Set in the 16th century, the Prime Video series follows the story of Lady Jane Grey as she nearly escapes the executioner’s axe and has a fulfilling life filled with love and adventure. My Lady Jane stars Emily Bader in the lead role, with Edward Bluemel, Jordan Peters, Anna Chancellor, Rob Brydon, Dominic Cooper, Jim Broadbent, Will Keen, Kate O’Flynn, and Máiréad Tyers starring in supporting roles.

In her new uInterview, Orange Is The New Black star Beth Dover shared how she used her comedy skills in her latest role as Molly Arden in Helen’s Dead.

The film focuses on a group of people who find a dead body at a dinner party, which her character attends to write an expose on.

“Basically, it’s sort of the aftermath of that,” Dover explained to uInterview founder Erik Meers. “So it’s like, what if a bunch of people went to a dinner party and found a dead body? But all of these people are slightly self-involved, maybe slightly unlikeable. And what happens when they find a dead body?”

Dover described the film as a “madcap adventure. It’s like sort of in the style of Clue, maybe.”

The actress shared that she was able to do some improv work with her castmates while on set, which was memorable for her.

Exclusive: Filming is underway in Los Angeles at Stay Lucky Studios for horror-comedy Thinestra, starring twin sisters Melissa Macedo (Girlboss) and Michelle Macedo (Every Time I Die). Directed by Nathan Hertz in their feature directorial debut, and written by Avra Fox-Lerner, the cast also features Brian Huskey (Veep) Shannon Dang (Kung Fu), Gavin Stenhouse (Kung Fu) and comedian Mary Beth Barone.

Thinestra takes place during a Christmas heat wave in Los Angeles. The story follows Penny, who, unhappy with her full-bodied physique, is on a restrictive diet, brutal workout regimen, & overall wellness binge. One day, at the photo studio where Penny works as a retoucher, an austere model gives Penny a baggie of sketchy diet pills. Soon after, following an awkward Christmas party, Penny loses her conviction & stuffs herself with cookies.

Devastated by her mistake she resorts to taking the strange weight loss drug labeled ‘Thinestra’. That night, Penny starts...

If you’re in the mood for a gory little dark comedy, Helen’S Dead might allay your craving. The tale plays out in one arduous night (apart from a few flashbacks) at a small, rather fancy dinner party. The host (Brian Huskey) is an uptight foodie; his wife (Annabelle Dexter-Jones) is an even more uptight “influencer.” Guests include her sister, Helen (Matilda Anna Ingrid Lutz), their cousin Addie (Dylan Gelula), a jerk (Emile Hirsch) who’d been involved with both, a writer (Beth Dover) and a couple of unexpected visitors. The film opens with one of them announcing she’s just found Helen dead in another room, then brings us up to and beyond that point, with further casualties, motives and suspects in play.

Unlike most flicks in which the members of a small isolated group of victims-in-waiting are bumped off one-by-one,...

“The cast is just stellar,” states “Lucky Hank” editor Richard Schwadel in our recent webchat. He continues, “It’s such a treat to watch dailies and put scenes together that made me laugh or made me cry. That’s a real unique talent to be able to put a cast together like that.” Watch our exclusive video interview above.

“Lucky Hank” is the new AMC dark comedy, where Bob Odenkirk plays college professor William Henry “Hank” Devereaux, Jr. Schwadel explains, “it’s a tough nut to crack having an anti-hero that isn’t super likable. In the first episode, he trashes his student’s work. That was difficult. But Bob Odenkirk is such an amazing actor. Just a look or a grunt says so much. For me it was a challenge to make sure he was likable, but keep that edge to his character.”

SEEAfter all those Emmy wins for dramas,...

Plot: Lucky Hank is an eight-episode mid-life crisis tale set at Railton College. Told in the first person by William Henry Devereaux, Jr., the unlikely chairman of the English department in a badly underfunded college in the Pennsylvania rust belt.

Review: Bob Odenkirk is one hell of an actor. The accomplished comedian joined Breaking Bad as Saul Goodman in what many of us assumed was a comic relief role before turning in a bravura performance as the lawyer in his spin-off, Better Call Saul. While earning acclaim in that role, Odenkirk became an unexpected action hero in Nobody, proving his versatility across genres. Now, Odenkirk blends his dramatic and comedic chops for a new AMC series, Lucky Hank. Based on the Richard Russo novel Straight Man, Lucky Hank is a biting and satirical comedy that is equally serious and funny, with a substantial leading role for Odenkirk as the title character.

