Dan Levy’s new crime comedy, Big Mistakes, follows two deeply incapable siblings who are blackmailed into the world of organized crime. The eight-episode series promises a hilariously chaotic ride, a dysfunctional family dynamic, and dark comedy with a unique twist. The creator and star of the Emmy-winning Schitt’s Creek is returning to television with this new Netflix comedy.

Netflix just revealed the title and the key details of the series. Levy stars as one of the siblings, Nicky, alongside Taylor Ortega as Morgan, his equally hapless sister. This marks Levy’s first scripted series under his overall deal with Netflix, following his successful directorial debut with Good Grief.

Over five years after Schitt’s Creek ended, Dan Levy’s upcoming comedy series Big Mistakes is set to bring together another all-star cast for the actor/director. WhileSchitt’s Creek eventually abandoned its original premise and this made the cult sitcom even better, Dan Levy’s show always had a great hook.

The cult series followed the Rose family, disgraced former multi-millionaires who relocated to the eponymous rural town after losing their fortune. There, they acclimated to a simpler life as Schitt’s Creek made Johnny Rose, his wife Moira, and their children David and Alexis more likable and relatable with each passing season.

Oklahoma auteur Mickey Reece is back at Fantasia 2025 with his latest work of outsider art, in the neon-tinged ‘80s-infused cyber thriller, Every Heavy Thing. Joe (Josh Fadem) lives a pretty milquetoast life in Hightown City , USA. Peddling ads in the local alt weekly mag by day, waiting at home for his longtime girlfriend Lux (Tipper Newton) to finish her nurse shift at the hospital by night. When co-worker Paul (Chris Freihofer) asks if he wants to come out and see sultry chanteuse Whitney Bluewill (Barbara Crampton) at the jazz club, Joe has no excuse not to go.

Fresh off the film’s premiere at the Fantasia Film Festival last night, the official trailer has arrived for Mickey Reece’s (Climate of the Hunter) genre-bending film Every Heavy Thing.

Horror legend Barbara Crampton is part of a cast including Vera Drew, John Ennis, Josh Fadem, Tipper Newton, and James Urbaniak.

Fantasia previews, “Mickey Reece’s distinctively absurdist humour has long left its imprint on Fantasia audiences through cult favourites like Country Gold, Agnes and Climate of the Hunter. With his latest feature, Reece returns with a pitch-black comedy set against the unsettling backdrop of a string of disappearances, with local women vanishing without a trace.

“The film follows Josh Fadem as Joe, an unassuming office worker at an online periodical who becomes entangled in a conspiracy after witnessing a murder. As a colleague begins to investigate, Joe struggles to conceal the truth, as his carefully constructed life falls apart.

Mickey Reece has carved a niche for himself in indie cinema, exploring different genres with his distinctive and idiosyncratic lens. His latest, Every Heavy Thing, sees him tackle yet another genre, crafting an impressively immersive thriller that captures the essence of the genre in a way that few other filmmakers have been able to achieve.

Every Heavy Thing Review

Every Heavy Thing follows an office worker for a small-town alt-weekly as he gets caught up in a conspiracy involving disappearing women when he accidentally witnesses a murder. The film feels fresh and unique because of how frequently it subverts expectations, from revealing what seems like it would have been its big reveal in the first act to its unique aesthetic and style that blends genres and references.

Reece’s film is a true oddity — a movie that both feels like a relic of the past and strangely zeitgeisty. It’s...

Austin, TX – The SXSW Conference and Festivals wrapped on March 19th, after 10 days of magic and Austin wackiness, showcasing film, TV, interactive, conferences, interviews and music. The Film & TV Fest named “Raging Grace” as the top Narrative Feature and “Grown” as top TV Pilot.

“Raging Grace” was written and directed by Paris Zarcilla, telling the story of a Filipina house cleaner and her young daughter, with the jury noting its “heady blend of horror, history, and midnight humor announcing the arrival of an exciting new filmmaking talent.” The TV Pilot “Grown” focuses on a teenage boy attempting to move forward after losing his father, and the jury said it was “a coming-of-age story told with heart and visually realized with polish and verve.”

This year’s South by Southwest Film & TV Festival has officially unveiled the 2023 winners list.

