I’ve had, for some time, the suspicion that the current comedy troop of Rogen, Hill, Cera, and Franco would eventually get to the point where, instead of a script, they would just sit around and talk. Now we have This Is the End, and if this isn’t the logical conclusion of the gang’s comedy, it’s damn close.
The premise is that Jay Baruchel is in LA to visit his friend Seth Rogen. Their friendship has been on the skids, and Rogen’s insistence that they attend a party at James Franco’s house instead of, I don’t know, hang out and smoke weed. doesn’t help. At Franco’s they meet up with Craig Robinson, Jonah Hill, and several others within or slightly out of their group’s ever-expanding radius, such as Aziz Ansari, Mindy Kaling, Martin Starr, Chritopher Mintz-Plasse, and now, I guess, Emma Watson.
Freak disruptions start to occur all over the place — sinkholes swallow up many of the party-goers, others are lifted to heaven in columns of blue light, fires explode across Hollywood, and the five find themselves barricaded in Franco’s house — until Danny McBride shows up and makes their sixth.

For the past year, Cartoon Network’s Adult Swim has been branching into less of the animated comedy and more into live action spoofs. It started by bringing Rob Corddry’s Childrens Hospital from the web to the TV, and continuing with Paul Scheer’s NTSF:SD:SUV::. With Hospital into its third season, it looks like the network’s second spoof is getting some love too.
NTSF has been picked up for a second season, and will continue to rip on shows like 24 and every CSI show on the air. Here’s the official press release for more:
The ratings have consistently built throughout the first season and we love what we’re seeing from the show,” said Mike Lazzo, head of Adult Swim, “and how can you not love SUVs?”

The MPAA is a funny organization. Depending on the director, producer, or studio, it will determine a film’s overall success by slapping it with a rating that could cut its possible audience down to a third.
A few years ago, there was a dispute between the MPAA and Kevin Smith (go figure) about the title of his film, Zach and Miri Make a Porno. The organization wanted to give the film an NC-17 rating based purely on the premise and title, without taking into consideration the fact that it was a satire. After a debate, the film got released with an R rating and everyone was happy (except for those who saw the flick).
Now, another film with an iffy title and premise comes along and gets a hard R rating right out of the cage. We present to you the synopsis for A Good Old Fashioned Orgy.
Jason Sudeikis is Eric, a thirtysomething party animal famous among his close circle of friends for his lavish summer theme parties at his father’s swanky Hamptons pad. But when members of the crew start settling down, and Eric’s dad announces plans to sell the beach house, Eric decides it’s time for one last bash to go out with a proverbial bang—a good old-fashioned orgy. The only obstacles to overcome are actually convincing each of his reluctant friends to join in on the bacchanal, and an inconveniently blossoming romance with the real estate agent threatening to sell the house out from under him before the main event can even take place.
Giving credit where credit’s due, the film looks hilarious. A cast of Sudeikis, Tyler Labine, and Nick Kroll alone is enough to keep the laughs coming. When you add a pending orgy, things only get better.
Check out the first official trailer for the film and catch it when it hits theaters on September 2nd.

A few days ago, we brought you the final trailer for Adult Swim’s newest show, NTSF:SD:SUV::, one that we’re pretty excited about. The premise is that this show is to CSI, NCIS, and 24 like how Childrens Hospital is to Grey’s Anatomy, Private Practice, and House.
With a pretty amazing cast including Kate Mulgrew (Star Trek Voyager), Rebecca Romijn, Rob Riggle, and Martin Starr, the show was a pretty big success here at Comic-Con, as it debuted to a full audience on Thursday during its first panel.
We got the chance to speak with the man who came up with the idea as crazy as this: Paul Scheer. Some may know him from VH1’s I Love series, and some may know him from FX’s The League, but everyone will soon know him as the lovechild of Jack Bauer and Horatio Caine, Trent Hauser.
Paul talks about his inspiration of the show (a pretty tough question), some of the great guest stars he’s got lined up for this season, and thoughts on a possible crossover with the sister show Childrens Hospital.
Take a look at our interview after the jump, and be sure to catch NTSF:SD:SUV:: every Thursday night on Adult Swim.

In proving that they are truly a separate entity than Cartoon Network, Adult Swim has been creating more and more non-animated content such as Robot Chicken, Children’s Hopsital and Eagleheart. Now they’ve got another, new show which spoofs procedural action/dramas called NTSF:SD:SUV
Also known as the National Terrorism Strike Force: San Diego: Sport Utility Vehicle, the team is made up of some of the funniest people working today, such as Paul Scheer, Rob Riggle, and more. Here’s the full breakdown of the show.
In the same vein as Childrens Hospital spoofing medical dramas, NTSF:SD:SUV’s season of 15-minute episodes is ripped from the headlines and full of suspense, action, drama, cliffhangers, yelling, passionate love-making, more yelling, death and plenty of pregnant pauses. NTSF:SD:SUV:: is created by Paul Scheer and stars Scheer, Rebecca Romjin, Rob Riggle, Kate Mulgrew, Brandon Johnson, June Diane Raphael, Martin Starr and S.A.M., the first sentient robot on television.
The first episode is set to debut this Thursday at 12:15 ET/PT on Adult Swim, but we’ve got just enough to get you ready with a brand new extended trailer. Check it out after the jump and keep it here for more coverage of what is sure to be a hilarious new series!

What do Will Ferrell, Danny McBride, Elijah Wood, Jack Black, John C. Reilly, Will Arnett, Susan Sarandon, Rainn Wilson, Seth Rogan, Ted Dansen, Stanley Tucci, and a whole bunch of other named celebrities have in common?
They’re all in a brand new semi-biographical, semi-science fictional short film by The Beastie Boys, about The Beastie Boys, titled Fight For Your Right-Revisited.
The film is done in conjunction with the trio’s highly anticipated eighth album, “Hot Sauce Committee Part Two”, and has got Ferrell, McBride, Black, Reilly, Rogan, and Wood playing both the Beastie Boys from the past and the Beastie Boys from the future.
Expect zany, wacky, convoluted awesomeness when the 30-minute film hits DVD (as well as the the web) when Hot Sauce Committee Part Two hits music stores on May 3. In the meantime, check out the star-studded trailer after the jump.
