Amusing Trailer for Diane Morgan’s ‘Cunk on Cinema’ Comedy Special

“I’ll look at the silver screen’s emotional highs and ask ‘why do they sound that way?'” Huh? Netflix & BBC have revealed official trailers for the return of the comedy icon Philomena Cunk in a new comedy special called Cunk on Cinema. British actress / comedian Diane Morgan returns to stars as the journalist maven Philomena Cunk in a new mini-series exploring cinema’s history and current shenanigans, featuring writing lead by “Black Mirror’s” Charlie Brooker. Morgan is known for her deadpan portrayal of Philomena Cunk, an earnest but stupid interviewer and commentator on history, culture and current affairs. She has made many of these before including Cunk on Shakespeare and Cunk on Christmas. This time, Cunk explores the history of film, from early cameras and the 1960s New Wave to CGI and artificial intelligence. She puts her questions to 23 experts, including Michael Bay (director of Bad Boys, The Rock, Transformers), the multi-award winning actor Benedict Cumberbatch (The Imitation Game, Sherlock), Oscar-nominated composer Daniel Pemberton (Project Hail Mary, Into the Spider-Verse), Steven E. de Souza (screenwriter Die Hard, Commando), and many other guests. This looks like it’ll be hilarious. Pop some popcorn & tune in this fall. // Continue Reading ›
