Breathing New Life into TV Sketch Comedy

May 10, 2007Leave a comment

Sketch comedy shows seem to be getting a television revival these days. I reviewed AcceptableTV, Human Giant, and talked to Timmy Williams from The Whitest Kids U’ Know about the sketch comedy revival.

Check out the article and view clips from the shows here on Trashwire.com.

Young director Kane Parsons’ viral YouTube short film series comes to the big screen with A24’s Backrooms, exploring the eerie mundanity of liminal space and the internal turmoil of its original characters. YouTuber-turned-filmmaker Curry Barker’s Obsession is like Get Out for “nice guys”, blending funny, disturbing, and highly entertaining horror with surprisingly impactful themes about male entitlement, mutual consent, and female autonomy. As someone who was feeling pretty burned out on Star Wars, I greatly appreciated that The Mandalorian and Grogu was a standalone story. It’s much easier to have fun when every scene isn’t trying to set up a spinoff, create an applause break for a legacy character, or push forward a larger phase of a cinematic universe. It feels bold to release a movie like The Drama when media literacy has declined so much. This is now a Carl stan account. Project Hail Mary hits a perfect balance between sci-fi, humor, and heart. We get the enormous scale of space, but also a story grounded in emotion, due in large part to a phenomenal performance from Ryan Gosling. Sam Rockwell is a man from the future, trying to save humanity from an AI-driven technological apocalypse in Good Luck, Have Fun, Don’t Die, from director Gore Verbinski and writer Matthew Robinson. With Send Help, Sam Raimi reminds us that he is a master at balancing horror and comedy, turning a simple scenario about a downtrodden employee (Rachel McAdams) stranded on an island with her horrible boss (Dylan O’Brien) into a delightfully tense, bloody, fun movie experience. I’ve watched over 300 movies this year, but these were my faves. Which ones have you seen?