With buzzy titles such as “Bottoms,” “Beef,” “Swarm,” and “Air” debuting at the festival, the 2023 conference in Austin, Texas proved to be a memorable time. “What an extraordinary week of film and TV premieres here at SXSW, and there is more to come through Saturday,” Claudette Godfrey, VP, Flm & TV, said. “Our theaters have been brimming with enthusiastic audiences celebrating the exceptional and diverse work in our lineup, and we’re so excited to celebrate this year’s jury and special award winners!”

The Narrative Feature Competition, presented by Panavision, bestowed the top honor to “Raging Grace,” written and directed by Paris Zarcilla.

Two days after ”Everything Everywhere All at Once“ won seven Oscars, including best picture, the SXSW Film Festival, where Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert’s movie launched last year, has announced its own awards. To be clear, “Eeaao” was a studio-backed opening night premiere (not one of the smaller movies launched in competition at the indie-focused fest), but you can still feel the excitement in Austin around the landmark Oscar win. After all, SXSW was the first festival to take Daniels seriously, awarding them top prize for their Battles music video (“My Machines”) in 2012.

Will any of the movies or directors screening here this year go on to change film history?

With five days still to go at SXSW, the juries convened to present the winners.

Narrative feature honors went to writer-director Paris Zarcilla’s “Raging Grace.” On the surface, the tense story of an undocumented Filipina house cleaner and...

Criminal Minds: Evolution showrunner Erica Messer explains why it's harder for characters like Reid to return in the Paramount+ reboot. Taking a serialized approach to its storytelling, Criminal Minds: Evolution season 1 recently concluded its run. The revived version of the long-running drama series focused on the attempt to capture Voit (Zach Gilford), but it also featured a bit of romance, more humor, and a closer look at the lives of the Bau agents. It's a shift facilitated by the show's move to streaming, which has allowed for more narrative risks.

But, for all the benefits of streaming, it has meant a shorter episode count. While a typical season of the original Criminal Minds on CBS ran as high as 26 episodes, only dipping lower towards the end, Criminal Minds: Evolution consists of just ten. Messer explained to TVLine that the smaller number of episodes made it more difficult to bring back...

King Knight stars Matthew Gray Gubler, Angela Sarafyan, and Andy Milonakis will be in Select Theaters, On Demand & Digital February 17th. Here’s the trailer:

In King Knight, Thorn (Criminal Minds’ Matthew Gray Gubler) and Willow appear to have it all as the revered high priest and priestess of a coven of new age witches. But a secret from Thorn’s past throws their lives into turmoil and sends them on a trippy, hilarious journey.

King Knight stars Matthew Gray Gubler, Angela Sarafyan, Andy Milonakis, Kate Comer, Johnny Pemberton, Josh Fadem, Nelson Franklin, Emily Chang, Ronnie Gene Blevins, Swati Kapila, Shane Brady, AnnaLynne McCord, Alice Glass, with Barbara Crampton, and Ray Wise

The post Here’s the Trailer For King Knight starring Matthew Gray Gubler – In Select Theaters, On Demand & Digital February 17th appeared first on We Are Movie Geeks.

Richard Bates Jr.’s King Knight has an approximation of many things: humor, story, idiosyncrasy, character depth and likeability, production design, dialogue, cinematography, the concepts of witchcraft and self-actualization, and a basic sense of stakes or danger. Its half-formed regard for narrative and form are the haphazard basis of the director’s fifth feature, a superficial take on a hero’s journey that comes off like an unfinished script—an almost-film.

In King Knight, Matthew Gray Gubler (whose visage fits naturally into that of a cult leader) stars as Thorn––the quirky, not-evil, bird bath-selling high priest of a modern-day witches’ coven made up in its entirety of characters played by comedy actors Andy Milonakis, Kate Comer, Nelson Franklin, Johnny Pemberton, and Josh Fadem. Thorn wants to start a family with his life partner Willow (Angela Sarafyan), who’s reluctant to cow to his whims. As their Pagan fertility ritual of Beltane commences,...

This writer has been fortunate to have covered all of Richard Bates Jr.’s films ever since he exploded onto the scene in 2012 with his stunner, Excision. Ricky’s latest project is King Knight, which follows the high priest of a modern-day coven (played hilariously by Matthew Gray Gubler), who finds himself dealing with a bit of an existential crisis after he gets invited to attend his 20th high school reunion.

