Next 'South Park' Special Fattens Up In 'The End Of Obesity'; Watch Trailer

Posted by on
  Where in the world is season 27 of South Park ? The public certainly doesn’t know. If the trades do, they’re not saying. But somehow, the next Paramount+ special is coming anyway, specifically next week. The streamer has announced “The End of Obesity” will take South Park on an Ozempic tale when it premieres May 24 in the United States and Canada, and May 25 in Australia, Latin America, Brazil, France, Italy, Germany, Switzerland and Austria. It’s somewhat better advance notice than what the previous special “ (Not Suitable For Children) ” received, as while it had “print” ads on websites and its trailer ran on YouTube , it wasn’t officially released and properly uploaded until the day of its December 20 release. The description tells that new weight loss drugs have entered the culture of South Park, to massive impact.

Showtime Has Released The Trailer For Original Film 'Heist 88'

Posted by on


Showtime on Thursday released the trailer for Heist 88, the crime drama original film starring Courtney B.Vance, premiering via stream on the Paramount+ with Showtime plan on Friday, September 29, before debuting on linear Showtime on Sunday, October 1, at 9 p.m. ET/PT. 

Inspired by one of the largest bank robberies in U.S. history, Heist 88 is set in 1988, at a time before widespread computerization and the cybersecurity protections of today. The plot centers on Jeremy Horne, played by Vance, a criminal mastermind who decides on one last job before he begins his prison sentence. He enlists four young bankers to rob nearly $80 million dollars through a sophisticated exploit of the banking wire system. 

It's directed by Menhaj Huda and written by Dwayne Johnson-Cochran, and co-stars Keith David as expert safecracker Buddha Ray, Keesha Sharp as elegant and intelligent political consultant and Horne's love interest Bree Barnes, Xavier Clyde as nerdy comic-book collector Danny Pugh, Bentley Green as cocky, energy-filled DJ Marshall King, Nican Robinson as young, loyal "back of the bank" employee of six years Rick Windom, and Precious Way as LaDonna Sanders, another more ambitious but less visible bank employee.

Heist 88 is executive produced by Vance, his wife Angela Bassett, Johnson-Cochran, Lynnette Ramirez, and Floris Bauer for Bassett Vance Productions and Van Toffler and Barry Barclay for Gunpowder & Sky. Amal Baggar, Mychael Chinn, Donny Hugo Herran, Marcia Landsdown and Janee Dabney are the executive producers for MTV Entertainment Studios with Carlos Lugo as the executive in charge of production.

As original movies return to Showtime, Heist 88 will be followed the very next week by William Friedkin's last film The Caine Mutiny Court-Martial, with an identical rollout.
