In new Bradley Cooper-directed comedy/drama, Is This Thing On?, Will Arnett is Alex, a man of middle age who’s facing divorce and seeking purpose in the NYC comedy scene.

Laura Dern, Bradley Cooper, Andra Day and Sean Hayes are among the key cast.

Hello, very good looking film.

I love that this trailer combines a handful of my favourite things, including:

  1. Funnyman Will Arnett.
  2. Will Arnett’s great voice.
  3. Will Arnett in a dramatic role (loved him in Flaked (2016-2017).
  4. Will Arnett doing what looks like a stellar job of playing a stand-up comic.

Outside of my arguably intense appreciation of Arnett, I’m also excited for a new Bradley Cooper film. More so because the main character is a professional comedian. After all, rarely does a day go by without a joke by one of my favourite comics replaying in my mind and helping to make my day.

Are you in?

Reggie Conquest, Ciarán Hinds, Swanmy Sampaio, Christine Ebersole, Amy Sedaris and Derek Gaines also star.

Andra Day, Natasha Lyonne, Trevante Rhodes and Garrett Hedlund are the stars of director Lee Daniels’s latest music/biography/drama, The United States vs. Billie Holiday.

The story follows the American soul/jazz singer during her career as she’s targeted by the Federal Department of Narcotics with an undercover sting operation. An operation led by Federal Agent Jimmy Fletcher, a man with whom Holiday had a tumultuous affair.

I knew Holiday was targeted by the Federal Department of Narcotics but I didn’t know that an ex-lover was the one behind it.

Even though I’m not very familiar with Holiday’s music, I’m into her boldness, style, strength and unique voice. Plus, it looks like a good performance by all, especially Day is coming our way.

Lastly, I can’t say that I don’t suddenly have an urge to start wearing flowers in my hair.

Tyler James Williams, Evan Ross, Rob Morgan, Tone Bell, Da’Vine Joy Randolph, Dana Gourrier, Melvin Gregg, Erik LaRay Harvey, Miss Lawrence and Tristan D. Lalla also star.

The United States vs. Billie Holiday Release Dates: February 26th, 2021 (US); March 12th, 2021 (UK), Internet…
