Once it was announced that the masterful Documentary Now! was given the greenlight to mock another fresh batch of real-life documentaries, fans were pondering which classic nonfiction films creators Bill Hader, Fred Armisen, Seth Meyers and Rhys Thomas would choose. Well, have we got some awesome news for you. During IFC’s upfront event, Seth Meyers revealed the inspirations behind and plots for three upcoming Documentary Now! First we have The Bunker, which uses the 1993 political documentary The War Room with James Carville and George Stephanopoulos to skewer the insane world of ’90s politics. The episode follows two scheming, cocky campaign managers (Hader and Armisen) working on the heated race for the Governor of Ohio. Lies will be told, death threats will be made, and questionable ’90s fashion choices will surface, all in the camcorder-documented fight to get their underdog candidate to the top. We loved Bill’s impression of Carville on SNL, so we can’t wait to see what he and Fred have cooked up for The Bunker.

Next is Juan Likes Rice and Chicken which, you may have already guessed, is a satirical take on the charming 2011 documentary Jiro Dreams of Sushi. Shot in Colombia, the episode follows young chef Arturo (Armisen) and his brother as they learn the tricks of the trade from their stern, no-nonsense father Juan — who just happens to run a highly-acclaimed restaurant that only serves one dish made with painstaking precision: chicken and buttered rice. buy jiro dreams of sushi(Watch the trailer for Jiro Dreams of Sushi below.)sushi cape town all you can eat And finally there’s Globesmen, which is a parody of the 1968 Maysles Brothers’ documentary Salesman that followed a wearied quartet of door-to-door Bible salesmen. yo sushi delivery menu

In Doc Now!, however, four hard-working businessmen try their best to sell globes to a community of people who find them too expensive and ultimately prefer atlases. Feeling pressure from their regional manager, and dealing with the constant rejection from customers, the salesmen do anything they can to reinvent the globe as a need-to-have household item. The last time Bill and Fred tackled a Mayles’ doc (the classic film Grey Gardens), we got the sweatpants headwrap-wearing great dames of Sandy Passage. where to get sushi grade fish san diegoYou probably want to check out the trailer for Salesman below to bone up before Bill and Fred unleash their comedic magic on another groundbreaking documentary.spring sushi menu toronto We’ll have to wait until this fall to catch the full seven episode second season of Documentary Now!, but be sure to catch up on season one right now on Netflix and iTunes. how to get sushi rice to stick together

The half-hour comedy series hails from executive producers Bill Hader, Fred Armisen, Rhys Thomas, and Seth Meyers, with each episode parodying a genre of documentary filmmaking. Season 1 took on Grey Gardens, Vice, and a music documentary following a Blue Oyster Cult-esque band called the “Blue Jean Committee”, and Season 2 looks even better.jiro dreams of sushi still alive The second season of the series will tackle the 1993 documentary The War Room, which chronicled Bill Clinton’s presidential campaign, as well as Jiro Dreams of Sushi, the 1969 doc Salesman, a concert documentary take on the Talking Heads’ Stop Making Sense, and a two-part season capper on The Kid Stays in the Picture. We previously saw a hilarious clip from the War Room episode, and while this trailer doesn’t go too deep into footage, it gives a nice overview of what’s to come without spoiling what are surely the best jokes.

Among the highlights are the duo's expertly retro takes on the Maysles' Salesman, in which Hader and Armisen play inept globe salesmen ("It says 'Bermuba' instead of 'Bermuda,'" a young boy points out).

The trailer finds Armisen and Hader playing political foes in a parody of The War Room, Pennebaker and Chris Hegedus' 1993 doc about Bill Clinton's presidential campaign, and staging a farewell concert for an art-pop band in an homage to the Talking Heads' Stop Making Sense (that episode will reportedly guest star Maya Rudolph and feature songs written by Armisen). The pair will also offer takes on Spalding Gray's one-man show, Swimming to Cambodia, food documentaries like Jiro Dreams of Sushi and the Robert Evans doc, The Kid Stays in the Picture, about a filmmaker who keeps making awful Oscar-bait pictures.returns to IFC September 14th at 10 p.m. ET. Blue Jean Committee Help Hall & Oates Announce Summer Tour Watch Blue Jean Committee's Sun-Soaked 'Catalina Breeze' Fred Armisen on 'SNL': 3 Sketches You Have to SeeSee videos on HYPEBEAST TV Nonprofit organization MAD traveled to Japan with René Redzepi, founder of MAD and chef-patron of Copenhagen-based restaurant Noma, to document his meeting with legendary Japanese sushi chef Jiro Ono.

Many will recognize Jiro-san as the subject of the acclaimed 2011 documentary, Jiro Dreams of Sushi; since the film’s release, the sushi chef’s prominence and international reputation has only grown. He’s had the pleasure in serving President Barack Obama in his tiny Tokyo restaurant Sukiyabashi Jiro, which boasts full capacity every night in addition to a months-long waiting list for diners. The chef’s own sushi apprentice Daisuke Nakazawa has also been bursting on the New York City culinary scene recently. In the video above, chef Redzepi pays a visit to Sukiyabashi Jiro in Tokyo for a heartwarming chat that the 90-year-old legend proclaims will probably be his last interview. It’s a charming encounter with the sushi chef that takes place inside the famed restaurant, accompanied by plenty of wise words on chasing your dreams and adopting a hard work ethic from Jiro-san. Aside from running his restaurants, Jiro-san’s future endeavors include making sushi creations at the 2020 Tokyo Summer Olympics.
