When Kevin Daniels got a call from his agent’s mom that she’d pitched him for the lead role in a film she was producing, it didn’t take much for him to say “yes.”

“We had a zoom meeting and we kind of laughed and told some jokes and they were like, ‘Hey, you want to come down to Savannah?’ and I was like, ‘I like Savannah. That sounds nice,’” Daniels tells The Hollywood Reporter.

The film was Not Another Church Movie, a spoof comedy of Tyler Perry’s Madea series, written, directed and produced by Johnny Mack (Real Husbands of Hollywood), which is set to hit theaters on May 10. In it, Daniels, stars as the hardworking Taylor Pherry, a man given a mission directly from God (Jamie Foxx) to write a story about his dysfunctional family to save billionaire talk show host Hoprah Windfall’s plummeting TV ratings.

When weathering a political climate of hate, one coping mechanism is satire. Animators Wayne Stamps, David Corbett, and Tyree Dillihay employ this technique well. B-Rock: The First Term is a new web series featuring our Commander in Chief as a chain-smoking smooth talker with William Shatner's cadence who turns into a hulking mass of muscle when he doesn't get his Cool nicotine fix. All the hyperbolic trappings of cartooned political commentary are present, including an emaciated Ann Coulter making ludicrous claims about the President's past, a Barack Obama who's good with the ladies and soft on criminals, and a Rahm Emanuel who yells a lot of expletives. The series is like Current's SuperNews with a focus on the White House. Stamps created B-Rock and Stamps, Corbett, and Dillihay are all on board as executive producers. Aaron Simpson at Cold Hard Flash reports the trio have completed 12 episodes of the series.