Time for some inside baseball: reviewing TV can be tricky. When I review a movie, I'm always given a full picture; a beginning, middle, and end. TV is a different beast, because most of the time, networks will only send out a handful of episodes to review instead of a full season. And as almost anyone can tell you, a lot of TV shows take a little time to get to that sweet spot. It's very rare to have a show that's firing on all cylinders right out of the gate — unless the show is an episodic sitcom, you need time to spend with the characters as they deal with their various ever-unfolding conflicts.

All of this is to say that it's not an easy task to review "Lucky Hank," Bob Odenkirk's return to both TV and AMC. Only two episodes were provided for review, and as a whole,...

The doors stay open, and the burgers keep being served in the 13th season of the Bob's Burgers TV show on Fox. As we all know, Nielsen ratings typically play a big role in determining whether a TV show like Bob's Burgers is cancelled or renewed for season 14. Unfortunately, most of us do not live in Nielsen households. Because many viewers feel frustrated when their viewing habits and opinions aren't considered, we invite you to rate all of the 13th season episodes of Bob's Burgers here. *Status Update Below.

At this point, Bob's Burgers has been on the air for over a decade, and Fox typically keeps renewing its established animated shows year after year. However, since the network no longer owns the series, they don't profit from syndication and streaming sales as they once did. At some point, Bob's Burgers could be cancelled on Fox and moved to a Disney-owned channel or streaming service. Will the series be renewed for season 14 on Fox, or could this be the series' last year on the network? Stay tuned. *Status Update Below.

Just after 7 p.m. inside Neuehouse Hollywood on Tuesday, Mike Judge took the microphone and started offering a series of thank you’s to the team that helped him bring knuckleheads Beavis and Butt-Head back to the screen in the pair’s first movie since 1996.

He took a brief detour after mentioning the first two names on his list — Paramount Media Networks & MTV Entertainment Studios Chris McCarthy and Paramount Media Networks & MTV Entertainment Studios chief operating officer Keyes Hill-Edgar — to detail a key lunch meeting they had right before the pandemic struck that led to this installment, Beavis and Butt-Head Do the Universe.

“They were the guys who took the risk and funded this whole thing. I’ll never forget, we had lunch in March 2020, on Friday the 13th, literally the day before the lockdown happened,” Judge recalled. “I think Michael Rotenberg [Judge’s 3 Arts Entertainment manager] said,...

It has been 26 years since “Beavis and Butt-Head Do America” hit theaters, and 11 have gone by since the eighth season of “Beavis and Butt-Head” aired on MTV. But nothing is ever truly dead in the age of streaming, and Mike Judge’s slacker cartoon characters are about to come back in a big way.

In addition to the planned revival of the television series, which has already been given a two-season order, Paramount+ is gearing up to release a second movie, “Beavis and Butt-Head Do the Universe.” The film was written, directed, and produced by Judge, who also voices the eponymous characters. While the initial film was a road trip comedy that spanned the United States of America, Judge’s sequel has even bigger aims, taking the characters to outer space and beyond.

The film claims to be “the dumbest science fiction movie ever made,” and the trailer does its...

Two of television’s most iconic idiots are back. “Beavis and Butt-Head Do the Universe,” a new animated feature film starring the ’90s MTV characters, is set to premiere on Paramount+ June 23.

The news was announced alongside the release of the official trailer for the film (see below), which sees Beavis and Butt-Head (both voiced by creator Mike Judge), on a space mission with NASA in 1998 (the year after the original series ended) and winding up in the year 2022. As the Nsa and the U.S. government track them down, the two struggle to adjust to modern life, while retaining their childish sense of humor.

Originally created by Judge for the MTV animated anthology series “Liquid Television,” Beavis and Butt-Head are two teenage slackers who share an extreme libido and complete inability to attract women. The characters proved popular enough to launch their own spinoff series, which ran for 200 episodes across seven seasons.

Beavis and Butt-Head are back, and more immature than ever.

Paramount+ on Thursday unveiled a trailer for Beavis and Butt-Head Do the Universe, an original movie that will land on the streaming service Thursday, June 23 and mark the animated duo’s first on-screen appearance since 2011.

Beavis and Butt-Head, the iconic and delightfully idiotic animated duo of the ’90s, are making their return to screens after more than 10 years with “Beavis and Butt-Head Do the Universe.”

Paramount+ announced Thursday that the upcoming original movie will premiere on the streaming service Thursday, June 23, along with the film’s trailer debut. In addition to the new movie, Paramount+ will stream the full library of 200+ remastered episodes of the long-running “Beavis and Butt-Head” series, with a new series in the works set to debut later this year.

