Report for Thursday, June 18th

How about some TV News. If you’ve never seen Dead to Me, starring Christina Applegate and Linda Cardellini on Netflix, you should check it out. They are currently shooting Season 3. A little sidebar, when I was at KROQ, and Christina was doing Married with Children when she turned 16, and being a big KROQ fan, she invited the KROQ jocks to her 16th B-Day party. What a treat and a great girl. … Just getting a green light – Dopesick. It’s an 8 episode limited series on Hulu about the Opioid epidemic that takes us from a distressed Virginia mining town to the DEA. Dopesick will star Michael Keaton as a doctor caught up in the crisis. Hulu original. … ABC has released their fall schedule and it is loaded with unscripted shows including,  Dancing With The Stars, The Bachelorette, Shark Tank, 20-20, Saturday Night Football, AFV, Super Market Sweepstakes, and Who Wants To be a Millionaire.  

The Friends Special is a go, the cast have the scripts and there’s talk of some shocking surprises. Everybody is on board, even Mathew Perry who was spotted for the first time in weeks, coming out of Rx store, still 30 lbs over weight and wearing pajamas.

And coming to Hulu and on demand next month, the movie, Palm Springs. Honestly, one of the funniest movies you will ever see. With Andy Samberg, Cristin Milioti and JK Simmons. This reeks of Groundhog Day, since they keep living the same day over and over but with different results while attending a wedding they don’t want to be at. This is wacky, crazy, zany, and I guarantee you’ll love it. P.S. the movie out next month. 

Quick Movie Scoop: Showrunner is pitching a biopic of Dolly Parton. Stay tuned.  

Odds and Ends: HBO didn’t make any friends when they covered up a Kobe Bryant tribute billboard to promote themselves! Public outrage had Kobe back up in 2 days. … Looks like most theaters in the U.S., England and Canada will re-open the 4th of July.  Theaters in Japan, Denmark, Netherlands and France are already opening with distancing.
