Between Two Ferns: The Movie Trailer Is Here

September 3, 2019

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: The Movie Is Coming to Netflix Right at the End of the Summer

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

December 6, 2018

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.

Between Two Ferns Trolls Jerry Seinfeld with Help of Cardi B

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.

Oh, this would be a great time to remind you to get into Baskets if you, perchance, haven’t dipped your toe in yet.

Perhaps it’s because of the human element that underlies Baskets or just how great of a serious goofball Zach Galifianakis is what makes Baskets the one clown that is actually endearing across the board.

“7-inches for Planned Parenthood” Will Be a Special Vinyl Record Box Set Featuring Great Comedy and Music in Support of Planned Parenthood

Trump has let the states decide whether they want to defund Planned Parenthood or not. So, now, so many people are stepping up to have the back of Planned Parenthood.

So, to support the cause, a special collector’s box set of vinyl records featuring the comedy of Sarah Silverman, Aparna Nancherla, Jenny Slate, Margaret Cho, Tig Notaro, Janeane Garofalo, Pete Holmes, and Zach Galifianakis in addition to music from some of the musicians around like St. Vincent, Sleater-Kinney, Björk, Matt Berninger, Elliott Smith, Sharon Van Etten, Mitski, Feist, and Chvrches will be released soon. All of the comedy comes from Largo’s archives by the way.

Also, we like that the folks behind this project made this note:

Do we know there’s a joke in the name? We do. We hope the title evokes the rich history of 7-inch vinyl records as a medium for protest music and resistance.

Pre-sale date has yet to be announced, but you can get more info here.

Comedy multi-hyphenate Andre Hyland, among his many talents, has a knack for getting the most lively interviews out of those usually droll press junkets where a film or TV show’s talent sit for hours and hours and answer the same questions over and over again.

Hyland has done this for years at various channels and digital platforms under various personas because, well, he boldly has fun like no other interviewer at these junkets does.

The latest iteration of Andre being mischievous amongst A-listers is with the new Super Deluxe web series Bonus Features. Watch the first episode where he plays around with Zach Galifianakis, Jon Hamm, Gal Gadot, Isla Fisher, Matt Walsh, and Maribeth Monroe, the cast of Keeping Up with the Joneses.

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

September 26, 2016

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

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.

Looks Like Masterminds Will Be Finally Coming Out After All September 30th

The trailer is evidence of Masterminds finally coming out (it had been in limbo forever because of Relativity’s bankruptcy) and let’s hope that sticks this time as this seems like a welcome break from franchise sequels and nostalgia baiting.
