Casper Kelly might be most famous for his this-shouldn't-be-so-creepy comedy short "Too Many Cooks." Now he's got his feature directorial debut on his hands (but don't sleep on Yule Log 2, according to Alonso), and It's Buddy, a comedy horror that owes a debt of gratitude to the insistent cheerfulness of Barney the Dinosaur. We'll get into all that, and then talk about some of our favorite times TV crossed over onto the big screens.What's Good:Alonso: kouign amannDrea: Minnesota State FairKevin: Costco beltITIDIC• Summer U.S. Box Office Hits All-Time $4.76B Record: How Audiences Surrendered To Moviegoing• Telluride's Top-Secret Film Was a Documentary and people are abuzz (You Can See Everything, Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim's Elizabeth Holmes doc)Staff Picks:Alonso: We Are PatDrea: Oasis: Don't Look Back in AngerKevin: Colony (Gunche) Help support this show and unlock bonus content!

What if your favorite childhood TV show was actually a nightmare? This week, Bloody Good Horror reviews "Buddy", the bizarre new horror movie from "Too Many Cooks" creator Casper Kelly. What begins as a seemingly innocent children's program quickly becomes a surreal nightmare involving an orange unicorn, trapped children, looping episodes, and a world where happiness is mandatory. But "Buddy" is much more than just a creepy kids' show. We dig into the film's use of liminal horror, childhood nostalgia, emotional manipulation, abuse and compliance, and the unsettling idea of what happens when the cheerful veneer of children's entertainment starts to crack. We also discuss Keegan-Michael Key's wildly unsettling performance, the film's bizarre supporting characters, its increasingly disturbing mythology, and an ending that suddenly blows the entire world of *Buddy* wide open. Is "Buddy" a brilliant expansion of Casper Kelly's "Too Many Cooks" aesthetic, or does its surreal second half start to lose the thread? PLUS, Dr. Loomis gets horny in the new Halloween game and no one's happy about it, and Zach Cregger finds out what it's like to direct a film in a long running series... in the worst way possible. #BuddyMovie #BuddyHorrorMovie #TooManyCooks Learn more about your ad choices.

This week's livestream is brought to you by the letter "D", for "Derivative"!Yes, there's another indie horror movie in theaters with audience buzz, killer marketing, and very little else to recommend it beyond some truly remarkable aesthetics.Casper Kelly's Buddy centers on a titular late-90s children's program modeled off of Barney the Dinosaur. In this case, our chuckling, anthropomorphic host is an orange unicorn who may also be a demon. In the real world, an overworked mom named Grace (Cristin Milioti) begins hallucinating about a child who's "missing" from her family.How do these things tie together? Does it matter?Join Ian and Jeff as we talk Hollywood's newfound love of Child Endangerment Horror (Is it really that new?); elevator-pitch screenwriting; and why Buddy would've been better in the hands of another indie creator who blew up this summer !

