VEEP Blu-ray Review

HBO's Veep stands as one of the defining political comedies of the modern era, deftly blending razor-sharp wit, cringe-inducing blunders, and a searing critique of Washington, D.C. Created by Armando Iannucci, Veep is a fast-paced, foul-mouthed satire that captures the relentless ambition and moral bankruptcy of modern politics. At the center of this chaotic storm is Julia Louis-Dreyfus, whose tour-de-force performance as Selina Meyer solidified her status as one of television’s greatest comedic talents. Across seven seasons, Veep not only remained consistently funny but evolved into a biting commentary on the absurdities of power, ambition, and ego. Season 1: The Vice Presidency Blues Veep wastes no time establishing its chaotic tone in Season 1, which introduces us to Selina Meyer (Louis-Dreyfus), the Vice President of the United States—a position that is, as she quickly discovers, largely ceremonial and without influence. Selina is surrounded by a motley crew of incompetent yet

LET'S START A CULT - Trailer and Release Info

Ben Kitnick's Let’s Start a Cult promises to be a quirky and darkly hilarious comedy throwback, featuring a blend of fresh faces and well-established names from the world of stand-up, TV, and film. Leading the charge is stand-up comedian Stavros Halkias, whose Netflix special Fat Rascal has positioned him as a rising force in the comedy scene. This irreverent new feature pairs Halkias with a host of talent in a film that dives headfirst into cult humor, existential road trips, and dysfunctional outcasts. The plot of Let’s Start a Cult centers around a loser who, after missing his cult’s much-anticipated ritual suicide, embarks on a bizarre cross-country adventure. He’s accompanied by his ex-messiah—equally hapless and disillusioned—on a quest to rebuild their doomsday commune. Together, they recruit a band of colorful misfits: a military wannabe, a mentally unstable mom, and a foreign hitchhiker with secrets of his own. What begins as a dark mission to reignite their former cult de
