WEDNESDAY SEASON 2 (2025): The Things I Liked…

18 Comments

I’m fully claiming it. I enjoyed Wednesday Season 2 even more than the first. I don’t want to say that it feels bigger and better, but it is bigger and better. Just not in a way that reads as forced.

In this new season, Young Wednesday’s shenanigans remain at the centre of things, as expected. But the extra magic comes from a great story, Wednesday’s growing confidence, and how her family members are included in this season to great effect. For example, Catherine Zeta Jones really comes into her own as Morticia Addams, and Joanna Lumley is brilliant as Grandmama Hesta Frump.

Other memorable characters include Evie Templeton’s Agnes Demille, a.k.a. Wednesday’s stalker, and Lady Gaga as Rosaline Rotwood.

Typical of films/shows that involve Tim Burton, the production design and costumes are beautiful, along with the cinematography and dialogue.

The worst thing I can say about Wednesday Season 2 is that Wednesday’s little brother, Pugsley Addams is annoying. However, even that failed to stick. Because when I turned to Google to see if others agreed, my displeasure dissipated when someone said that Pugsley is simply awkward… which is still arguably annoying, but perhaps more easily forgiven.

Make time for Wednesday Season 2. It really is well-executed and fun.

10 Comments

Read my spoiler-free movie review of Wednesday Season 2 (2025).

It’s time to get back into following Wednesday Addams’s journey during her student years.

Created by Alfred Gough and Miles Millar, Wednesday – Season 2 stars, to name just a few, Jenna Ortega, Fred Armisen, Catherine Zeta-Jones and Joy Sunday.

This is a great trailer. For it looks fun, intriguing and visually rich. I’ll absolutely be watching. I must also admit that I wouldn’t say no to adding Wednesday’s lovely coat to my wardrobe, in more than one colour, and for more than one season, of course.

Bring on the fun, I say.

Luis Guzmán, Emma Myers, Hunter Doohan, Georgie Farmer, Victor Dorobantu, Moosa Mostafa, Luyanda Unati Lewis-Nyawo, Christina Ricci, Isaac Ordonez, Gwendoline Christie, Steve Buscemi, Riki Lindhome and Iman Marson also star.

Wednesday – Season 2 Release Dates: Part 1 – August 6th; Part 2 – September 3rd, 2025.

In new comedy Band Aid, Adam Pally and Zoe-Lister Jones are a married couple who can’t stop fighting. So, they turn their fights into songs and start a band together to save their marriage.

Band Aid is written/directed by Zoe Lister Jones and also stars Fred Armisen, Jessie Williams, Jamie Chung and Brooklyn Decker.

The comedy is why I want to watch. I also really enjoyed Adam Pally as Peter Prentice in The Mindy Project (2012 – 20017). Therefore this may be good. My hope is that the characters don’t sing as badly as they do in this trailer throughout too much of the movie.

Band Aid Release Dates: June 9th, 2017 (US – Internet)…

Starring Aubrey Plaza, Fred Armisen, Alison Brie and Dave Franco, The Little Hours is a new comedy set in the Middle Ages. The story follows a young servant who is fleeing from his master and takes refuge at a convent full of emotionally unstable nuns.

I want to find out where writer/director Jeff Baena goes with this seemingly crazy, fun story.  Maybe it’ll become one of my favourite comedies. Maybe?

Nick Offerman, John C Reilly, Kate Micucci and Molly Shannon also star.

The Little Hours Release Dates: June 30th, 2017 (US)…

7 DAYS IN HELL (2015): Kit Harrington, Andy Samberg & Fred Armisen In New HBO Comedy

7 Days In Hell is HBO’s new sports comedy/TV movie starring Andy Samberg, Kit Harrington, Mary Steenburgen, Fred Armisen and many more including Serena Williams and John McEnroe who play versions of themselves.

Shot in the style of a documentary expose, the TV movie focuses on the rivalry between two fictional tennis players, known to be the greatest of all time and their 2004 match that lasted 7 days. All very nuts, yes, but in the very best way.

All I know of Kit Harrington is that he is/was in that massively successful TV Show, Game Of Thrones, a series I’m still yet to watch, but something tells me that his Seven Days In Hell character, Charles Poole is very different to Jon Snow in an exciting way.

I’m expecting great performances from the entire cast, but besides Harrington’s character, I really hope there’s plenty of Fred Armisen as the Tennis Historian because my, that accent is really rather good and brilliantly entertaining.
