Kumail Nanjiani

You know those conversations wherein there’s a distinct moment of “Oh my god, I can’t believe that person just said that?” As a look into what it’s like for a Muslim-born man with a traditional family navigating the world of 21st century relationships, Kumail Nanjiani’s The Big Sick has a couple of those. For example: a hilarious new clip features Ray Romano asking Nanjiani how he feels about 9/11. Engage cringe.

It was only a few short hours ago we learned that HBO’s Silicon Valley would return for Season 5, but Pied Piper will apparently be missing some key components. T.J. Miller has agreed to a mutual exit from the Mike Judge comedy, and won’t return for Season 5.

The Big Sick was one of our favorites at the Sundance and SXSW film festivals this year, and it will probably become one of your favorites too when it hits theaters next month. But you don’t have to wait that long to get a little taste of what makes this movie so wonderful — the first official trailer has arrived for the new rom-com, with a special (and misleading) introduction from stars Kumail Nanjiani and Ray Romano.

Like Veep before it, Silicon Valley is headed back to the office for an April premiere. See Richard designing the new internet in a first full trailer for Season 4, along with a special new poster illustrated by Ghost World creator Daniel Clowes himself.

At the time NBC confirmed Hannibal alum Bryan Fuller to be working on a new iteration of Amazing Stories, the showrunner’s plate seemed exceptionally full. Thankfully, Fuller will have strong writers to lighten the load, now confirmed as everyone from Patton Oswalt to Jane Goldman.

The boys (and girl) of HBO’s Silicon Valley are about to take Pied Piper back to the drawing board once again. After last week’s premiere announcement, HBO has rebooted a first trailer for the Mike Judge comedy’s fourth season, along with a new photo.

Just days ago saw HBO announcing when Selina Meyer would begin her post-Veep career in Season 6, and so too do the boys of Silicon Valley now have their marching orders. Pied Piper will be back for Season 4 in April, albeit a bit later than their former Commander in Chief.

Yesterday, a brief partial trailer for a full-length trailer (itself a partial-length version of the full-length movie) arrived online in promotion of The Lego Ninjago Movie, the latest spinoff of the Lego Movie franchise more recently expanded with The Lego Batman Movie. It gave us a brief preview of the design of the land of Ninjago, a block-built utopia wth Eastern influences that superficially resembles Tokyo. But today, we’ll get a fuller look at the new world in which this film takes place, and the scrappy little figurines that populate it as well.

There’s always a stupid reason why the couple in a romantic comedy can’t be together until the closing credits. An ex-girlfriend or boyfriend appears at the most narratively conveniently moment, or one of the leads becomes a ghost, or there’s a misunderstanding that could easily be cleared up if the characters just sat and talked to one another for literally 15 seconds. One of the best things about The Big Sick is that the obstacles (plural, there are several) facing this relationship are real and relatable and believable and hugely serious.

HBO has a lot to look forward to in 2017, including the returns of both Game of Thrones and Curb Your Enthusiasm, but if British men shouting is your thing, they’ve got you covered too. Welcome back John Oliver for 2017, as HBO goes all-out with the hits to promote Last Week Tonight Season 4.
