There’s a new ‘Game Night’ trailer and we honestly can’t wait for this movie

Annie (Rachel McAdams) and Max (Jason Bateman) might be in over their heads this Game Night. A new trailer introduces us to the film’s central couple, who met at bar trivia and love regular game nights – until Brooks (Kyle Chandler) hosts one that goes too far.

The new trailer also gives us a little more of Jesse Plemons’ ambiguously antagonistic presence (Landry and Coach reunion!). It looks like he was part of the group until his wife left him, but did she leave because she had moved on or because he might be some kind of murderer? Unclear! Some scenes from previous trailers have been extended, and new jokes promise a movie that doesn’t give away all its best gags in the trailers. Read more…

Matthew Lewis has been working with his heroes for decades. The Harry Potter actor who played Neville (and later, hot!Neville) grew up in front of the camera and spent 10 years growing up at wizarding school for the world to see. 

On Jan. 29, his new British comedy Girlfriends debuts on Acorn TV, uniting him once again on-screen with thespian royalty – including some Potter alumni.

Lewis met writer Kate Mellor when he was five years old and this is the first time since then that they’ve worked together. Mellor explained the mission of the show – about three aging gal pals – and why she wanted to make it. Throughout a career in television and film, Mellor saw women play wives, daughters, sisters, secretaries. She wanted to write something that would be the opposite, with men as the supporting pieces to women – and to women of a certain age. Read more…

Disgraced comedian Bill Cosby is back on stage in Philadelphia Monday night — even with a pending re-trial for a sexual assault case scheduled for April.

Cosby, 80, announced the last-minute performance at LaRose Jazz Club on Facebook as the event started. It was framed as a “return” to the stage as part of a tribute night. The announcement said, “Bill Cosby will honor his fans with a historic performance…”

Photos and videos of the “surprise” performance started trickling in online, and show the former actor wearing a “Hello Friend” sweatshirt. Read more…

Netflix announced a new comedy series called Everything Sucks! coming to the streaming platform in February, and in case you couldn’t tell, it’s set in a high school in the ’90s.

Everything Sucks! will focus on two groups of high schoolers — the A.V. club and the drama club — in 1996 Oregon. Netflix describes the series as a quirky, funny coming of age story, and the trailer has a whole bunch of references to life in the ’90s, including Walkman CD players and VHS tapes.

All 10 episodes of the show will be available to stream on Feb. 16. Read more…

Following allegations of sexual misconduct against Louis C.K., Disney is taking active steps to cut ties with the comedian.

On Thursday, The Hollywood Reporter confirmed that Disney redubbed C.K.’s voiceover in re-runs of the animated series Gravity Falls.

The comedian did voice work for 2015 and 2016 episodes of the series: “Weirdmageddon: Part 1,” and “Weirdmageddon: Part 3.”

He played The Horrifying Sweaty One-Armed Monstrosity — a massive head with an arm coming out of it — and said problematic things like, “I want to talk to you about going inside my mouth,” as in the clip below. Yikes. Read more…
