Belushi Review: Showtime’s Look at John Belushi Is Almost Definitive

New DVD release, , , ,
The world got to know John Belushi’s eyebrows before we got to know the man. They projected his innermost confusion, telegraphed his thought processes, and misdirected his most sincere intentions. Showtime’s heartfelt and intimate documentary, Belushi, opens with clips from the comic icon’s screen test for Saturday Night Live. Armed with just his face, he lets those eyebrows steal the scene. They cajole, caress, and careen across the bottom of his brow, culminating in a series of aerobic stretches with a gymnast’s flair. Belushi didn’t have to crack a joke, he barely had to say a word, and yet showed…

New DVD release, , , , ,
Check out this interview with Fred Armisen, Tim Heidecker, and John C. Reilly about their new space comedy on Showtime, Moonbase 8. “Going to space is no joke. The astronauts who make it up there go through years of training, endlessly repeating drills and crisis management maneuvers, and must be as intelligent as they are cool under pressure. In other words, they need to be everything the characters in Moonbase 8 are not,” Read more at Thrillist. From World Kindness Day to National Flossing Day, here are some offbeat holidays to celebrate in November. “While you’re busy celebrating Banana Pudding…

New DVD release, , , , , ,
A tired, sick, and hungry nation calls out for something…anything to distract from its miserable current state of affairs.

Moonbase 8 Release Date and Trailer for Showtime Astronaut Comedy

New DVD release, , , , ,
Moonbase 8 might, by virtue of its title, evoke imagery from unintentionally-funny early-post-Star Wars cash-in sci-fi from a bell-bottoms-brandishing yesteryear such as space base farce Saturn 3, but the comedy is assuredly intentional in the case of the Showtime series, which has just released its full trailer and a November release date. Intriguingly, Moonbase 8 is a six-episode half-hour astronaut comedy series that’s not even set in space, instead set in the final frontier of the Arizona desert, following the training exploits of bumbling NASA wannabees played by an auspicious comedy collective in John C. Reilly, Fred Armisen and Tim…

James Comey Gets the Hero Treatment in New Showtime Series Trailer

New DVD release, , , , ,
We have our first look at Jeff Daniels as James Comey and Brendan Gleeson as Donald Trump in The Comey Rule. And to be honest, it appears eerie in more than one way. The new two-part miniseries event hails from Showtime and creator Billy Ray, who among other credits wrote Captain Phillips and the adapted screenplay to the first Hunger Games movie. So the true story aspirations of the former and dystopian vision of reality television stars in the latter appear to merge in this visibly stirring image of James Comey, the all-American hero on screen. The series will be…

Kidding Canceled at Showtime

New DVD release, ,
Kidding has been nixed at Showtime after two seasons. The half-hour dramedy was a critical hit, but at the end of its sophomore run the Jim Carrey-led series was landing just 54,000 same-day viewers. Showtime had originally built the project in-house with creator Dave Holstein (I’m Dying Up Here) and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind director Michel Gondry, and anticipation was high for the show, which marked Carrey’s first real TV dalliance since appearing on In Living Color many, many years ago. “After two seasons, Kidding has concluded its run on Showtime,” reads a statement on the series’ cancelation.…
