FLIGHT OF THE CONCHORDS SHOW MOVIE
The question is whether this is something completely new, or if this is came from the Flight of the Conchords movie that Clement mentioned they were working on back in 2015. The show concluded all too soon, and there's plenty of avenues left for the Flight of the Conchords special to explore.
It's been nine years since we've gotten anything new from Flight of the Conchords, and fans have hoped for some kind of revival for years. Then he clarified by saying, "We're going to shoot an hour thing." During the questioning, Clement confirmed that he and McKenzie will be shooting "a little something" at some point this year. Speaking to The AV Club during the Television Critics Association winter press tour, Clement was answering questions about an upcoming stage tour that will take them through the United Kingdom. Thankfully, it sounds like they won't be waiting much longer.Īccording to Jemaine Clement, New Zealand's fourth most popular guitar-based digi-bongo acapella-rap-funk-comedy folk duo will be shooting an hour-long special sometime this year. After two seasons, Jemaine Clement and Bret McKenzie called it quits in 2009, and fans have always wanted more.
FLIGHT OF THE CONCHORDS SHOW SERIES
Our original article follows.Īs quickly as the HBO comedy series Flight of the Conchords became a hit in the United States, it came to an end. Mel feels that she should have an apology for this and Jemaine agrees.Update: HBO has announced that the Flight of the Conchords special will air this May and will be filmed live during the duo's United Kingdom tour. When questioned, Bret consults Jemaine for advice to which Jemaine responds with “Because he’s a dick.” Jim hears this and is understandably upset.Īt a second gig in the consulate elevator, the boys provide a slowed down version of Who Likes To Rock The Party? Following the performance, Mel thanks Jemaine for something he did in her dream – we don’t find out what this is but Jemaine is disgusted – and states that Bret did something that upset her, which again disgusts Jemaine.
Out of politeness and against Jemaine’s advice, Bret phones Jim and says that they’re unavailable. Jim’s conversation style is essentially a bombardment of questions.įollowing the BBQ, Jim leaves a message on the boys’ answer phone to see if they want to hang out. Jim’s played by Jim Gaffigan who you may recognise from his role as Doug – Eric, Kelso and Hyde’s boss – in That 70’s Show. Now comfortable that the boys have achieved friend status, Murray invites them to a BBQ at his house where they’ll get to meet Jim. They end up making a fort and what follows is a montage of the three of them embarking on a number of friend activities such as having a sleep. Finding out that the boys don’t drink or share feelings, he asks what they like to do – Jemaine states that he quite likes to have a sleep. Organised as ever, he comes prepared with a list of things to do that includes having coffee, sharing their feelings and drinking. In an attempt to move to the next level, Murray visits the boys at their apartment. She proceeds to tell the boys that they were in her dreams and launches into a song called Dreams which was awful. Later, whilst they’re out cycling, the boys are accosted by Mel who presents them with cookies from her ‘fannypack’ (not that one! It’s what the Americans call bum bags!). We later see the boys perform Who Likes To Rock The Party? in the elevator of the consulate. The matter of gigs is also discussed, the boys express their concerns at the size of venues they’re playing to which Murray replies, “There’s no such thing as small venues, only small bands.” The boys mention a gig at a camper van, which Murray points out, was a sell out.
The boys seem confused, having not heard of Jim, but decide to entertain Murray’s idea anyway.