Welcome to Multiverse News, your source for information about all your favorite fictional universes.Avengers: Secret Wars doesn't seem so far away these days, especially with the surprise announcement from Deadline that A Quiet Place and Hamnet star Noah Jupe is the first to land a new, secret role in the film. We're on the precipice of Avengers: Doomsday this December and still don't know much about the plot, but that doesn't mean we're not ready to speculate! The MCU continues to pile on record-breaking stats, with the Avengers: Endgame Encore trailer garnering 77 million views within the first 24-hours of its release. This shatters any previously held record for a re-released film trailer; that number is more than four times any other amount. Spider-Man: Brand New Day took the number one spot at the box office again this weekend and has passed Avengers: Endgame to become the second highest grossing domestic film of all time. At number two, Ketchup Entertainment's theatrical rescue of Warner Bros Animation's Coyote vs. Acme hit its forecast with a very solid $15.4 million opening. 20th Century Studios' Ridley Scott dystopian future Jacob Elordi, Margaret Qualley, and Josh Brolin movie, Dog Stars, had a low $8 million opening off a $70 million production cost. Casper Kelly's horror comedy Buddy took the number six spot at the domestic box office with $5.36 million, a solid start for a film that was released on less than 1,800 total screens.In an interview with The L.A. Times, Ridley Scott confirmed that there is a sequel to 2017's Alien: Covenant in active development. He said the film “will pick up with David (Fassbender) creating a ‘brave new world for himself." Tim Curry who rose to fame in Hollywood for his iconic roles in It, Clue, and The Rocky Horror Picture Show has passed away at the age of 80. Anne Hathaway has joined the cast of Days of Thunder 2 at Paramount alongside returning star Tom Cruise. Paramount has also announced that the film will be released June 2, 2028. HBO Max released the first full trailer for Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone. The series will premiere over Christmas.Showrunner Tom King confirmed to Entertainment Weekly that Nathan Fillion will reprise his role of Green Lantern Guy Gardner in the DCU for the upcoming animated Mister Miracle series.Netflix has released the first trailer for East of Eden, Zoe Kazan's adaptation of the John Steinbeck novel that stars Florence Pugh. The limited series is seven episodes long and will begin streaming on October 1.
What if your favorite wholesome '90s kids' show wasn't wholesome at all? Casper Kelly, the twisted mind behind Too Many Cooks, takes the bright colors, catchy songs, oversized costumes, and aggressively positive lessons of children's television and turns them into a bloody horror-comedy nightmare. At the center of it all is Buddy, a cheerful orange unicorn voiced by Keegan-Michael Key who seems determined to teach kids some very important lessons… whether they want to learn them or not.

What if Barney was actually a child-eating demon? This week on the Messed Up Movies Podcast, we're diving headfirst into BUDDY, Casper Kelly's completely deranged horror-comedy about a magical children's-show unicorn whose wholesome world of songs, friendship and life lessons rapidly descends into murder, mutilation and absolute chaos. And we are VERY divided on this one. For Griffey, BUDDY is the most fun he's had in a theater all year and his favorite movie of 2026. For Heath and Sam? A hilarious idea stretched into a gimmicky feature that never quite finds the characters, stakes or story to hold the insanity together. We're talking murderous children's television, Nightmare Buddy, dead kids, demonic unicorn mythology, Clint Howard getting extremely inappropriate with a puppet, surprisingly nasty scares, the bizarre final act and whether this thing is actually a brilliant piece of horror satire or just one enormous fucked-up joke.

