Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt: Kimmy vs the Reverend is now streaming on Netflix.
"It's two-thirty in the damn morning! That's when Mark Wahlbergs wake up."
Oh, Titus Andromedon, how we've missed you.
What worlds are left for Kimmy to conquer, you might ask? Well, there's marriage, to Daniel Radcliffe's Prince Frederick (a role that, along with TBS' Miracle Workers, helps the Harry Potter icon solidify his comic chops) as well as one final showdown with Jon Hamm's Reverend Dick Wayne - which is kind of a no-brainer, plot-wise, given Hamm's almost unfair ability to be so damn hilarious after spending the better part of the last decade refining brooding, introspective drama.
While Kimmy discovers a clue that points toward the ridiculous Reverend Dick (prison gang name: Vete Pedefilo Blanco) possibly having a second bunker, with even more victims, still out there (there's that crazily morbid logline again!), Titus rails against a new movie action role (because it means getting into shape), Lillian attempts to "temp" Frederick during a Bachelorette party, and Jacqueline, in one of the movie's funniest (and possibly most niche) sidebars, gets locked into a rambling lecture from a screenwriter.
Because Kimmy Schmidt is a comedy, and a surreal one at times, there's a huge amount of playfulness present when it comes to the stalling "time to make a choice" moments, where the characters have to engage in vamping chatter while the viewer makes up their mind. These are often coy and cutesy cutaways where writers Tina Fey and Robert Carlock (along with Sam Means and Meredith Scardino) use whatever's at their disposal to craft comic interludes - even going so far as to make Lillian and Sara Chase's Cyndee literally say who they are over and over for those who might get character names mixed up.
Want to see the Reverend explode? Want to hear Titus slay (or butcher) "Free Bird?" Kimmy vs the Reverend is a labyrinth of laughs that actually encourages you to make the "wrong" choices first because the stakes are never not soaked in silliness. Plus, guest spots from Jack McBrayer, Josh Groban, Johnny Knoxville, Chris Parnell -- and even Kimmy-verse characters Yuko-3000 and Jan the Backpack -- help make this an even giddier affair.
Kimmy vs the Reverend is a sassy, heartfelt snap back into the Kimmy-verse, filled with all the adorably cartoonish characters we fell in love with years ago. The new sheen of stress-free interactive clicking makes you feel like an active part of the lunacy in an environment where going the wrong way is often the best option.
