While 2020 continues to be a nightmare, you now have a second Parks and Recreation virtual reunion to look forward to very soon. Parks and Rec creator Mike Schur, Nick Offerman, and Adam Scott (and special guests) will be joining Nithya Raman and supporting her campaign for LA City Council District 4.

If you look to Raman’s inclusive and compassionate campaign and platform, it’s kind of hard to not see parallels between her and one Leslie Knope. This event will be donate what you can for Nithya’s campaign ranging from levels of “Eagleton Resident” (free) to Lil Sebastian Memorial Fund ($500) or even Pyramid of Greatness ($800).

This Parks and Recreunion is set for Labor Day on Sept. 7th at 7:30PM PT/10:30PM ET. Get more details and tickets here.

Little Hours Red Band Trailer Plays Like Spiritual Sequel to Monty Python and the Holy Grail

April 19, 2017

Uncategorized

Little Hours is a raunchy, unfiltered comedy set in medieval times juxtaposing the sort of comedy that might star Alison Brie, Dave Franco, Aubrey Plaza, Kate Micucci, John C. Reilly, Molly Shannon, and Fred Armisen, but have nun, king, and peasant costumes.

That being the case of writer/director Jeff Baena’s latest work, you can see in the trailer how this could almost be the origin story of the “perilous” Castle Anthrax in Monty Python and The Holy Grail.

Also, we loved that the Catholic League calls it, “Pure trash,” and that pull quote is featured in this trailer.

So, look for Little Hours to hit theaters on June 30th.

The Internet loves few people quite like it loves Nick Offerman making this a no brainer.

The Webby Awards have found their latest host for their ceremonies this year, Nick Offerman. Beloved for being Ron Swanson and Ron Swanson-esque outside of Parks and Recreation, Offerman could be a perfect host for the event.

You can see Nick Offerman preside over The Webby Awards on Tuesday, May 17th. We’re sure he and his immaculate facial hair will be more than ready for the affair.

Kieran Culkin, Nick Offerman, Megan Mullally Starring in a Futuristic Comedy Where Babies Don’t Age

(via Deadline)

It’s appropriately titled Infinity Baby.

Now, we’re not sure exactly why babies stay 3-months old in director’s Bob Byington’s latest film, but it sure is intriguing. Having Kieran Culkin (who, we think, still needs a breakout role after his scene stealing work in Scott Pilgrim vs. The World) all those years ago and comedy power couple Nick Offerman and Megan Mullally really has our interest peaked.

At least some parents will get their wishes to have babies forever and maybe discover that wasn’t such a great idea?

Colbert Does Another Community Calendar, This Time for Minooka, Illinois with Minooka Native Nick Offerman

One of the recurring segments at The Late Show with Stephen Colbert that works best for us is Colbert’s rundown of events in small towns where his guests are from.

For Nick Offerman, Colbert and Nick go through the calendar of local events in Minooka, Illinois where Offerman grew up.

Of course, the event listings had every bit of small town charm and awkwardly written copy that you have to come to know and love from small town happenings.

Nick Offerman has another evening scheduled at LA’s revered Largo at the Coronet Theatre. As it is being called Full Bush, we assume that it’s a rather intimate evening of Offerman baring his soul, thoughts, truths, and maybe a little more.

Nick Offerman-Full Bush is happening Tuesday, March 22nd at 8:30PM. Tickets are on sale for $30.
