Mike Myers Talks ‘The Pentaverate’ and Lorne Michaels’ Failed Movie Pitch at Netflix Is a Joke Fest

Zack Sharf Mike Myers wants more Shrek in his life. During a career-spanning video interview with GQ magazine, the iconic comedian said he’d be “thrilled” if he  was able to do one “Shrek” movie a year. Variety reported in 2018 that Universal was tasking Illumination founder Chris Meledandri with overseeing a “Shrek” revival, but a new installment has yet to be officially announced.“The Euro-centric form that is the fairytale is really about classicism,” Myers said.

Mike Myers can currently be seen playing multiple characters in “The Pentaverate”, his new conspiracy comedy series for Netflix.

It turns out Samuel L. Jackson isn’t banned from “Saturday Night Live”, after all.

One of Mike Myers’ most famous characters was influenced by his mom.

Every year around this time – Saturday Night Live’s finale is May 21 – the rumor mill starts as to how the venerable comedy variety series will look next year.

Natasha Lyonne is making her Saturday Night Live hosting debut on the season finale.

I’ve seen you DJ at the Oscar Nominees Luncheon before, but you have a background in music that goes well beyond that, right?(Laughs) Yeah, yeah. I actually grew up in a musical family. My dad was a composer, jazz guitar player and producer at Capitol Records.

The Guardian found the series “sweet, silly [and] charmingly harmless,” many echoed The Daily Beast, who labeled it “embarrassingly bad.” The series costars Ken Jeong, Keegan-Michael Key, Debi Mazer and Jennifer Saunders. Meanwhile the series finale of “Ozark” kept the No. 1 spot globally with 102.1 million minutes viewed, up from last week’s 78.4 million.

Selome Hailu “The Pentaverate,” Netflix’s limited series starring Mike Myers as eight different characters in a story about five “nice” guys who run the entire world, didn’t make a dent in the streamer’s newly released Top 10 rankings.It’s a significant flop for Myers, who was a box office darling in the ‘90s and early 2000s for his starring in projects including the “Shrek,” “Austin Powers” and “Wayne’s World” films. But as Variety’s review noted, Myer’s heyday is behind him, and “The Pentaverate” points to “a feature, not a bug” in Netflix’s content strategy of “writ[ing] giant checks to anyone who might bring in more viewers.”The May 2-8 viewing window marked the first full week of availability for Season 4 of “Ozark,” which remained in the No.

Fans are losing it over the return of Shrek.

Adam ChitwoodThe all-star cast of Steve Carell, Julianne Moore, Ryan Gosling, Emma Stone and young Joey King really make this movie. It is just the right amount of chaotic with some pretty sweet connections at the end. Cal Weaver (Carell) is floored when his wife of almost 25 years Emily (Moore) blurts out at dinner that she wants to get divorced.

Hollywood Reporter.The “Silver Linings Playbook” director, 63, noted how several of Myers’ movies have splurged out memorable music, including Madonna’s “Beautiful Stranger.”The chat then shifted to Beyoncé, who made her film debut as Foxxy Cleopatra in the Jay Roach flick.The Canadian-born funnyman stated that everyone on set “fell in love with her.” Myers also joked that costar Michael Caine had trouble pronouncing the Grammy winner’s name and left off the “é.”“Nobody wanted to correct him,” Myers said, adding that he also introduced the “Dreamgirls” star to Led Zeppelin.“’I don’t know this Led Zeppelin,’” Myers remembered Beyoncé saying at the time. However, just a few days later during shooting “Austin Powers in Goldmember,” Myers found her jamming out to the band on her headphones.

Caroline Framke Chief TV CriticWatching “The Pentaverate” with the purpose of reviewing it gave me enormous sympathy for Wile E. Coyote trying to trap the Roadrunner while knowing, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that it would end in him getting flattened.
