If you are fan of alternative comedy or anything funny imported from Canada, then you love to learn that Kids in the Hall are set to return to television with Deadline reporting this week that Amazon Prime will bring the show back for an 8 episode run. ‘Saturday Night Live’ producer Lorne Michaels will help bring it all together.
In May of last year, the Kids were honored at the Canadian Screen Awards honored the cast for their comedic accomplishments and teased the idea of getting the gang back together.
Their odd, hilarious, and influential TV show that ran on HBO and CBS from 1988 to 1994, are getting back together. In 1996, the group released the wildly weird movie ‘Brain Candy’ which satirized antidepressants. In 2010, they did a short-run series called ‘Death Comes to Town’ on CBC up north.

You can get drunk and embarrass yourself or you can do it this way….which is also embarrassing.
Maybe one of the most well-known reoccurring sketches from KITH was this odd man who would close one eye and focus his vision to ‘crush’ people with his fingers. It’s ridiculous but it’s the calling card of the show.
Canadians have always had a good knack for making fun of the foibles of Americans. This bit perfectly makes fun of things that are maybe not that important.
Do you anyone named Dave? Well you can share this with them.
Some kids are very annoying and know how to pester you with so many questions, and then there is Gavin.

We all get excited right after we get our license. This guy was texting his friend to tell him the good news, then looked up. Instead of hitting these folks, he drove off the bridge.
He doesn’t have a car… but he still has a license I guess…

Variety reported this week that the next James Bond film ‘No Time To Die’ has been delayed to a November release due to concerns over the global outbreak of corona virus. The film which stars Daniel Craig was scheduled for an international release on April 2nd and a U.S. release on April 10th but due to so many theaters being closed in major movie-consuming countries like South Korea, Italy and others dealing with a lot of theater closures, the spring time release for the blockbuster franchise just did not seem feasible. You can catch the movie in theaters on November 25, 2020.
The film produced by MGM and Eon Studios cost a report $200 million to produce and even more money just to market. so maybe waiting for a time when getting people out to a theater without restrictions is a good business idea. Remember even if you don’t like Bond movies, this a massive series for worldwide movie audiences.
