The limits of cringe comedy
In the first season of The Rehearsal in 2022, comedian Nathan Fielder established himself as the deadpan, awkward king of cringe-fest comedy. Predicated on the premise that it would help people to navigate difficult situations in their lives by rehearsing for them beforehand, Fielder used lots of HBO's money to construct elaborate sets that allowed slightly bemused, ordinary people to prepare for any eventuality before stepping into their real-world challenges. The problem was, as the show so brilliantly demonstrated, no matter how hard you might prepare, life can always find a way to throw you a curve ball...

Nathan Fielder's The Rehearsal is One of Many Genre-Defying Projects.

(Photo by Jeff Kravitz/FilmMagic for HBO) Sometimes, art imitates life. And sometimes life is a movie. One that imitates life, which imitates art. In season two of HBO's hit comedy series The Rehearsal, comedian and performance artist Nathan Fielder blurs life, art, and TV. He uses his network resources to go big, examining plane crashes and how pilots communicate in the cockpit. Fielder, in typical fashion, takes hair brained ideas to the extreme. Often small details are inflated to comedic levels but prove tangential to the episode. The series, like his Comedy Central series Nathan For You, features Fielder playing a version of himself, working with real people and actors in a kaleidoscopic genre-bending performance art that might be described as quasi-investigative comedic documentary. Alexandra Tanner at The Point describes The Rehearsal: Canadian comedian Nathan Fielder of the Comedy Central show "Nathan For You" comes forward as the ... More brainchild of "Dumb Starbucks," a parody store that resembles a Starbucks with a green awning and mermaid logo, but with the word "Dumb" attached above the Starbucks sign. Starbucks Coffee spokeswoman, Laurel Harper says the store is not affiliated with Starbucks and, despite the humor, the store cannot use the Starbucks name. (AP Photo/Nick Ut) The art critic Dean Kissick in a column for Spike Art Magazine tries to make sense of the life-and-art collapse, As the world around us gets weirder, reality and fiction get ever closer. Here are eight more movies (and one book) for anyone interested in movies that incorporate polymathic combinations of art, film, fiction, and non-fiction. Secret Mall Apartment (2024), dir. Jeremy Workman In 2003, a group of eight artists in Providence, Rhode Island snuck into the local mall and set up a clandestine apartment inside an overlooked gap in the building's architecture. Led by artists Michael Townsend and Adriana Valdez Young, the crew spent four years hanging out in their clubhouse, right under the noses of mall security. With a small hidden camera, they documented their long-term art performance, using the quirks of the mall architecture to expand their joke into something deeply serious. Is it life or art? And is this a documentary or just a snapshot of their time spent deep within the 'nowhere space' of the mall? Pee Wee as Himself (2025), dir. Matt Wolf As a kid growing up, I didn't understand that Pee Wee Herman was played by Paul Reubens. The network TV show Pee Wee's Playhouse and the movie Pee Wee's Big Adventure both loomed large, but Paul Reubens, the comedian and artist behind the show, was a mystery. Reubens had purposely foregrounded his alter ego Pee Wee and hid himself from the public spotlight, making appearances on TV shows like The Tonight Show with David Letterman as the character. Pee Wee as Himself is an intimate portrait of Reubens, and sheds light on the man behind the character. The documentary draws on 40 hours of interviews with Reubens, who initiated the documentary while secretly battling cancer. It traces his start growing up in Sarasota, Florida around the circus performers of the The Ringling Brothers, which was headquartered there. It then shows the influence of Reubens's time in art school at CalArts and his experience with the improv group The Groundlings, where he worked with comedians such as Phil Hartman. The character of Pee Wee was an amalgamation of 1950s kids shows like The Shari Lewis Show and the the freneticism of the 1980s LA punk scene. All were swirled together to take performance and pop art into the mainstream in what Reubens described as 'live