Portlandia Goes Out With A Bang
Posted by Ben Cochran on
The end is near. In mere days Portlandia wraps up its final season, and oh what a season it’s been. Lucky for you, you can watch the entire season right now right here and on the IFC app, including this free episode courtesy of Subaru.
But now, let’s take a moment to look back at some of the new classics Fred and Carrie have so thoughtfully bestowed upon us. (We’ll be looking back through tear-blurred eyes, but you do you.)
Couples Dinner
It’s not that being single sucks, it’s that you suck if you’re single.
Cancel it!
A sketch for anyone who has cancelled more appointments than they’ve kept. Which is everyone.
Forgotten America
This one’s a “Serial” killer…everything both right and wrong about true crime podcasts.
Wedding Planners
The only bad wedding is a boring wedding.
Disaster Hut
It’s only the end of the world if your doomsday kit doesn’t include rosé.

Call-In Commentary: Watch the “Robot & Frank” trailer with director Jake Schreier
Posted by Brian Jacks on
It’s surprising to think that one of the most humanistic films of the year co-stars a machine, but that’s what you get with Jake Schreier’s new movie “Robot & Frank.” Legendary actor Frank Langella plays Frank, an elderly grump in the near-future whose children (Liv Tyler and James Marsden) worry constantly about him as he schlubs his way through his twilight years. Hoping to get his dad’s life back in order, his son orders him a robot (voiced by Peter Sarsgaard), a digitally-powered unit designed to function as a butler and caretaker in one. Initially resistant to his new addition, Frank — a “retired” jewel thief — quickly realizes that his robot may be good for more than just fetching glasses of milk.
One of the cleverest and most original films of the year, “Robot & Frank” is funny, touching and a joy to watch. Which is precisely why we were thrilled that Schreier agreed to record a Call-In Commentary for us, where filmmakers provide a narration to their movie trailer. In the video below, the director takes you through the storyline and its many characters.
“Robot & Frank” opens in NYC tomorrow, and August 24 in Los Angeles and other major cities, opening wide on August 31.
