Episodes 1 and 2 are out! "The Franchise of the Franchise

YOU GUYS! I'm excited to share this with you, as I attempt to get seen by Armando Iannucci, Sam Mendes, and the rest of the brilliant folks behind the new HBO show The Franchise.

So my new series...budgeted at $17 (so far) across the first 3 episodes is called The Franchise of The Franchise (inspired by the future, yet-to-be shot HBO show). Why did I do this? You can read all about that over on Instagram at this post.

Per the Deadline announcement:

The Franchise follows a hopeful crew trapped inside the dysfunctional, nonsensical, joyous hellscape of franchise superhero moviemaking. If and when they finally make the day, there’s a question they must face: Is this Hollywood’s new dawn or cinema’s last stand? Is this a dream factory or a chemical plant?

Episodes 1 and 2 are below. Featuring hilarious folks like Richard E. Grant and Billy Magnussen and ME. :) Get involved. Like, share, send it to your friends, send it to your dentist. Just like me, okay!?