In its first trailer, “Beavis and Butt-Head Do the Universe” promises to be the “Dumbest Science Fiction Movie Ever Made,” with a tale that “technically spans two centuries.”

According to the Paramount+ release, “The saga begins when Beavis and Butt-Head wind up at space camp through “creative sentencing” from a juvenile court judge in 1998. Mistaking a docking simulator for something else (huh...

Linda and Mr. Fischoeder are teaming up to sing an ode to bananas in a new sneak peek at Sunday’s episode of “Bob’s Burgers,” and who doesn’t love a good duet?

With lyrics like “I like bananas in muffins and scones / I like bananas when I’m making a phone,” the song appears not to be the Hoosier Hot Shots novelty song “I Like Bananas (Because They Have No Bones),” but a completely different song about a different set of reasons to be fond of the yellow fruit.

The clip comes from Sunday’s episode “Copa-Bob-bana,” in which Bob (H. Jon Benjamin) agrees to be the temporary chef at the Fischoeders’ new nightclub. Meanwhile, the kids get a hold of a stock tank and decide to throw a pool party in the restaurant basement.

A new promo for the upcoming 11th season released by Fox on Tuesday, teases an upcoming episode titled “Worms of In-Rear-Ment” in which a pinworm epidemic hits the local community, derailing Linda’s plans to take her family to the symphony. Maybe not a global coronavirus pandemic, but still pretty bad.

There aren’t many stories as grody as the one being told in Mope. For those who don’t know the true tale, I’ll keep the salacious details to be discovered, but for those who know what this film is about, it isn’t hard to imagine the avenues being taken here. While the flick is pretty grimy, there’s an undercurrent of trying for something more. Mope doesn’t pull it off, despite its Boogie Nights ambitions, but it is somewhat encouraging to see the concept not executed with a lowest common denominator feel. You’ll need a shower after watching this, but you’ll also be left with a bit to think about. It’s a missed opportunity, but one not without some redeeming qualities. The movie is a mix of comedy and drama, leading up to tragedy. For those aware of the true story, this is...

"You'll do anything I ask?" Quiver has debuted an official trailer for an indie comedy titled Mope, which first premiered at last year's Sundance Film Festival. It also played at the Cinepocalypse, Bucheon Fantastic Film Festival, and Fantasy Filmfest in Germany last year. Based on a true crime story by Michael Louis Albo, the film is a dark comedy about the multibillion-dollar world of pornography, the term "mope" refers to a low-level, wannabe porn actor. In this tragic true story, Stephen and Herbert, respectively known by their porn alter egos Steve Driver and Tom Dong, were two such mopes—real-life best friends attempting to live the impossible dream. This all looks as crazy and twisted and wacky as it sounds. Nathan Stewart-Jarrett as Steve and Kelly Sry as Tom, with David Arquette, Max Adler, Tonya Cornelisse, Clayton Rohner, Brian Huskey, and Peggy Dunne. This seems totally ridiculous, but ridiculous in a good way.

This Veep review contains spoilers.

Veep Season 7 Episode 3

Veep season 7 episode 3, "Pledge," aims for higher ground, but gets fatigued on the way and winds up digging deeper into the black hole we call politics. Leading into the first debates, the party goes progressive and the presidential campaign gets progressively worse. The title refers to an impromptu election promise not to go negative we're positive will only hobble a highly charged race.

The episode opens with Selina Meyer (Julia Louis-Dreyfus) disparaging the "Kemistry" of her former protégé, and current rival, United States Senator from New York Kemi Talbot (Toks Olagundoye). Kent Davison (Gary Cole) begins explaining the sociopolitical significance of protest candidates, and she puts up a hand and says "off." For a moment, it looks like the long-time logarithmic political advisor actually shuts down.

Selina braves the many cedars of Iowa in Veep's season 7 premiere.

This Veep review contains spoilers.

Veep: Season 7 Episode 1

Veep season 7 episode 1, "Iowa," establishes the kind of campaign Selina Meyer (Julia Louis-Dreyfus) will be running on her fight back to the top spot in Washington. The former president and probable presidential hopeful is flying in to meet the people who will put her in the oval office. Amy Brookheimer (Anna Chlumsky) and Dan Eagan (Reid Scott) have them all assembled on the tarmac at the Cedar Rapids airport. Selina deplanes to empty space at Cedar Falls. Nothing taxis in to Cedar Rapids. The big moment is blown because of the overabundance of cedars in Iowa, the state which chooses who runs. The screw-up defines the season, the staff, its boss and somehow the American way. The team hit the road promising a “New. Selina. Now" and got back the same old Selina,...

