Even though it has been
nominated for the Emmy Awards twice for Outstanding Variety Sketch Series,
there’s a pretty good chance you might have missed a certain cable series from
producers Fred Armisen, Bill Hader, Seth Meyers and Rhys Thomas.
After all, there is just
so much time in the day and those “500 channels” hum along 24/7 and upon seeing
the title Documentary Now! in the cable listings it might not be an
attention grabber for you.
Documentaries can be a tad dry and usually targeted for a specific
audience.
Documentary Now! is not what you think. If you thought Spinal Tap, A
Mighty Wind and Best in Show were hilarious as
muckumentaries, then Documentary Now! is something that
you are going to want to discover!
And coincidently, Mill
Creek Entertainment has just announced that double-disc DVD and Blu-ray
helpings of Documentary Now! have been added to its Aug. 7 price-to-collect
release calendar featuring the first two seasons. How convenient is that!!
All 14 episodes from the
series first two seasons are included here.
Each “documentary” is hosted by Helen Mirren and features Fred Armisen
and Bill Hader, plus guest stars, which include the likes of Anne Hathaway, Jack
Black, Faye Dunaway, Mia Farrow, Peter Fonda and filmmakers Paul Thomas Anderson
and Cameron Crowe … and more!
You can now get the
details — with tongue firmly planted in cheek — on all of the juicy stories
that didn’t happen!!!
