump humor saturation.

Between Two Ferns With Zach Galifianakis: Hillary Clinton from Hillary Clinton

You know the drill by now.

One of the funniest web series of all time has one of the most powerful people in the world essentially go through a round of back-and-forth roast jokes and it’s great.

This latest edition with Hillary Clinton is no exception to said drill and we definitely undid the damage of that Pokemon Go pun that Clinton used from a few weeks back.

Watch and enjoy here.

The headline pretty much says all you need to know about a brand new episode of Between Two Ferns with Brad Pitt and Louis C.K. unless you somehow have managed to avoid Between Two Ferns all these years.

Watch and enjoy over and over here like the rest of the Internet will be doing for next several days here.

This year, Zach Galifianakis has covered quite a range going from doing an episode of his meta talk show Between Two Ferns with President Barack Obama to the upcoming, highly anticipated dark comedy Birdman from Alejandro González Iñárritu.

Zach gave a great inside look to both of those experiences during his interview at The Daily Show last night. Watch it here and beware if you’re a fan of Arby’s.

Being the ringleader behind Comedy Bang! Bang! and Between Two Ferns, Scott Aukerman has had his fair share of chaos to deal with.

He stopped by Late Night with Seth Meyers to talk on the working parts behind Comedy Bang! Bang! and the extent of planning that goes into each episode as well as what the experience was like having POTUS Barack Obama on Between Two Ferns or, as Obama initially called it, Two Ferns.

Among the comedy nominees were:

Louie, Silicon Valley, Veep, Modern Family, Orange Is The New Black, Spoils of Babylon, Derek, Episodes, Girls, Parks and Recreation, The Colbert Report, The Daily Show, Jimmy Kimmel Live, Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, SNL, Brooklyn Nine-Nine, Key & Peele, Portlandia, Sarah Silverman, Billy Crystal, Inside Amy Schumer, Between Two Ferns, Children’s Hospital, Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee, “@midnight”, Archer, Futurama, Bob’s Burgers, South Park, Adventure Time, Phineas & Ferb, Robot Chicken, The Simpsons, Family Guy, Community, and It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia.

While not all of these shows got Outstanding Comedy Series, it’s great to see Silicon Valley get nominations in its first season (one of them being Outstanding Comedy Series), Key & Peele get the respect it deserves, and have things like Between Two Ferns also get nominated for an Emmy.
