GORBURGER: The New Monster Of Late Night TV!

Published

on

Late night television has taken a turn for the weird, and it’s all the better for it. Now Comedy Central has its own bizarro alien talk show with THE GORBURGER SHOW! And it lives up to the title when it comes to gore.

The framing follows the titular Gorburger, a strange, blue furred, extraterrestrial ogre who takes over a local access Japanese talk/variety show. Literally takes over. As in, beaming down, slaughtering or devouring most of the cast and crew, and declaring that it is his show now! And what a show it is.

The series began as a webshow from 2012 to 2013, created by Ryan McNeely and Josh Martin on Funny Or Die/Youtube. The boisterous beast voiced by comedian T.J. Miller, giving him a friendly and affable voice and personality despite the monstrous appearance and tendency to commit wanton acts of bloodshed. Gorburger himself is an impressive piece of Practical FX, like a costumed Kaiju. So, kinda like if Godzilla had his own TV show to host. The webseries mainly featured musicians like Flea, Henry Rollins, and Jack Black being interviewed by Gorburger and responding to his antics along with the eccentric and seemingly random segments and contests of a Japanese game/variety show. The new half-hour series on Comedy Central features a lot of similar segments and styles from the original webshow, including musical performances.

Now featuring bits with Gorburger visiting interesting and strange locales like a real doll factory and a twerking class. Also exhibiting a lo-fi quality, with VHS scratches, technical errors, and lots of colorful bumpers/transitions. Each episode also revolving around an issue or quirk of Gorburger’s, such as his fur shedding releasing a litter of Gremlin like ‘Gorbabies’ or becoming addicted to Jazz and holding Kenny G hostage. All to the shock and usual detriment of his guests. Assisted by Tokyo Fever! a Jpop duo of Idols that will cheerfully yell “We are Tokyo Fever!” whenever someone says Tokyo Fever! and having guests like Tig Notaro and Zach Woods/Johnny Pemberton compete in Japanese game show styles physical challenges like getting grandma off a wall with a wrecking ball, or disemboweling a guy for Gorburger’s alien god. Needless to say, there are casualties and blood sprayed.

The series is a hilarious talk show and monster mash I can’t recommend enough! Check it out Sundays at midnight on Comedy central or on their site. It’s Gorburger’s show, we’re just watching it!

Baffling Footage of “Time Traveler” Captured on Ring Cam

Published

on

Some physicists think that time travel is possible and in a recent social media story we might believe them. 

It all started when a homeowner named Alec Schaal checked his outside security camera remotely. He saw a young gentleman walking aimlessly around the yard seemingly looking for something. The trespassing individual with a backpack over his shoulder entered the homeowner’s tool shed and closed the door. It seemed like a simple case of unlawful intrusion. But as the homeowner reviewed the entire footage he noticed something strange and ended up calling the police.

It became a concern when the interloper never exited the shed. Worried, the homeowner had law enforcement check on the situation but the investigation turned up nothing: the stranger was nowhere to be found, he seemingly disappeared into thin air. 

That would have been the end of it, but what happened next is even stranger.

The next day, someone who looks like the first guy emerges from the shed but he appears 30 years older!! 

Since this weird story broke, Schaal’s TikTok has been blowing up and he has given several updates. Of course, some people are outright skeptical about the whole thing, while others want more proof which Schaal provides.

In the most recent update, Schaal says TikTok is trying to remove the story from his feed saying that it violates their guidelines about…gambling. He’s appealed but was declined.

Take a look at the videos for yourself and let us know what you think.

@alecschaal

I’ve literally watched this 1 million times and he never leaves. Where did he go? 😭👀

‘Violent Night’ Director’s Next Project is a Shark Movie

Published

on

Sony Pictures is getting in the water with director Tommy Wirkola for his next project; a shark movie. Although no plot details have been revealed, Variety confirms that the movie will start filming in Australia this summer.

Also confirmed is that actress Phoebe Dynevor is circling the project and is in talks to star. She is probably best known for her role as Daphne in the popular Netflix soap Bridgerton.

Dead Snow (2009)

Duo Adam McKay and Kevin Messick (Don’t Look Up, Succession) will produce the new film.

Wirkola is from Norway and utilizes a lot of action in his horror films. One of his first films, Dead Snow (2009), about zombie Nazis, is a cult favorite, and his 2013 action-heavy Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters is an entertaining distraction.

Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters (2013)

But 2022’s Christmas blood fest Violent Night starring David Harbour made wider audiences familiar with Wirkola. Coupled with favorable reviews and a great CinemaScore, the film became a Yuletide hit.

Insneider first reported this new shark project.
