Plz pretty plz be available in my country, we've had zero qanon media so far that isn't just promoting the shit as real, not even the one documentary by Cullen still!



"Reno 911: The Hunt for QAnon” has set a premiere date on Paramount Plus.

The special will air on the streamer starting Dec. 23. It follows the deputies of the Reno Sheriff’s Department as they hunt for Q, the one behind all the QAnon conspiracies. Their efforts cause them to get stuck at a QAnon convention at sea, ultimately escaping only to discover that they’ve landed at Jeffrey Epstein’s old island.

The first teaser and key art for the new special can be found below.



The entire original cast of “Reno 911!” will reunite for the special, namely Thomas Lennon, Robert Ben Garant, Kerri Kenney-Silver, Cedric Yarbrough, Carlos Alazraqui, Wendi McLendon-Covey, and Niecy Nash, along with Mary Birdsong and Ian Roberts, who joined the show later in its run.

Lennon, Garant, Kenney-Silver, Yarbrough, Nash, Alazraqui, and McLendon-Covey also serve as executive producers along with John Landgraf, Michael Shamberg, Stacey Sher, Danny Devito, Peter Principato, Christian Hoffman and David Lincoln. Birdsong and Roberts are producers. Garant will also direct the special.

“The Hunt for QAnon” was announced back in February ahead of the rebranding of CBS All Access on Paramount Plus. The show aired originally aired on the ViacomCBS cabler Comedy Central from 2003-2009. The mockumentary series was unique in that most of the dialogue was unscripted, with the cast frequently improvising their lines. A feature film, “Reno 911!: Miami,” was released in 2007.

The show was then revived at Quibi for a seventh season, with those new episodes shifting to the Roku Channel following Quibi’s shutdown that same year. The Quibi season of the show was released in two parts, with both parts netting two Emmy nominations each. The first was nominated for best shortform series and best actress in a shortform series (Kenney-Silver), while the second was nominated in the same categories.

This is the kind of Batgirl I wanted. Small, nimble, cute college girl.



What I get is Officer Gordon, covered in armor probably. Ugh...

Seriously, no one cares anymore. J.K Rowling pretty much killed any goodwill left.
It's funny, while I don't agree/care about her politics, she still killed my goodwill for Harry Potter with all the bizarre bits of lore she keeps adding. I think she might have lost her mind a little. Thank you, Ms. Rowling, for informing us that wizards used to shit themselves wherever they were and magic the poops away.

I always thought it was weird that wizards apparently don't know what dentists are(so presumably magic keeps their teeth and gums healthy) but so many of them wear eyeglasses(so apparently it doesn't work on eyeballs). Does it explain this in the books(I've only seen the films) or this this a weird worldbuilding miss?

No it's never explained, but now that you've spoken the question into existence, I expect JK Rowling will get to answering it sooner or later.

To b e fair, British people in general don't know what dentists are...

(Kidding, someone had to say it)

Not sure how to feel about it. Teetering somewhere between cringe and curiosity but never settling towards a single one. Plus, comedy trailers are just the worst, someone needs to sort them all out: rethink them from the ground up cause it ain't working out between us.

Came Across this a few days ago.


I honestly have no idea what it is but it reminds me of Wes Anderson's Fantastic Mr. Fox but with an apparent Horror bent. Has anyone heard about this or know anything about it?

It doesn't help "The House" is such a generic name that trying to do a search is difficult.

Ooh, yeah, saw that trailer some days back and got the same sort of vibes. It's definitely on the list for later watchables. There's another film on Netflix with similar naming scheme called 'His House' which is also pretty good if it's still available. Protagonists are a refugee couple being housed in a run down part of the UK (which will be all of it in a couple of years time! *Dreaded post-brexit joke*) Then horror shenanigans join in. The art of coming up with an intriguing title is unfortunately a tricksy mistress for many.

Lol, this looks so insanely stupid, but with any luck, the kind of insanely stupid that's also just fun to watch unfold.

Absolutely hate the Bad Moon Rising remix tho