action cartoons.' Citizen Wiener (2024), dir. Daniel Robbins When the film industry (and everything else) shut down in 2020, actor Zack Wiener was living with his mom on New York City's Upper West Side. He decided to make a movie by running for city council, taking on Manhattan political stalwart Gale Brewer. With a real campaign staff of actors and his friends, he sets out on an extended Jackass-like adventure that is simultaneously sincere and completely ridiculous. (2025), dir. Peter Vack This fictional tale collapses the internet, theater, and the movie screen into a dystopian world where, with the creation of a world blurring online and offline, the three merge into a secret fourth thing. Rachel (Betsey Brown) is trapped in an advertising firm's experiment for which she is made to give user feedback about Mommy 6.0, a pop star. The film has been surrounded by controversy, as a group of New York's downtown art crowd gathered at the Daryl Roth Theatre to film several scenes, which most poignantly comment on what it means to be online today with pressures from both commercial forces and our peers. Videoheaven (2025), dir. Alex Ross Perry Taking the form of an academic essay, Alex Ross Perry's encyclopedic Videoheaven tells the story of the video store in popular culture. Rather than rely on simple nostalgia, the three-hour epic collage uses clips from mainstream and cult films to portray video stores as a third space and cultural touchpoint—sometimes positively, and sometimes less so. Like many academic essays, it can be at times overwhelming to follow both Maya Hawke's dense narration and the action in the associated clips. However, the movie ultimately tells a beautiful story of the video store's complex evolution from an underground portal to new worlds, to ubiquitous sterile corporate space, to zombified ruin. Videoheaven will be showing July 2-5 at IFC Center in New York, with wide release later this year. The Code (2025), dir. Eugene Kotlyarenko The Code is director Eugene Kotlyarenko's latest project. Set in the surreality of the Covid-19 pandemic, it utilizes a toolbelt of different cameras–from cell phones to spy sunglasses to surveillance cams–to construct a kaleidoscopic film. Celine (Dasha Nekrasova) and Jay (Peter Vack) are trying to repair their relationship. All the while, Celine makes a movie about it. Set in a rental house in the desert, the film weaves traditional movie shots, security cameras, phone cameras, screen recordings, and handheld 'documentary' footage, building a unique visual language that mirrors the layered story being told. Pavements (2024), dir. Alex Ross Perry Is it a documentary, a biopic, or a musical? And is it about music history, a reunion tour, or an exhibition? Yes. Alex Ross Perry's chaotic dive into the indie band Pavement follows them on a 2022 reunion tour and traces their history alongside their late spike in popularity. Instead of opting for the documentary format's neat combination of past and filming of the present, Perry serves up a maximalism that plays with reality, taking viewers through a chaotic reconstruction of Pavement's rise and fall via a Broadway style musical and biopic with Hollywood actors. For fans of the band, it is a nostalgic journey across the career of the genre-defining slacker rock band which made a deep impression on their generation. For those unfamiliar with Pavement, it is a wild, multi-angled glimpse of that angst-ridden era of rock music: the 1990s. It will be available for streaming on July 11 via Mubi. Bonus Book: Everything is Now: The 1960s New York Avant-Garde—Primal Happenings, Underground Movies, Radical Pop (2025) by J. Hoberman J. Hoberman's expansive history of 1960s New York shows the range of creative experimentation and influence of the period. From artists Yayoi Kusama and Andy Warhol, to comedian Lenny Bruce and jazz musician Ornette Coleman, the explosion of creative output was tied directly to the social proximity of the neighborhoods—beginning with the Beats of the 1950s, and moving through Fluxus art movement, underground film, and everything in between. As cultural critic Mike Davis says on the book's jacket, 'J Hoberman is simply the best historian of that hallucinatory decade when politics imitated celluloid and movies invaded reality.' The Rehearsal wouldn't be possible without it.