Also written by Bates Jr., King Knight features a brilliant ensemble featuring the likes of the aforementioned Gubler, as well as Angela Sarafayan, Barbara Crampton, Ray Wise, Andy Milonakis, Emily Change, Kate Comer, Nelson Franklin, Josh Fadem, Johnny Pemberton, and Swati Kapila.

Stars: Matthew Gray Gubler, Andy Milonakis, Johnny Pemberton, Angela Sarafyan, Barbara Crampton, Ray Wise, Kate Comer, Emily Chang, Josh Fadem, Swati Kapila, Shane Brady | Written and Directed by Richard Bates Jr.

The latest genre opus from Richard Bates Jr., whose previous work includes Excision, Trash Fire and Tone Deaf, King Knight reunites Bates with his Suburban Gothic star Matthew Gray Gubler in yet another twisted slice of American life tale that Bates is known for – quirky, strange and otherworldly… in this case focussing on witches?!

What makes a good witch nowadays? A deep sense of spirituality and communion with nature? Devotion to a tight-knit group of like-minded free spirits? A successful Etsy shop and a sick set of Tarot cards? Living the dream alongside his beautiful life partner Willow (Angela Sarafyan), the revered high priest of a modern Californian coven, Thorn (Matthew Gray Gubler) has it all… as well as...

We’re all good people, but we’re full of shit. Or, as the characters in King Knight say, we all have “poo in our butts”. We’re all imperfect human beings, some more malicious than others, and it’s the outsider who receives the brunt of that malice. Writer-director Richard Bates Jr. looks at the outsider with a dark sense of humor and with a farcical approach, creating one of the best comedies of the year. While looking at religion, conservatives, and society in general, King Knight aims to present Wicca in a positive light. It succeeds, leading to a journey of acceptance and rebirth.

Thorn (Matthew Gray Gubler) is a witch, but not evil, he explains. His life partner Willow (Angela Sarafyan) is a registered nurse and supports his dream of starting a birdbath business. In this introduction to himself and his coven, he also clarifies that the...

Spoiler Alert: Do not read if you have not yet watched the sixth episode of “Better Call Saul” Season 5, titled “Wexler v. Goodman.”

Selling the dramatic cliffhanger at the end of Monday night’s episode of “Better Call Saul,” titled “Wexler v. Goodman,” proved a challenge for even star Bob Odenkirk. In a lively chat on “Variety After-Show” on Instagram — where Odenkirk answered questions from fans — following the episode’s airing, he also revealed that one of the season’s last two remaining episodes was particularly taxing.

“I almost got killed doing one of these episodes. Just shooting the entire thing almost killed me,” he said.

“Our initial reaction with a lot of things is, ‘Oh my God, that’s a spoiler! That’s gonna give away everything!’ And then we sort of talk ourselves down and remember no one has any sense of anything that happens in the room. It’s all going to be fresh and weird and new,” Fleischmann told IndieWire. “And so showing the room as a jungle is not, it’s not a spoiler, it’s really alluring and it’s weird. I think the fun part is that it’s much more than ‘the room is filled with green.

TV show description:

From creators Robert Funke and Matt Lutsky, the On Becoming a God in Central Florida TV show is a dark comedy set in the world of multi-level marketing, or Mlm. The series explores the cultish aspects of Mlm and how people get caught up in their pursuit of more.

Unfolding near Orlando, Florida in 1992, On...

The cast and creative team behind the Showtime series “On Becoming a God in Central Florida” discussed the impact that multi-level marketing schemes during a panel at the Television Critics Association summer press tour on Friday.

Set in a small Orlando-adjacent town in 1992, the series follows Krystal Stubbs (Dunst), a minimum-wage water park employee who lies, schemes and cons her way up the ranks of Founders American Merchandise (Fam) — the cultish, flag-waving, multibillion-dollar pyramid scheme that drove her to ruin in the first place, run by the powerful Obie Garbeau II (Ted Levine).

“These kinds of schemes are all about people being asked to monetize their relationships,” showrunner Esta Spalding said. “What’s heartbreaking is not only the debt and the loss…The losses become familial as well.”

“Everyone on this show wants something more in their life but there is no way they could do that making minimum wage in 1992,” she continued.

HBO has set Friday, September 13 for the 12-episode third season of its late-night, comedy anthology series Room 104, from Jay and Mark Duplass.