Une immense licorne orange chante, danse et apprend aux enfants à partager. Puis une fille refuse de participer. Le sourire reste en place, mais le décor commence à se fissurer. Dans ce podcast horreur français, Buddy transforme la télévision jeunesse en prison colorée et la bonne humeur obligatoire en instrument de contrôle.
Casper Kelly, the director of BUDDY, joins Nasty Neal to talk about his bizarre and unsettling new horror film! With Topher Grace, Patton Oswalt, Clint Howard, Keegan-Michael Key!From the creator of the cult phenomenon Too Many Cooks, BUDDY takes the seemingly innocent world of children's television and turns it into something much more sinister.BUDDY:A brave girl and her friends must escape a kids television show.Casper Kelly talks about creating the strange world of BUDDY, mixing childhood nostalgia with horror, bringing the film's surreal characters to life, the inspiration behind the movie, and much more.
Well, gang. It was just about time for someone to make a movie about a kids' show featuring an angry, murderous talking unicorn. What's that, you say? Sounds crazy? It is! BUDDY's (1:55) co-writer and director is Casper Kelly, mostly known for his work on Adult Swim. (Check out "Too Many Cooks" if you need an introduction.) Anyway, Buddy wants to teach his four human child friends to dance, but one refuses. And when that kid disappears and leaves behind a bloody book, some of the other kids decide to figure out what's going on. You can imagine that the consequences are horrific (because they are), with a generous helping of absurdist humor. In the end, Evan and Dave were both on board, with some caveats. Over on Patreon, we talk about the 2008 movie SPEED RACER by the Wachowskis.
In this ScreenFish 1on1 Interview, director Casper Kelly discusses BUDDY, exploring the influence of Grimm's Fairy Tales and the ways children's entertainment can carry elements of propaganda beneath its comforting surface. He reflects on the film's distinctive set design and his decision to undermine the familiar television worlds that once made audiences feel safe. Kelly also considers the darker side of nostalgia, asking whether our desire to idealize the past can distort memory and prevent us from seeing it clearly.BUDDY is available in theatres on Friday, August 28th, 2026.#buddy #horror #casperkelly #toomanycooks #movie #film #interview #podcast #filmtok #fyp @MongrelMedia
If you're a weirdo like us here at The Kingcast then you'll hold Casper Kelly's work up as an ideal beacon of the bizarre. From Too Many Cooks to his Cheddar Goblin commercial in Mandy, Kelly's been bouncing between pitch perfect nostalgia and crap-your-pants creepiness his whole career. He finally got to make a feature film called Buddy, which is essentially what if Barney was really a hellish purgatory for the characters trapped inside the tube. Yes, it's as sweet as it sounds. Bloody, profane, and fun as all hell. Kelly joins The Kingcast boys to talk about this film and to talk about the strange Stephen King influences that can be found therein. The Shining, Misery, and On Writing all had at least a backwards impact on how this crazy flick came together.And thanks to this episode's sponsor The Calamities, written by Chuck Wendig and published by Penguin/Randomhouse, available right now wherever books are sold.
This week we're excited to present a conversation from Opening Night of Scary Movies, the popular horror festival that just concluded its spooky 14th edition, with Buddy director Casper Kelly, producers Rafi Margules & Tyler Davidson, and lead actress Delaney Quinn, moderated by FLC programmer Madeline Whittle. Buddy will be opening in select theaters beginning August 28th, courtesy of Roadside Attractions. Viewers might know Casper Kelly as the mad-genius Adult Swim auteur responsible for 2014's viral sensation Too Many Cooks, among other fever-dream spoofs of vintage pop-culture weirdness. With his first foray into big-screen feature filmmaking, Kelly embraces a larger canvas, applying his gleefully deranged sense of humor to the uncanny, oppressive cheerfulness of a '90s soundstage-set kids' TV show. The plucky young live-action characters of “It's Buddy!” pass their days (or rather, episodes) laughing and learning in a brightly-hued analog playhouse—until the titular host, a charismatic orange unicorn, turns unexpectedly violent, and the show's hermetically sealed fantasyland descends into gore-spattered mayhem. The result is an unhinged satire in which Kelly's trademark flair for surreal black comedy reaches dazzling new heights, here abetted by a pitch-perfect ensemble cast that includes Cristin Milioti, Topher Grace, and the voice-acting talents of Keegan Michael Key and Patton Oswalt. Now please enjoy the conversation with Buddy director Casper Kelly, producers Rafi Margules & Tyler Davidson, and lead actress Delaney Quinn, moderated by FLC programmer Madeline Whittle. Scary Movies XIV was sponsored by MUBI.
It's a fun show this week on BEHIND THE LENS thanks to director ALICIA MacDONALD talking about her new film opening on Friday, FINDING EMILY, and writer/director CASPER KELLY discussing his new film BUDDY, which also opens in theatres this Friday! First up, we're going to Manchester, England with FINDING EMILY. Directed by Alicia MacDonald and written by Rachel Hirons, FINDING EMILY is the story of a lovesick musician named Owen who is given the wrong number for his dream girl, "Emily", which leads him to team up with a driven psychology student from the United States, Emily Raine, to find her. Together, they spark a hilarious campus-wide frenzy that tests their own hearts and ambitions along the way. Side note for all of you – there are 40,000 students at the University. 318 are named Emily… plus some non-students also named Emily. And Owen's ideas for finding "the right Emily" bring on all sorts of hilarity and heart. Shifting gears, get ready for a fun-filled look into the world of BUDDY courtesy of writer/director CASPER KELLY. I had so much fun watching this film and speaking with Casper about it. BUDDY is very cool. Fresh. Original. A novel idea! So, who is BUDDY? Well, BUDDY is a bright orange unicorn and star of the fictional classic childrens' television show who brought joy and life lessons into your living room. And Casper takes us inside the world of "It's Buddy!" where we meet a group of children who spend their days singing, dancing, and helping Buddy spread happiness, while learning important life lessons. But what happens when one child refuses to play along, displeasing and angering Buddy? http://eliasentertainmentnetwork.com