And the Emmy Nominations Should Go to…
The key races for the 77th Primetime Emmy Awards couldn't be more different. The comedy categories appear to be heading for another showdown between The Bear — once again prompting an obligatory 'Is it a drama or a comedy?' debate — and Hacks, with several returning shows still in the mix while the drama fields, which Shōgun dominated last year, are wide open. More from The Hollywood Reporter Hollywood Flashback: When 'Hollywood Squares' Won Big in 1975 'Wicked,' Sabrina Carpenter, SZA Among Winners at 2025 Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards 'Traitors' Stylist Teases "Way More Dramatic, Way More Theatrical" Season 4 Costumes While voters can, and in many cases should, absolutely go back to prior favorites like The White Lotus, Severance and The Last of Us, the THR television critics have recommendations on some familiar and some quirky and offbeat ways to fill out ballots. Voting for the nomination round closes on Monday, June 23, with nominations announced on Tuesday, July 15. The 2025 Emmys will air on CBS and Paramount+ on Sept. 14, with Nate Bargatze serving as host. Best Series After Max's Hacks upset The Bear in this race last Emmys, there was some speculation that FX might consider a jump in categories for the restaurant drama. Nope! So expect another deserved showdown. While voters will probably prefer looking at themselves in The Studio, a better field would include comic weepies Shrinking, A Man on the Inside and Somebody Somewhere, plus broadcast standby Abbott Elementary and Nathan Fielder's genre hybrid dazzler The Rehearsal. — D.F. Best Actor It is a crime that HBO's joyously funny, exquisitely empathetic Somebody Somewhere has yet to be nominated for a single Emmy; let's rectify that with a nom for Jeff Hiller's irrepressible Joel. Elsewhere, I'm a fan of Fielder's distinctive weirdness on HBO's The Rehearsal, Ted Danson's funny-poignant turn on Netflix's A Man on the Inside, Adam Brody's romantic chops on Netflix's Nobody Wants This, Seth Rogen's never-ending panic attack on Apple TV+'s The Studio and everything everyone is doing on FX's What We Do in the Shadows. — A.H. Best Actress This is where Hannah Einbinder belongs, right alongside Hacks co-star Jean Smart. Instead, she's miscategorized as supporting, which should leave room for Uzo Aduba's quirky The Residence performance, Stephanie Hsu's confident rom-com weirdness in Peacock's Laid, Kristen Bell's Nobody Wants This charm offensive and such returning favorites as Quinta Brunson (Abbott), Ayo Edebiri (The Bear) and Natasha Lyonne (Peacock's Poker Face). — D.F. Best Supporting Actor I expect we'll see several repeats in this category, including The Bear's Ebon Moss-Bachrach, Hacks' Paul W. Downs, Abbott Elementary's Tyler James Williams and Saturday Night Live's Bowen Yang, and I'd be happy for all of them. But I'd also love to find room for SNL breakout Marcello Hernández, Somebody Somewhere sweetheart Tim Bagley, Shrinking scene-stealer Ted McGinley and especially his co-star Harrison Ford — heard of him? — who was robbed of a nomination for season one. — A.H. Best Supporting Actress If Einbinder has to be here, she might as well win, especially since Liza Colón-Zayas of The Bear won the Emmy she deserved for this year at the Emmys in September. There are too many good contenders here, but I'd push for Lukita Maxwell (and Jessica Williams and Christa Miller) of Apple TV+'s Shrinking, Zosia Mamet of Peacock's Laid, Poorna Jagannathan of Hulu's Deli Boys, Janelle James of Abbott Elementary and the great Lou de Laâge, the best part of Prime Video's Étoile. — D.F. Best Series It's hard to think of a series more searingly of-the-moment than Andor, Tony Gilroy's anti-fascist statement by way of a Disney+ Star Wars brand extension. I'm also high on Max's The Pitt, the best and buzziest of this year's many medical dramas. But if a critic can dream, I'd also be thrilled to see HBO's Industry, sharper and bolder than ever in season three, and AMC's deliriously twisted Interview With the Vampire enter the race. — A.H. Best Actor My list starts with Zahn McClarnon of AMC's Dark Winds, a confident star turn that anchors the fine series. Noah Wyle's steady, yet emotionally volatile performance carried The Pitt, the second season of Severance took Adam Scott to new, darker places, and Diego Luna held together the disparate elements in Andor. A good list could also include Matthew Goode (Netflix's Dept. Q), Sterling K. Brown (Hulu's Paradise) and the reliable Gary Oldman (Apple TV+'s Slow Horses). — D.F. Best Actress If I had to sum up my faves in a single word, it'd be 'ferocious.' Bella Ramsey blew me away with their fury and vulnerability on HBO's The Last of Us. Britt Lower's high-wire act on Apple TV+'s Severance rewarded close repeat viewing. Marisa Abela took Yasmin to cold depths on Industry, and Melanie Lynskey and Sophie Nélisse burned up the screen with their shared rage on Showtime's Yellowjackets. — A.H. Best Supporting Actor A respectable list could include nothing but Severance (don't forget Zach Cherry) and The White Lotus (don't forget Patrick Schwarzenegger), but that would leave out such options as Gerran Howell (The Pitt), Kyle Soller (Andor), Ben Whishaw (Netflix's Black Doves) and Michael Emerson (CBS' Evil). — D.F. Best Supporting Actress The temptation to fill this extremely competitive category with people from The Pitt is strong, with Katherine LaNasa and Taylor Dearden especially close to my heart. But I'd be remiss to ignore the similarly wonderful work by The White Lotus' Aimee Lou Wood and Carrie Coon, Andor's Denise Gough and Genevieve O'Reilly, The Last of Us' Isabela Merced and Severance's Dichen Lachman. — A.H. Best Series Would it be reductive to describe the one-shot wonder Adolescence as 'this year's Baby Reindeer,' just because they're both wildly acclaimed, harrowing Netflix originals of British origin? Probably. Would it be inaccurate? Probably not, and deservedly so: Adolescence is a powerhouse of acting, writing and directing. But let's save some applause as well for FX's searing Troubles drama Say Nothing and its boldly horny cancer dramedy Dying for Sex. — A.H. Best Actor Stephen Graham tucking in that teddy bear in Adolescence wrecked me; give that man a hug, and a prize. Or hand it to Brian Tyree Henry, who can do no wrong in Apple TV+'s Dope Thief. Otherwise, most of my picks are great performances in so-so shows: Cooper Koch in Netflix's Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story, Josh Rivera in FX's American Sports Story: Aaron Hernandez and Jimmy O. Yang in Hulu's Interior Chinatown. — A.H. Best Actress It's essential Cristin Milioti end her bizarre streak of Emmy nom snubbing. The Penguin is nothing without her. Michelle Williams (Dying for Sex) and Cate Blanchett (Disclaimer) will add star power in a weak category that should include Kaitlyn Dever (Apple Cider Vinegar), Lola Petticrew (Say Nothing) and Tamara Lawrance (Get Millie Black). — D.F. Best Supporting Actor In his first onscreen performance, the astonishing Owen Cooper of Adolescence has this category in the bag. Since Bill Camp has roughly 73 performances here, let's get him a nom for … something, without forgetting about Don Cheadle (Peacock's Fight Night), Diego Luna (Hulu's La Máquina), Rob Delaney (Dying for Sex), Wagner Moura (Dope Thief) or Ramy Youssef (HBO's Mountainhead). — D.F. Best Supporting Actress Sorry to bring up Adolescence again, but Erin Doherty's performance was a beast — intense but nuanced, layered and dynamic. Also worthy of praise are Jenny Slate's tenderness on Dying for Sex, Ruth Negga's hurt and determination on Apple TV+'s Presumed Innocent and Betty Gilpin's raw longing on Starz's Three Women. And while I thought Hulu's Good American Family was deeply misguided, I left impressed by Imogen Faith Reid's handling of a highly difficult role. — A.H.

Our awards columnist's Emmy ballot: Read his list of dream nominees
Emmy nominations voting ends tonight at 10 p.m. PT. Still need help with your ballot? I'm Glenn Whipp, columnist for the Los Angeles Times and host of The Envelope newsletter. Still time to bite into a 'Jaws' doughnut and peruse my picks for this year's Emmy races. (An ordinary bagel will do.) There are more than 100 Emmy categories, and if you scrolled through each and every one of them on the Television Academy's website, you are probably one of those people who read the terms and conditions on a document before signing your name. For me, simply filling out the following 15 categories — five each for comedy, drama and limited series — left me exhausted and in need of a sweet treat. And I already finished my 'Jaws' doughnut. Maybe this cherries jubilee? Paul Giamatti would approve. Without further ado, here are my picks and a brief line of reasoning for each. And if it's predictions you're after, you can find our full BuzzMeter