MOVIE: DIANI & DEVINE MEET THE APOCALYPSE

 

 

A very broad satire that comments on all sorts of things: the gig economy (which they are a part of but in an old fashioned meaning), zombie movies, end of the world dystopias. Their stand-up routine points back to vaudeville even with their physical beings-like Laurel and Hardy-one skinny and tall, the other plump, short and round. Add in a good dash of Cohen Bros zaniness (Raising AZ) and their penchant for putting their characters into bizarre situation. Another oddity: these guys, Etta Devine and Gabriel Diani are not mainstream. Yet they have this film like they're established stars akin to the Hope/Crosby "Road" movies. It's a strange flick but worth your time. From 2016.
