The Lost City of Z

2016’s The Lost City of Z is a stylish period drama set in the early 20th Century centered around the life and explorations of surveyor Col. Percy Harrison Fawcett (Charlie Hunnam) who grew obsessed with discovering the ruins of an advanced civilization hidden deep with the Amazon jungle.

Only Murders in the Building - CoBro

After a falling out among our trio, Charles (Steve Martin) quits the play, Oliver (Martin Short) recasts his role with an obsessive Matthew Broderick, and an increasingly frustrated Mabel (Selena Gomez) decides to launch a new season of the podcast without either of them. Along with Broderick having fun lampooning himself, the episode is notable for the return of Theo (James Caverly) providing some emotional support to Mabel and insight into a new suspect in Ben‘s death. “CoBro” also takes a look back at the friendship between Uma (Jackie Hoffman) and Bunny (Jayne Houdyshell) which works to give some perspective to Charles and to help push a reconciliation with Oliver. But is it too late to save their friendship with Mabel who has apparently already left the building?

“Chill Barry” offers the return of Barry Dylan (Dave Willis), whose consciousness is trapped inside a minifridge, who brings warnings of Other Barry and his plans for world conquest. Lots of craziness here as the team infiltrates the cyborg base, needlessly carrying the minifridge around, Cyril (Chris Parnell) gets injected with nanobots and becomes Other Barry’s high-kicking slave, Archer (H. Jon Benjamin) gets his ass handed to him by the cyborg (again), and Lana (Aisha Tyler) makes a disturbing discovery that Zara Khan (Natalie Dew) is more like Archer than she thought as Zara’s trainwreck of a personal life puts the mission at risk.