panel's choices here. COMEDY SERIES'Abbott Elementary''The Bear''Hacks''A Man on the Inside''Only Murders in the Building''The Rehearsal''Somebody Somewhere''The Studio' Yes, 'The Rehearsal' is a comedy. COMEDY ACTRESSQuinta Brunson, 'Abbott Elementary'Ayo Edebiri, 'The Bear'Bridget Everett, 'Somebody Somewhere'Natasha Lyonne, 'Poker Face'Jean Smart, 'Hacks' Last call on nominating Everett (and her magical series), which has won a Peabody. COMEDY ACTORTed Danson, 'A Man on the Inside'Steve Martin, 'Only Murders in the Building'Seth Rogen, 'The Studio'Martin Short, 'Only Murders in the Building'Jeremy Allen White, 'The Bear' Best Netflix comedy: 'A Man on the Inside,' anchored by Danson, still a master of light laughs. COMEDY SUPPORTING ACTRESSLiza Colón-Zayas, 'The Bear'Hannah Einbinder, 'Hacks'Kathryn Hahn, 'The Studio'Linda Lavin, 'Mid-Century Modern'Jane Lynch, 'Only Murders in the Building'Catherine O'Hara, 'The Studio'Sheryl Lee Ralph, 'Abbott Elementary' Colón-Zayas won last year, probably for the episode that she submitted this year. It's weird when shows drop their new seasons in June. COMEDY SUPPORTING ACTORIke Barinholtz, 'The Studio'Colman Domingo, 'The Four Seasons'Paul Downs, 'Hacks'Harrison Ford, 'Shrinking'Ebon Moss-Bachrach, 'The Bear'Tyler James Williams, 'Abbott Elementary'Bowen Yang, 'Saturday Night Live' Thank you, Sal Saperstein! DRAMA SERIES'Andor''The Last of Us''Paradise''The Pitt''Severance''Slow Horses''The White Lotus''Wolf Hall: The Mirror and the Light' Voting for 'Wolf Hall: The Mirror and the Light' checks a couple of boxes. DRAMA ACTRESSKathy Bates, 'Matlock'Britt Lower, 'Severance'Elisabeth Moss, 'The Handmaid's Tale'Kaitlin Olson, 'High Potential'Bella Ramsey, 'The Last of Us' Moss won this Emmy eight years ago. With the show ending, she has earned a parting gift. DRAMA ACTORSterling K. Brown, 'Paradise'Gary Oldman, 'Slow Horses'Pedro Pascal, 'The Last of Us'Adam Scott, 'Severance'Noah Wyle, 'The Pitt' 'Why don't you say whatever speech you've got rehearsed and get this over with.' Godspeed, old friend. Also: Joel's parting words should flash onscreen any time an Emmy winner goes long at the podium. DRAMA SUPPORTING ACTRESSCarrie Coon, 'The White Lotus'Taylor Dearden, 'The Pitt'Fiona Dourif, 'The Pitt'Tracy Ifeachor, 'The Pitt'Katherine LaNasa, 'The Pitt'Julianne Nicholson, 'Paradise'Parker Posey, 'The White Lotus' Women of 'The Pitt' > Women of 'The White Lotus' DRAMA SUPPORTING ACTORPatrick Ball, 'The Pitt'Gerran Howell, 'The Pitt'Jason Isaacs, 'The White Lotus'Damian Lewis, 'Wolf Hall: The Mirror and the Light'Jack Lowden, 'Slow Horses'Tramell Tillman, 'Severance'John Turturro, 'Severance' I don't know. Tillman might deserve the Emmy for this alone. LIMITED SERIES'Adolescence''Dope Thief''Dying for Sex''The Penguin''Say Nothing' 'Adolescence' should win everything. LIMITED SERIES/MOVIE ACTRESSKaitlyn Dever, 'Apple Cider Vinegar'Cristin Milioti, 'The Penguin'Lola Petticrew, 'Say Nothing'Michelle Williams, 'Dying for Sex'Renée Zellweger, 'Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy' OK, maybe not everything, as 'Adolescence' doesn't have a submission here. Zellweger probably won't win because comic acting rarely does, even though it most definitely should. LIMITED SERIES/MOVIE ACTORColin Farrell, 'The Penguin'Stephen Graham, 'Adolescence'Brian Tyree Henry, 'Dope Thief'Kevin Kline, 'Disclaimer'Cooper Koch, 'Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story' Farrell has already won so many awards for 'The Penguin,' it feels like either A) he must have won the Emmy too or B) he hasn't, and good God, let somebody else have a prize. (Like Graham.) LIMITED SERIES/MOVIE SUPPORTING ACTRESSErin Doherty, 'Adolescence'Ruth Negga, 'Presumed Innocent'Deirde O'Connell, 'The Penguin'Imogen Faith Reid, 'Good American Family'Jenny Slate, 'Dying for Sex'Christine Tremarco, 'Adolescence' Doherty will likely win for the series' third episode, the taut two-hander with Owen Cooper. But the fourth episode is just as good — maybe even better — featuring a heart-rending turn from Tremarco as the mom trying to hold it together. LIMITED SERIES/MOVIE SUPPORTING ACTORJavier Bardem, 'Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story'Owen Cooper, 'Adolescence'Rob Delaney, 'Dying for Sex'Rhenzy Feliz, 'The Penguin'Hugh Grant, 'Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy'Ashley Walters, 'Adolescence' Cooper will soon become the fifth teen actor to win a Primetime Emmy.