Room 104 tells unique and unexpected tales of the characters who pass through a single room of a typical American chain motel. While the room stays the same, every episode of the series features a different story, with the tone, plot, characters, and even the time period, changing with each installment.

Tapping into a variety of genres, from dark comedy to poignant drama to musical romance, the stories and characters featured in season 3 include: a man searching for a cure to his chronic skin condition; the caretaker of an exotic animal looking to make a sale; estranged siblings reuniting to make an investment; and more.

Season 3 cast includes Luke Wilson, Christine Woods, Eric Edelstein, Robert Longstreet, Dale Dickey, Tom Woodruff Jr., Arturo Castro,...

Kirsten Dunst blinds an all-seeing pyramid in a new trailer for On Becoming a God in Central Florida.

Pyramid schemes didn't start with the Illuminati and didn't end with Amway. Showtime's new series, On Becoming A God in Central Florida, shows the cult of free enterprise is alive and thriving in the southeast land of the mouse. Kirsten Dunst stars as a water park worker who floats to the top in the 10-episode comedy.

Set in 1992, Dunst's character, Krystal Stubbs, lives in the Orlando area. Struggling to make ends meet as a minimum wage worker at a rundown water park, she drinks the kool-aid of multilevel marketing scams. She gets duped by Founders American Enterprise (Fam), a cult-like company which has already brainwashed most of her community with their promises of an “A-list, six-star, jet-set lifestyle," and decides to beat them at their own game.

The pilot was directed by Charlie McDowell.

Kirsten Dunst is a fake-tanned, neon-garb-wearing business woman in the trailer for Showtime’s “On Becoming a God in Central Florida.” And she just wants to “f—ing scream.”

The Kirsten Dunst-led dark comedy series “On Becoming a God in Central Florida” is moving to its third network home.

The one-hour series has been acquired by Showtime after it had previously been ordered to series at YouTube Premium while having first been in development at AMC. The nine-episode first season is set to debut on Aug. 25 at 10 p.m. Et on Showtime.

The series stars Dunst, Théodore Pellerin, Beth Ditto, Mel Rodriguez, and Ted Levine. Robert Funke and Matt Lutsky created and executive produce the series. George Clooney and Grant Heslov also executive produce under their Smokehouse Pictures banner along with Dunst, Charlie McDowell, and Esta Spalding. Spalding also serves as showrunner while McDowell directed the pilot. Sony’s TriStar TV will produce.

The series was a passion project for the late Suzanne Patmore Gibbs, who was the head of TriStar TV at the time of her death last March.

Showtime has picked up On Becoming A God in Central Florida, a one-hour dark comedy series starring Kirsten Dunst. The project, from George Clooney and Grant Heslov’s Smokehouse Pictures and Sony’s TriStar Television, was ordered to series last year by YouTube to debut this year.

Sony TV started conversations about moving the show elsewhere earlier this year, following the Google-owned company’s programming shift that involves making all original series, originally earmarked for Svod platform YouTube Red/Premium, available as Avod offerings, as well as putting a pin in all new scripted development. According to sources, YouTube and Sony TV were not able to negotiate an Avod deal for On Becoming a God in Central Florida. YouTube Originals’ brass, who are said to be proud of the show, then worked closely with Sony TV to find a new home for it. Sony TV also has hit Cobra Kai at YouTube,...

Showtime has acquired the dark comedy “On Becoming a God in Central Florida” which stars Kirsten Dunst, who will also executive produce with George Clooney.

Dunst stars as Krystal Gill, an Orlando water park employee who schemes her way to the top of a pyramid scheme called Founders American Merchandise, which previously bankrupted her. The series will take place in the early 1990s. Along with Dunst, the series stars Théodore Pellerin, Beth Ditto, Mel Rodriguez and Ted Levine.

Starring Vanessa Hudgens (High School Musical), Alan Tudyk (Rogue One: A Star Wars Story), Danny Pudi (Community), Christina Kirk (A to Z), Ron Funches (Undatable), Kate Miccuci (Don’t Think Twice) and Josh Fadem (30 Rock), Powerless follows the employees of Wayne Security, a subsidiary of Wayne Enterprises, that specializes in products for the defenseless, Aka the powerless, to make them feel safer.

The new "Twin Peaks" isn't slated to debut on Showtime until 2017, but a flurry of speculation about it happened last week with a tweet from Go For Locations indicating that filming had wrapped on the "first two seasons" of the series.
