What to Watch on IFC: November 28 – December

What to Watch on IFC: November 28 – December (photo)

Posted by on

Holy holly, it’s December already. We are in the lull between putting away the decorative gourds and untangling the Christmas lights so you can create your own holiday display that would put even the Griswolds to shame. When you’re done finding the one bulb that is shorting out the entire string of lights, come relax on the couch, because we have some great things to unwind to.

Here’s what to watch this week on IFC:

Monday

You know how we feel about both Johnny Depp and Tim Burton, so it should come as no surprise that we very strongly recommend that you watch “Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street” when it airs tonight at 8/7c.

Tuesday

Because some things are just too good to share with the kids, we’re showing Bernardo Bertolucci’s “The Dreamers” at 11 p.m. ET.

Wednesday

“Fight Club” and “Seven” director David Fincher steps behind the camera to tell the mysterious tale of the infamous Zodiac killer. Jake Gyllenhaal, Mark Ruffalo, and Robert Downey Jr. star in this re-telling of the true story behind the Zodiac murders that many crime scholars believe to be the most perplexing series of unsolved crimes in modern history. “Zodiac” starts at 8 p.m. ET

Thursday

We’re just going to keep showing “The Shining” throughout the holidays because it’s awesome and we can. Plus nothing says Christmas more than little Jimmy saying “Redrum! Redrum!” over and over again and freaking the pants off of grandma. Tonight it shows at 8 and 11 p.m. ET

Friday

TGIF, because not only are acronyms fun, but it’s been an entire week since we had a brand new episode of “Onion News Network” to make us LOL. Tonight, O’Brady Shaw joins Brooke Alvarez on FactZone as her cohost to promote his new special “The Cries of the Children.” Brooke does not share well with others. Tune in at 10/9 c to see what happens.

Saturday

Spend the holidays in a lovely little “Hostel” we know. There’s no chestnuts roasting and no crackling fire or Bing Crosby playing, but we think you’re going to like it anyway. We’re showing “Hostel” and “Hostel II” back-to-back beginning at 8 p.m. ET to really ring in the holidays IFC-style.

Sunday

Recover from your late night watching “Hostel” and “Hostel II” by staying in and watching a mini-marathon of “Whitest Kids U’Know” beginning at noon. You’re welcome.

Final Countdown

The Best Of The Last

Portlandia Goes Out With A Bang

Posted by 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.

Catch up on Portlandia’s final episodes on demand and at IFC.com

Rev Up

Your Portlandia Personality Test

The New Portlandia Webseries Is Going Your Way

Posted by on

Carrie and Fred understand that although we have so much in common, we’re each so beautifully unique and different. To help us navigate those differences, Portlandia has found an easy and honest way to embrace our special selves in the form of a progressive new traffic system: a specific lane for every kind of driver. It’s all in honor of the show’s 8th and final season, and it’s all presented by Subaru.

Ready to find out who you really are? Match your personality to a lane and hop on the expressway to self-understanding.

Lane 10: Trucks Piled With Junk

Your junk is falling out of your trunk. Shake a tail light, people — this lane is for you.

Lane 33: Twins

You’re like a Gemini, but waaaay more pedestrian. Maybe you and a friend just wear the same outfits a lot. Who cares, it’s just twinning enough to make you feel special.

Lane 27: Broken Windows

Bad luck follows you around and everyone knows it. Your proverbial seat is always damp from proverbial rain. Is this the universe telling you to swallow your pride? Yes.

Lane 69: Filthy Cars

You’re all about convenience. Getting your car washed while you drive is a no-brainer.

Lane 43: Newly Divorced Singles

It’s been a while since you’ve driven alone, and you don’t know the rules of the road anymore. What’s too fast? What’s too slow? Are you sending the right signals? Don’t worry, the breakdown lane is nearby if you need it.

Still can’t find a lane to match your personality? Check out all the videos here. And see the final season of Portlandia this spring on IFC.

It’s the final countdown to Christmas and thanks to IFC’s movie marathon all Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, you can revel in classic ’80s films AND find inspiration for your last-minute gifts. Here are our recommendations, if you need a head start:

Musical Instrument

Great analog entertainment substitute when you refuse to give your kid the Nintendo Switch they’ve been drooling over.

Breakfast In Bed

Any significant other or child would appreciate these Uncle Buck-approved flapjacks. Just make sure you’re not stuck on clean up duty.

Cocktail Supplies

You’ll need them to get through the holidays.

Dance Lessons

So you can learn to shake-shake-shake (unless you know ghosts willing to lend a hand).

Comfy Clothes

With all the holiday meals, there may be some…embigenning.



Get even more great inspiration all Christmas Eve and Day on IFC, and remember…
