What’s Worth Watching: Method Acting on Big TIme in Hollywood, FL

Big Time in Hollywood, FL, “Severance” (Wednesday, March 25, 10:30/9:30c, Comedy Central)

Brothers Jack (Alex Anfanger) and Ben (Lenny Jacobson) dream of making movies in Hollywood, CA, where it’s been said that the sun shines bright, the beaches are wide, and the orange groves stretch as far as the eye can see. But in reality, they are talent-less jerks living with their parents (scene stealers Kathy Baker and Stephen Tobolowsky) in Hollywood, Fl, where the sun does shine bright, but it’s the butts that are wide, and…why would they give a lick about oranges? In tonight’s series premiere, the boys meet an aging actor (Ben Stiller, not playing himself) at an addiction support group and convince him to play a drug dealer in a terrible scheme to keep their parents from kicking them out of the house. There’s no fun or games, and yet, somebody still gets hurt—or shot dozens of times in the chest. As Jack and Ben might say, “same difference.”
