At this month’s Cannes Film Festival, Francis Ford Coppola and Kevin Costner each unveiled passion projects they opted to finance themselves after institutional backers initially passed. This week, three auteurs make a trend — except instead of putting his own funds toward a deeply personal, sweeping epic, comedian Shane Gillis has made a lewd, bro-y workplace comedy set at a Pennsylvania tire shop.

His 2021 special “Live in Austin” blew up on YouTube; the same podcast that cost him “SNL,” co-hosted with fellow comic Matt McCusker, continues apace; Gillis even self-produced his own sketch comedy series, “Gilly and Keeves,” which culminated with a feature-length special last year.

When comedian Stavros Halkias’s first Netflix special Fat Rascal debuted on the service on Tuesday, it marked the culmination of 15 years of work, the last two of which have been particularly “wild.” It’s the first bit of mainstream exposure for the 34-year-old Baltimore native, bearing one of the most singular visages and voices of his generation, who set out to build his career in stand-up at age 19.
Unlike some comics, who rose up on the back of a late-night set or a Comedy Central half hour, he’s among the young talents who have leveraged the digital space as a means of building both a powerhouse brand and a loyal following. Such has been his permeation of pop culture of late, he says, that he’s begun noticing a difference in those attending his shows. Instead of “internet freaks” alone, he jokes, he now sees “nice older couples” out in the crowd,...

The special, which will be written, performed and self-produced by Halkias, is described as “a snapshot of a man whose many vices are actively getting the best of him and a collection of observations, interesting experiences, and sexual embarrassments from 2 years of non-stop touring,” according to the official logline.

Steven Soderbergh on Friday unveiled the first trailer for Command Z, a comedic sci-fi series formerly known as The Pendulum Project, which will become available for streaming only on the site for his production company, Extension 765, on July 17th.
In the trailer, which you can view at the link below, we’re introduced to a disembodied scientist (Michael Cera), appearing on a screen, who advises a trio of employees on a mission through time and space that they’ll soon be undertaking — via a wormhole within a washing machine. “This is historic, literally,” the character says. “We’ll be dipping into the past to make some critical fixes there that will, in turn, make the future, our present right now, more livable, fair and decent for everyone. We’re going back to the moment that I’ve determined was America’s last inflection point — to 2023.”
