EXCLUSIVE: In 2009, Justin Roiland (Rick and Morty, Solar Opposites) pitched an animated comedy to Fox that was a mix of family hijinks and screwball variety acts. The result was The Paloni Family Comedy Show, an off-the-rails pilot presentation that failed to make the cut for Fox’s Animation Domination. A show ahead of its time, perhaps?
Looks like the time is now: On Oct. 17, Hulu will air The Paloni Show! Halloween Special!, which follows Leroy, Reggie, and Cheruce Paloni as they host a Halloween Special full of spooky shorts from a group of up-and-coming animators.
Roiland voices Leroy, the oldest sibling in the family who is an optimistic, hard working guy who’s dream is to make and host his own variety show. Zach Hadel (Smiling Friends) plays Reggie, the short-fused, fast talking little brother of Leroy who has a tendency to let his temper get in the way of doing his job as a host.
Pamela Adlon (Better Things) is Cheruce, the alienated middle child who has her own ideas for how the special should have gone. She’s bitter and holds a grudge against her brothers for not embracing her ideas. Rounding out the main cast are Vatche Panos, who voices Little Long Legs; and Kari Wahlgren, who plays Aunt Stephanie, the Paloni’s selfish and gullible aunt who feels that motherhood has robbed her of her best years.
The storyline is similar to what Roiland created with The Paloni Family Comedy Show, which featured Leroy, Grandpa Jo and Leroy’s young brother Marty hosting a variety show from their living room. Check out some scenes from the original presentation below and pay special heed to the clan’s oddly-shaped teeth and useless comedy button. There’s also a glimpse of a creature named “Mustard Girl.” Spinoff potential!

Megan Hilty has broken her silence on the tragedy of her sister’s death, who was pregnant at the time, as well as the loss of her brother-in-law and young nephew. The “Smash” star’s family was killed in a sea plane crash off the coast of Washington state on Sunday.
Andrew Barker Senior Features Writer At this point, complaining about Disney’s deathless drive to cannibalize its entire library of animated classics into live-action remakes can feel as futile as complaining about capitalism itself. The studio has immense IP resources to exploit, a hungry well of content to fill, and a commercial imperative to introduce new generations of kids to the characters they’ll soon be expected to recognize on merch and in theme parks. And in truth, the studio could be doing a lot worse with these trawls through the archives. Once in a while genuine inspiration strikes (as it did with the gothy, revisionist “Maleficent,” or Jon Favreau’s visually inventive “The Jungle Book”), and even the least-fortunate of these remakes have mostly just been forgettable.

Naman Ramachandran The subject of the ongoing Russian invasion of Ukraine, one of the topics of discussion at the Venice Film Festival, bubbled to the surface again on Tuesday with Tilda Swinton making a statement with her hair dyed yellow. “It’s my honor to wear half of the Ukrainian flag,” Swinton said at the press conference for Joanna Hogg’s “The Eternal Daughter,” when complimented on her look by a journalist. Swinton expressed that it was an honor later during the conference as well. The star wore a light blue top, which complements the dark blue of the Ukraine flag. Shot during lockdown, “The Eternal Daughter” follows an artist and her elderly mother who confront long-buried secrets when they return to a former family home, now a hotel haunted by its mysterious past. Swinton plays both mother and daughter. The names of the mother and daughter in the film are Rosalind and Julie, the names for Swinton and her real life daughter Honor Swinton Byrne in Hogg’s “The Souvenir” and “The Souvenir Part II.”
