The original Joe Dirt, that classic fable about a janitor with a mullet wig attached to his skull, is essentially a road trip movie. It’s about David Spade as the eponymous Joe Dirt, traveling around the country in an attempt to find the parents who abandoned him at the Grand Canyon as a child. For Crackle’s Joe Dirt 2: Beautiful Loser, Spade and director Fred Wolf (both of whom co-wrote the script) have decided to raise the stakes by introducing one of the most difficult road trip obstacles anyone can face: time travel. As seen in this trailer, Dirt finally has the family he’s always wanted, but when an unfortunate tornado somehow drops him into 1965, he has to figure out how to get back home without altering the timeline too much. Along the way, he runs into Dennis Miller and Christopher Walken reprising their roles from ...

The adaptation of The Dark Tower fled across the desert, and Ron Howard followed. Despite its many starts and stops, the long-gestating project is back on track—for now, anyway—and in addition to a new studio and a new script, the project now has a new director in its sights. Deadline reports Danish director Nikolaj Arcel (A Royal Affair) is being offered the job of helming the first installment in a massively ambitious translation of Stephen King’s The Dark Tower series. Hopefully, this news will last long enough to once more get our hopes up, before the whole thing falls apart for the umpteenth time.

Arcel, who also write the screenplay for the original The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo, would oversee a rewrite of the script, and shoot the first in what would be a series of films. The initial movie will feature a story adapted from ...

A couple of weeks ago, the internet was gifted with a new video from Mikal Cronin. Directed by and starring Kurt Braunohler and Kristen Schaal, the clip was a semi-accurate recreation of Natalie Imbruglia’s “Torn,” right down to Schaal’s shaggy little haircut.

Now, there’s a new Mikal Cronin video, and it’s every bit as nostalgic, and creative. Directed by and starring Jonah Ray, the clip is a witty recreation of the beloved video for Paul Simon’s “You Can Call Me Al,” right down to the exaggerated hand movements. Ray plays Chevy Chase to Mikal Cronin’s Simon—at least until some other comedians get involved and things get a little bloody. It’s a fun clip, especially for fans of both the original video and Cronin.

MCIII is out now on Merge.

Jerry Seinfeld’s ongoing effort to distill human existence into the only three things he actually likes—coffee, classic cars, and a relentless stream of witty asides with funny people—is continuing for another year, with Crackle releasing a trailer for the upcoming sixth season of Comedians In Cars Getting Coffee. This year, Seinfeld is chatting and sipping with some of the biggest names in comedy, including his old co-star Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Jim Carrey, and a heavily bearded Stephen Colbert, sounding enormously relieved to be taking a break from having to “shovel words into a lens.”

Unsurprisingly, there’s nothing new about the show’s formula this season—people drive, people drink, people quip—but it’ll be interesting to see how Seinfeld’s permanently detached energy interacts with the boisterousness of a Steve Harvey, for example, or Carrey’s never-controlled glee. Also, it’ll be worth watching to see ...

"We received a message from the enemy saying 'we are on 8/9 wins for trials of osiris please let us win,'" the video's description states. "So this is what we did..."

The three-person Trials of Osiris team pretended to throw the match, and of course the other team didn't expect the Warlocks to self-revive and take them out with the quickness of a sudden middle finger. As trolls go this is pretty light, but it's still an amusing watch.

In other Warlock news, this is why you make sure you're clear before the tea-bag.

You never know when your target has a self-revive waiting for you, even if they look dead. Always be careful around Warlocks, my friends. Always.

Netflix has released its first batch of cast photos from its Wet Hot American Summer prequel series, Wet Hot American Summer: First Day Of Camp, which, as the title implies, takes place on the first day at Camp Firewood ’81. As expected, the photos feature lots of funny people, some of whom are big movie and TV stars, having fun in outfits sourced from the ironic ’80s wear section of the local Salvation Army. Many of the new cast members, like Mad Men’s John Slattery and Jon Hamm, aren‘t featured in the initial batch of photos, but we already know they make it to the end of camp in one piece, so it’s fine. (Unless they’re lepers.)

Wet Hot American Summer: First Day Of Camp will deliver 10 episodes’ worth of quotable lines on July 17—a date that it can’t change, presumably because it ...
