There is a tiger, and Greendale

And now for your weekend viewing, check these two titles out. One now a cult classic, the second also a cult classic. See where I'm going with this?!

The Hangover
Legendary Pictures
Directed by Todd Phillips
2009


The Wolfpack – An ensemble cast consisting of awesome talent only to take on the crazy journey that is Vegas. Things go wrong like: with a day before a wedding, with a groom nowhere to be found. This film has been called a classic since it came out in 2009. With the 3rd now in theaters, relive the journey, the adventure, and the laughter.

But in case you missed it, this bundle of fun stars: Ed Helms, Zack G. (name is too hard to type), Bradley Cooper, Justin Bartha, and Ken Jeong  (just to name a few) with tons of familiar faces that make up the rest of the cast.

I believe what made this series work is its sense of humor, concept, and all around mission to see a set of friends take on anything. There is just something awesome about this Wolfpack. To see them wreck everything, and somehow bond over the worst moments.  If you’ve seen it, watch it again. First timer? You are in for a treat.


Community Season Uno
NBC / Universal / Sony
2009

Welcome to Greendale -
Joel McHale plays a former lawyer, now turned community college student. After a bad stint, with his degree being a total dud. Now he must seek retribution by starting over. By bonding with a bunch of misfits in no particular order: Britta – the rebel without a cause (Gillian Jacobs), Annie – the soft spoken one that will lead the force versus the zombies (Allison Brie), Shirley – the heartfelt Christian mom with a noble heart (Yvette Nicole Brown), Abad – the unknown wild card (Danny Pudi), Troy – the man with a destiny (Donald Glover), and Pierce – former businessman tycoon, now rebuilding his life(Chevy Chase)
**and many more (plus lots of guest stars!)

This series redefines the word comedy, with its distinguished take on the meaning. Bringing together an awesome array of talent, with witty characters, and a story that is simple as pie. (not that pi) A set of twenty-five episodes delivers awesome laughs, and the season finale that left fans wondering. “Where do we go from here?”

On dvd, there is the utter joy of no commercials. Every episode contains peanuts, and is quite yummy. But there is a bunch of extra goodies in this first season set. With commentary on every episode; outtakes on each disc,  more bonus items. These goodies are definitely for the fans, because this is awesome stuff.

Follow the journey every Thursday this fall. With the return of Season V this fall!