According to Deadline's sources, Michael Waldron, who has written a number of MCU projects including Loki and Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, as well as the first treatment of the never-to-be Avengers: The Kang Dynasty, is developing the script for a Nova feature film. Waldron is currently on the Avengers: Doomsday writing team with Steven McFeely and a Nova focused TV or film project has long been rumored to be in the works for Marvel; Last week Warner Bros and Legendary released the official trailer for Dune: Part Three, the seemingly epic conclusion to Denis Villeneuve's adaptation of Frank Herbet's fundamental sci-fi source material. The trailer, like the teasers before it, depicts the conflict situated around the rise and fall of Timothee Chalamet's warmongering, would-be messiah, Paul Atriedes, while showcasing the star-studded cast of newcomers, and returning characters in more ways than one. Dune: Part Three has yet to waiver from its December debut coinciding with Avengers: Doomsday; The post-Supergirl DCU has been the subject of much consternation and the latest pieces of news coming from the studio and franchise do little to change the tunes on either side of the chorusline. First, Jimmy Tatro is reportedly in talks to voice Gorilla Grodd in the Jimmy Olsen TV spinoff series that is supposedly titled DC Crime. Elsewhere, Deadline sources claim Xolo Marideuna is set to suit up as the Blue Beetle once more in Man of Tomorrow, the sequel to 2025's Superman.Avengers: Doomsday tickets go on sale July 20, and the early sale announcement comes with a confirmed runtime of 165 minutes. Julianne Nicholson joins Season 2 of HBO's Task, reprising her Emmy-winning Mare of Easttown role as Lori Ross and officially placing the two shows in the same universe. Prime Video released first look images at Carrie, Mike Flanagan's series adaptation of the Stephen King novel, coming this fall. Paramount has closed a deal for U.S. rights to Wes Craven's original A Nightmare on Elm Street screenplay, with plans to adapt it into a new feature. Sam Neill, star of Jurassic Park, The Piano, and In the Mouth of Madness, has died at 78. The live-action Moana opened to $95 million worldwide, well under projections, with Deadline reporting the film stands to lose $100-125 million. Warner Bros. dropped the first trailer for Digger, Alejandro G. Iñárritu's film starring Tom Cruise as oil baron Digger Rockwell, in theaters October 2. The M3GAN spinoff Soulm8te is skipping theaters after being pulled from Universal's calendar and heads straight to digital on August 1. The 2026 Emmy nominations were announced last week and are led by HBO Max's The Pitt with 25 nominations, narrowly ahead of the final season of Hacks with 24, making them the clear frontrunners heading into September's ceremony. The first trailer arrived for Buddy, Casper Kelly's horror comedy starring Cristin Milioti and Keegan-Michael Key, hitting theaters August 28.New Line's The Conuring prequel The Conjuring: First Communion has cast Garrett Wareing and Amanda Fix in lead roles. The pair will play young versions of franchise characters Ed and Lorraine Warren.A coalition of a dozen states on Monday sued to block Paramount Skydance's acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery, posing a new challenge to the $110 billion deal that would unite two of the nation's largest media companies.

It's late January, and the intrepid Film Comment crew is on the ground reporting from an extra special edition of the Sundance Film Festival—the last to take place on the snowy slopes of Park City, Utah, the festival's home since 1981, before moving to Boulder, Colorado in 2027. For the next week, we'll be gathering the best critics on the scene to talk about each day's premieres on the Podcast. To kick things off, Film Comment Editor Devika Girish invited programmer Madeline Whittle (Film at Lincoln Center) as well as critics Robert Daniels (RogerEbert.com) and Will Tavlin (n+1) to share their responses to the films premiering during the first few days of the fest. The group discusses the tongue-in-cheek Charli XCX mockumentary The Moment (3:30), Casper Kelly's dark comedy Buddy (20:15), and Beth de Araujo's sophomore feature Josephine (29:50). Stay tuned for more of our Sundance 2026 coverage.
