#TRAILERCHEST: Between Two Ferns could be the funniest film Netflix has ever made

Between Two Ferns

Zach’s back and the amount of celebrities joining him here is incredible.

There are countless moments when Zach Galifianakis established himself as the world’s finest journalist on the beloved web-series, Between Two Ferns.

While the majority of the attention focussed on his interview with Barack Obama, that withering takedown of Bradley Cooper, or his refusal to call Charlize Theron by her actual name, we’re opting for Natalie Portman’s appearance between Hollywood’s most famous plants.

“Did you also shave your ‘V’ for vagina?” he jokingly asked.

Cue crickets.

Deadpan, dry, and utterly hilarious, the comedian cemented his awkward and cutting comedic appeal in the series and now he’s back for more.

In an upcoming movie based on the series, Galifianakis and his oddball crew take a road trip to complete a series of high-profile celebrity interviews because they’re desperately trying to restore his reputation.

As for the interviews, well, the list is incredible.

How about appearances from (deep breath); Matthew McConaughey, Will Ferrell, Peter Dinklage, Benedict Cumberbatch, Paul Rudd, Tiffany Haddish, Brie Larson, Keanu Reeves, Jon Hamm, David Letterman, Jason Schwartzmanm Adam Scott, John Cho, Chance the Rapper, Rashida Jones, Hailee Steinfeld, John Legend, Chrissy Teigen, and Tessa Thompson?

Between Two Ferns: The Movie debuts on Netflix on 20 September.

Take a look at what’s in store.
