What's On Tonight (Friday): Nirvanna the Band the Show the Movie the Blogpost
 |
| Nirvanna the Band the Show the Movie |
Today's Top Pick is the streaming premiere of Nirvanna the Band the Show the Movie. I know next to nothing about the film or the series that spawned it, but it seems to have garnered near universal acclaim from those who saw it (95% Fresh). I have Hulu and I have the next week off so I will be checking it out.
It's a good day for those waiting for theatrical releases to make their streaming premieres. In addition to Nirvanna, we also have Mortal Kombat II and Pressure. I'm not sure there are two films that could be more different beyond the need to suspend belief. In one you have a multi-dimensional super-powered fighting tournament run by gods and in the other you have Brendan Frasier playing Eisenhower.
Frasier also supplies one of the voices for the Tubi original Breaking Bear. It's an animated comedy series about three bears (Frasier, Sarah Michelle Gellar and Josh Gad) who start cooking meth in order to raise money to save their forest. The trailer didn't do much for me (a lot of gross out sex jokes that reminded me of the recent Netflix series Mating Season) but it's got a weirdly stacked voice cast.
Also, Apple has The Dink, a sports comedy about an arrogant professional tennis player (Jake Johnson) who turns to Pickleball while recovering from an injury. The trailer looks funny and somehow they managed to get Ed Harris to play Johnson's overbearing father. I might watch just because the director is also helming the Spaceballs sequel.
⭐🎥 Nirvanna the Band the Show the Movie (Hulu, 12:01 AM) STREAMING PREMIERE. 'When their plan to book a show at the Rivoli goes horribly wrong, Matt and Jay accidentally travel back to the year 2008.'

I'm probably at a Lucero concert at Turner Hall. I'm mod with power again so no problem posting this ahead. Other than it's seven in the morning and Trump hasn't woken up from his likely pointless rant last night. Is he still SCREAMING about 100% tariffs? He needs to be dragged to Wharton, forced to pay attention, and take a test where the answers aren't man woman camera TV.

I'm still having problems with new posts so I dredged up another old post and put some good news on it. Since good news is hard to find this good news was sparked by deaths of four more innocents.[Guardian]

What's On Tonight (Tuesday): Eh, read a book, people!

Tonight's Top Pick is Ms. Pat Settles It, airing at 9 p.m. on BET. Because I just couldn't justify giving it to Bill Maher: The Kennedy Center Mark Twain Prize for American Humor. Or the In The City reunion. Or the season premiere of Kitchen Nightmares. Or the Bravo premiere of The Real Housewives of London. What I'm getting at is that there's a lot of crap scheduled for tonight, so you can easily skip watching TV.

Tonight's Top Pick is "The Dating Game," a new episode of POV airing at 10 p.m. on PBS. Luckily for me, the episode's actually about relationships and not, say, carbon dating.
