His acting hasn't improved, then.

I always thought the name Pop Tarts sounded a bit rude. Like I wasn't allowed to say it. And so I could never ask Nan to put some on the shopping list for me and subsequently haven't eaten one in my life.

[madhair60]

personally, i think this will be funny

[imitationleather]

It looks quite broad. As Barry Norman used to say, "I don't know if this is good or not."

[Brundle-Fly]

It's got a nice Mars Attacks!!!look.

According to Wiki, "Initially called Fruit Scones, the name was soon changed to Pop-Tarts as a pun on the then popular Pop Art movement."

Seems obvious now.

I ate a Pop Tart when they first came over here in the early 90's. Nasty. Don't understand why anyone would want that to be the first thing to line their stomach in the morning.

[Noodle Lizard]

Can u say EPIC?

[Video Game Fan 2000]

these pop tarts are making me unfunny

[Urinal Cake]

The biggest thing about this seems to be Amy Schumer is back?

[Icehaven]

I really don't think pop tarts have any place in our Lord's plan for the world.

[Oosp]

I'm with Madhair on this one

Jon Hamm and John Slattery both appear in the cast list at the end and this is set in the 60s so is it 100% safe to say that there will be a hilarious scene where they recruit un-named versions of Don Draper and Roger Sterling to advertise the pop tart.

Who have they cast as Lynn Faulds-Wood, issuing ominous warnings on Watchdog about the third degree burns children get from these things getting stuck to their flesh?

[convulsivespace]

Trailers for comedies are never good, but I'm cautiously optimistic if Spike Feresten and Andy Robin are back writing it. Could be funny as a sendup of brand biopics.

*Edit* Apparently they already all collaborated on Bee Movie, so never mind.

[C_Larence]

The most incredible thing about this is Amy Schumer somehow securing the "And" spot in that cast list.

[Bad Ambassador]

I'm thinking of this as a parody of Oppenheimer.

[Ruben Remus]

The thing is, this film has apparently been in development for about 3-4 years (the deal with Netflix was announced in mid 2021 and Seinfeld says they started writing the script during the onset of the covid pandemic) so it seems like a bit of coincidental timing that it reads as a pointed parody of the recent spate of brand-mythologising biopics like Air, Blackberry, Tetris etc.

Poppenheimer

Tartology

[Goldentony]

string of pop tarts puns will be worse than this film existing in the first place and also worse than the effects of the bomb built by Oppenheimer

[Mister Six]

This seems like something 30 Rock would drop in as a spoof, rather than a film that will exist in the real world.

The scripts for those would have been written around the same time, so just a straightout coincidence, and the Blackberry one was good.  I saw the Gamestop one also, very good.
