Unfrosted, Jerry Seinfeld’s puffed pastry of a directorial debut, is overloaded with famous friends, celebrity cameos and references to current events. The comedian had an idea that would have combined all three elements, but it turned out to be a recipe for potential disaster. Seinfeld joined David Spade and Dana Carvey on their Fly on the Wall podcast and revealed that he made a personal pitch to longtime friend Chris Rock, saying that he wanted to make a direct reference to the infamous 2022 Oscars slap during the film. The scene never came to fruition, though, and the proposed role ended up going to Cedric the Entertainer with no references to The Slap whatsoever.
Meanwhile, another directorial debut hits screens this weekend, but if critics are to be trusted, you’re gonna want to stay very far away from it. Since its debut at last year’s Toronto International Film Festival, Chris Pine’s Poolman has been panned to a degree unseen since The Room. Despite the negative critical consensus, however, Pine refuses to be rattled. He made an appearance on Josh Horowitz’s Happy Sad Confused podcast and told the actor-turned-podcaster that the reviews convinced him that he made “a pile of shit.” But after rewatching the film, he said that the “not-so-joyous” reviews instead reminded him to “double down on joy” anytime he can and re-profess his love for Poolman.
There’s definitely some sweet, sweet joy on the timeline thanks to a new batch of hilarious tweets. Today’s funniest include those about upgraded rims, an iPad suggestion and the latest autistic fixation.
