Asperger’s Are Us is a Duplass Brothers documentary following a 4-man comedy troupe getting ready for their last show, before they go their separate ways. That these young men have aspergers is less important than the relationships they have with each other, and their family and friends. Directed by Alex Lehmann (Blue Jay), you will get a glimpse into the lives of these friends, nay… brothers, who give it their last hurrah, before making new journeys without each other.

“So if we’re not funny, blame Ethan’s disability.”

Asperger’s Are Us is two things: a former comedy troupe made up of four friends with varying degrees of autism, and a documentary chronicling their story and last show together. These young men, Ethan Finlan, New Michael Ingemi, Noah Britton, and Jack Hanke, give us a look inside real friendships, that most people don’t get to see.

HBO’s new series Togetherness has just become my new favorite TV show.

Star Mark Duplass recently appeared on Conan with his brother, Jay Duplass, who co-created and co-wrote the HBO drama with him. Host Conan O’Brien asked the brothers about a scene in the third episode, “Insanity” (which aired on January 25th), where Mark’s character Brett tries to motivate his long-time best friend Alex (Steve Zissis, fellow co-creator and writer) by using Rush’s “Tom Sawyer” as inspiration, resulting in the friends doing a whole synchronized air-drumming sequence. The brothers, who explained that that part of the episode was based their real-life experience from college, got the host to join them in recreating the air-drumming scene.

HBO has ordered a season two for Togetherness, the new dramedy from brothers Jay Duplass and Mark Duplass, as well as Steve Zissis.

The show follows a married couple trying desperately to refresh their long-stale relationship, while his best friend and her sister move in with them while they try to figure out where their own lives are going.

The first trailer has been released for the upcoming horror movie The Lazarus Effect, which comes from David Gelb, the documentary filmmaker behind the excellent Jiro Dreams of Sushi.

The movie stars Mark Duplass, Olivia Wilde, Donald Glover, Evan Peters, and Sarah Bolger, and follows a group of medical students who figure out a way to bring the dead back to life.

You can check out the trailer for The Lazarus Effect below, and then hope with me that it’s better than The Butterfly Effect.
