Rhett and Link got their own centerfold in this week’s Entertainment Weekly
Just 14 days away from the world premiere of our new show Commercial Kings with Rhett and Link on IFC.
The show follows YouTube sensations (and all-round great guys) Rhett and Link as they take the art of local commercials to all new heights.
Of course, trying to convince every-day business owners to do the kinds of over-the-top, often ridiculous things that can achieve YouTube glory is not ever easy.
We think the hysterical adventures (and misadventures) of Rhett and Link will appeal to everyone, while those of you into the filmmaking side of things will get a kick out of the making-of aspect of the show.
The two of us sure had fun making it!
Here’s a sneak peek at the reveal of one of this season’s commercials, made for a woman who can both speak “Cat” and communicate with them telepathically. She runs a Holiday Hotel for cats that needs a business boost:
You might’ve seen this one already…if so, it’s worth a second look.
Heavy Hill has his own trash pick-up service…and he’s as big a character as you could hope for. Enjoy!

One of our Twitter faves, producer John Paul Rice is working hard to make the social-issue feature film “Mother’s Red Dress.”
The film tackles tough subject matter like abuse, domestic violence and mental illness. No, it’s not the most commercial subject matter out there…and that’s why sites like Kickstarter exist…to help make movies that might not get funded otherwise.
Made under John’s No Restrictions Entertainment Banner, and written and directed by Edward Michael Bravo, the filmmakers are taking a risk with this material. Good for them.
We’re one of many backers on the project (We pledged $10.) You can become a backer at the Kickstarter Site.
Be sure to follow John Paul Rice on Twitter. And if you’re not already…follow us too! @JokeAndBiagio.
One of the great things about touring the festival circuit right now with our film Dying to do Letterman is meeting other filmmakers and great people all over the country.
Last week at the Lighthouse International Film Festival I was asked to sit in and comment on a series of short-films made by high school students.
16 year old sophomore Garrett Scheliga made the audience roar by sandwiching some otherwise dry statistics about teen sexual activity between a hilarious visual sketch.
Feel free to leave Garrett a message below if you like his work.
Her Letters is an ambitious short film project by one of our twitter faves Amanda Lin Costa.
Previously, Amanda gave us an in-depth two part interview on the making of her short film here on the blog, covering the scripting of Her Letters as well as shooting on the Canon 5D with cinematographer Emon Hassan…check those out for some detailed, nitty-gritty filmmaking insight.
Amanda’s just finished the trailer for the film, and it’s looking great. Have a peek:
Be sure to check out the website for Her Letters. Amanda also has a Facebook page for the film, and if you’d like to support the movie with a donation, you can do so here. Finally, be sure to follow Amanda on Twitter, and if you’re not already doing it, follow us on Twitter, too!