Selina Meyer wants her old job back, as Veep cuts the stumps for Season 7.

This is a spoiler-free Veep review.

In Veep Season 7, Selina Meyer (Julia Louis-Dreyfus) is once again on the road to finish the work she began during her short term as the leader of the free world. Selina finished out the Meyer years, or more accurately the Meyer year, as the 43rd most effective president, right ahead of Buchanan, in American history.

Veep Season 6 ended with her going on a "feeling" tour, where she could be with the real folks out there to "feel their feelings and hear their speakings." Rightly or wrongly taking the pulse of the nation, Meyer decided to run again for president, against the advice of her staff and the wishes of her family. Her daughter Catherine (Sarah Sutherland), now married to Selina's former secret service body double Marjorie (Clea DuVall), had an...

More than two years ago, prior to “Veep” Season 6, much was made about the effect Donald Trump would have on HBO’s political satire. How could such an enormous, unexpected shift in America go unremarked upon by TV’s most prescient comedy on American government? But the season was already written. The Trump effect was relatively moot in the alternate reality established within the series, even if showrunner David Mandel and his award-winning writing staff still proved their Nostradamus-esque abilities to predict future political foibles more than a few times over.

Now, “Veep” has adjusted. Deliberately or instinctively, its searing viewpoint on the system and its players has widened to include those formerly outside the bubble. Season 7 — the series’ last — takes aim not only the power-hungry politicians, but also at the willfully ignorant American people who stubbornly support them. That includes the viewers at home; those who carelessly laughed at...

One of the more provocative films that screened as part of the Midnight lineup at this year’s Sundance Film Festival was Lucas Heyne’s Mope, which is centered around the real-life experiences of two low-level porn stars (generally referred to as “Mopes”) who are chasing fame and women, but their dreams and lives are both tragically cut short. While in Park City last week, Daily Dead had the opportunity to speak with Heyne and several of the cast members from Mope, including David Arquette, Brian Huskey, Kelly Sry, Max Adler, and Tonya Cornelisse, and they chatted about the parallels between the film’s two main characters and their own struggles in Hollywood, the weight of creating a film based on true events, helping erase the stigma surrounding pornography and sex workers, and more.

Lucas, I'd love to start with you and talk a little bit about how this came together,...

First off, it is important that the definition of mope is clear: a mope is a person in the porn industry operating in the lowest possible positions, usually angling for a chance to make it big. This includes doing some truly gross, demeaning things. It’s also important to know that this film is based on a true story. For Nathan Stewart-Jarrett’s Steve Hill–he likes to be called Steve Driver–and Tom Dong (Kelly Sry), being a mope is okay. For a while, at least. The two meet at a bukkake film shoot and become fast friends. Directed by Lucas Heyne, Mope is an incredibly dark showbiz comedy that pulls no punches, for better or worse.

Thanks to Steve’s intense optimism and Tom’s It savvy, the new duo land jobs as live-in mopes for Eric (Brian Huskey), a disgusting porn producer who runs a bottom-of-the-barrel studio.

Lucas Heyne’s feature directing debut Mope will have its world premiere later this month in the Midnight section of the Sundance Film Festival. Deadline has the first look at the movie co-written by Zack Newkirk and Heyne and produced by Parkside Pictures in association with Saxton Cinema & Uncooperative Pictures.

The drama is based on the true story of a real-life murder in 2010 at a San Fernando Valley porn company.

TBS has opted not give a third-season renewal to its summer series People of Earth, the network’s supernatural-tinged comedy. Creator David Jenkins tipped the news last night on Twitter, and the move comes after the network had initially renewed it in the fall along with fellow summer series Wrecked and The Guest Book.

Jenkins told fans that Season 3 of the single-camera comedy, from Conan O’Brien’s Conaco and Warner Horizon Television, had already been written.

The series, executive produced by Greg Daniels and O’Brien, revolves around a group of alien abductees – or “experiencers” – living in the small town of Beacon, NY. The ensemble cast includes Nasim Pedrad, Michael Cassidy, Wyatt Cenac, Ana Gasteyer, Oscar Nuñez, Michael Cassidy, Alice Wetterlund, Luka Jones, Brian Huskey, Nancy Lenehan, Tracee Chimo, Da’Vine Joy Randolph, Björn Gustafsson and Ken Hall.
