By Shaina Pearlman at 10:00 AM on December 21, 2012

Seth Rogen’s directorial debut and apocalypse comedy, This is the End, will hit theaters next summer, and the first teaser trailer has premiered just in time for the actual apocalypse. The storyline is very similar to what’s been rumored to play out tonight: an end-of-the-world party hosted by James Franco gets interrupted by the actual apocalypse. In addition to Franco, Rogen will be joined by his usual collaborators, Jonah Hill, Jay Baruchel and Paul Rudd, as well as some new faces like Emma Watson and Rihanna—who will all be playing fictionalized versions of themselves.

Eastbound & Down Review: "Chapter 20" (Episode 3.07)

By Garrett Martin at 11:00 AM on April 10, 2012

Danny McBride has recently hedged a little bit about whether or not this is the last season of Eastbound & Down. That was once the plan, and you can tell, based on how many characters have reappeared this year. Because society just couldn’t bear not getting one last tiny taste of Will Ferrell’s weird Ric Flair impersonation....  read more

Eastbound & Down Review: "Chapter 16" (Episode 3.03)

By Garrett Martin at 10:30 PM on March 4, 2012

I’ve known Eastbound & Down is special since the first episode of the first season. The pilot ended with one of the most intense coke-sniffing scenes on TV, as Kenny Powers (Danny McBride) and his bartender friend Clegg (Ben Best) furiously cut and snorted line after line. It made it clear that Eastbound wouldn’t flinch in showing just how sordid Kenny’s life can get, while proving that it could be disturbing and hilarious at the same time....  read more

Eastbound & Down Review: "Chapter 15" (Episode 3.02)

By Garrett Martin at 10:30 PM on February 26, 2012

Two memorable characters return in tonight’s Eastbound & Down. One of them, Stevie Janowski (Steve Little), is absolutely crucial to the show, as much as anybody who isn’t Danny McBride could be. The other, Ashley Schaeffer (Will Ferrell), can be a point of contention among fans. Is Will Ferrell’s flamboyant car dealer a necessary foil to Kenny Powers, a rival who’s even more arrogant and horrible than Powers, thus making our hero slightly more likable in comparison? Or is he an over-the-top cartoon that turns Eastbound into a bad comedy sketch whenever he appears?...  read more
