Watch An Interview With ‘The Babadook’!

by Derek Kraneveldt

Briefly: As a huge fan of last year’s The Babadook (it was one of my favourite films of 2014), this was too hilarious not to share.

Funny or Die has just released an exclusive interview with Mister Babadook himself, and it’s pretty fantastic (well, the host is a little over-the-top, but other than that it’s golden).

Take a look at the interview below, and let us know if you loved the film as much as I did!

Go Behind the Scenes in This Boyhood Featurette

by jake108

Anyone who was lucky enough to catch Boyhood in a theater near them isn’t surprised to hear the film come up in Oscar buzz. Linklater was able to craft a film in a truly unorthodox fashion and, whether you liked the film or not, the process of building this world is something to behold.

Boyhood is available now in theaters and for digital download.

We couldn’t be more excited; Riki Lindhome (Gilmore Girls, House, Big Bang Theory, The Nerdist) and Kate Micucci (Scrubs, Raising Hope, Big Bang Theory) have signed a pilot deal with IFC for their folk-comedy sketch act, Garfunkel and Oates. The series is expected to premiere in 2014, joining IFC’s small but critically acclaimed roster of comedies: Portlandia, Maron and The Spoils of Babylon.

Garfunkel and Oates–the name derived from “two famous rock-and-roll bananas,” Art Garfunkel and John Oates–is a cult favorite, known for its satirical and often lewd lyrics. The act has appeared on the Jay Leno Show as well as numerous life concerts, including Jack Black’s upcoming Festival Supreme in Santa Monica, CA on October 19th.

The show will keep its musical bent as it follows the misadventures of the titular characters, a la Flight of Concords.

You can check out videos and download songs at the Garfunkel and Oates website.

Garfunkel and Oates had previously penned a pilot deal with HBO but the network declined to go to series.

The series is produced by Abominable Pictures, with Lindhome, Micucci and Jonathon Stern (Children’s Hospital) set as executive producers.

R. Kelly Continues The ‘Trapped In The Closet’ Saga!

by T.Tonnu

Today, while watching Fido on IFC, a trailer for R. Kelly’s Trapped in the Closet popped up onto the screen. The teaser didn’t divulge much, except that the saga is to continue this fall, so I obviously had to do a little digging. Prior to this serendipitous moment, I had no idea R. Kelly planned on adding to his Trapped in the Closet series, but I sure am glad I do now…

This amazing tale has already been going on 22 chapters strong, and now Sylvester (R. Kelly), Rufus, Cathy, Gwendolyn, Bridget, Big Man, Rosie the Nosy Neighbor, Twan and Pimp Lucius are back for another 22! The first part of the hip hopera has been humorous, dramatic, and definitely full of cliffhangers, I’m sure the next installment won’t disappoint either. The storyline will continue on IFC, perhaps mid-November, as R. Kelly progresses the narrative forward, either clarifying it or complicating it even more. 

Be sure to keep an eye out for one of the most epic tales of mystery an intrigue on IFC:
