Around the Tubes: April 2, 2022

             

I have gotten a plethora of cool press releases have been flooding my inbox recently that you may find interesting.  This post includes blurbs on Only Murders in the BuildingCandy, Cypress Hill: Insane in the Brain, The Valet, Florence + The Machine, Kae Tempest, Red Hot Chili Peppers, and The TV Showrunner’s Roadmap: Creating Great Television in an On Demand World.


Check out the first look at season two of Hulu's acclaimed comedy series, "Only Murders in the Building." The show's first teaser will air tonight during the 94th Oscars® and shows a sneak peek at Cara Delevingne and Oscars® co-host Amy Schumer in the new season. "Only Murders in the Building" returns on Tuesday, June 28th.



Check out the latest teaser for "Candy" starring Jessica Biel and Melanie Lynskey airing tonight during the 94th Oscars® on ABC. "Candy" premieres on Hulu Monday, May 9 and will stream new episodes nightly until the finale on Friday, May 13.



 SHOWTIME has released the official trailer for CYPRESS HILL: INSANE IN THE BRAIN, which will premiere Wednesday, April 20 at 8 p.m. ET/PT. As part of the network’s HIP HOP 50 banner, the documentary chronicles the legendary L.A. rap group and their decades-long career and influence.  Told through the intimate lens of photographer and director Estevan Oriol (LA Originals), CYPRESS HILL: INSANE IN THE BRAIN is a smoke-filled journey across the lives and careers of the groundbreaking, genre-defying Hip Hop group, Cypress Hill. Their unique sound, influenced by their Latin roots and West Coast upbringing, was built on a movement rooted in true authenticity: From cultivating the flower, to smoking it, to rapping about it, their influence is forever burned into the musical landscape of Hip Hop as they continue to stay relevant after 30 years. Using a treasure trove of never-before-seen archival footage captured by Oriol himself, as well as images of band members B Real, DJ Muggs, Sen Dog and Eric “Bobo” Correa, CYPRESS HILL: INSANE IN THE BRAIN tells the story of a brotherhood that has withstood the test of time to create a truly original, everlasting legacy.




The Hulu Original Film "The Valet," starring Eugenio Derbez ("CODA") and Samara Weaving ("Nine Perfect Strangers"), premieres on Hulu and across Disney streaming services globally on Friday, May 20th. Check out the date announcement from @Ederbez HERE and @Hulu HERE!   SYNOPSIS: In “The Valet,” world famous movie star, Olivia (Samara Weaving) faces a PR disaster when a paparazzi snaps a photo of her with her married lover, Vincent (Max Greenfield). The hard-working valet Antonio (Eugenio Derbez) accidentally appears in the same photo and is enlisted to pose as Olivia’s new boyfriend as a cover up. This ruse with Olivia thrusts Antonio into the spotlight and unexpected chaos. In this fish out of water romantic comedy, two worlds and cultures collide as both Olivia and Antonio start to see themselves more clearly than ever before. “The Valet,” directed by Richard Wong and written by Rob Greenberg and Bob Fisher, is the English-language remake of the hit French film.
