New Yearâs Day is on its way, and with it, the usual efforts to recover from revelry-based ordeals of New Yearâs Eve. Really, itâs the perfect day to curl up with a laptop, cruise over to Amazon Prime, and let Molly Shannon and Will Ferrell yell at you for a couple of hours.
Thatâs the promise of the streaming serviceâs new Funny Or Die special, The 2018 Rose Parade Hosted by Cord & Tish, which, as the name suggests, is offering itself up as an alternative to more traditional January 1 fare. The special will star Shannon and Ferrell as a pair of bickering local news celebs, fake-chippering their way through the dayâs marching-based events.
If you want something a little more low-key and trippy, meanwhile, youâll have to wait a week; thatâs when the streamerâs new sci-fi series, Philip K. Dickâs Electric Dreams, will waft into its catalog. The anthology series promises to dip into a number of the Blade Runner authorâs obsessions, including identity and the nature of reality. (No Will Ferrell, though.)
Meanwhile, thereâs also the latest season of Doctor Who on offer, andâfor those willing to pony up some cashâthe spectacle of Gerard Butlerâs ludicrously conceived disaster thriller Geostorm. That one you have to pay for, though; Geostorm donât come for free.
