Eric Andre Reveals the Plot of Little Brother

Eric Andre Goes Full Korean · Jun 22, 2026 TV & Film

Eric Andre breaks down his new Netflix film with John Cena: he plays a 'little brother' from a 30-year-old mentorship program who shows up in the hospital after a car accident, slowly infiltrates Cena's entire life, and drives him insane. The pitch is 'What About Bob meets Parasite' — and it sounds genuinely great.

Where this was said

Pitching a Korean Sitcom

At 1:03:54 · chapter starts 1:01:00

Eric Andre finally gets the floor to pitch his Netflix film in his own words. He plays Eric, a man whose life was transformed at age 10 by a Big Brother program participant — a teenage John Cena who only signed up to pad his college resume. Thirty years later, Cena gets a hospital call about 'his brother' being in a car accident, rushes over expecting a biological sibling, and opens the curtain to find Eric — broken, bleeding, in a medical halo. What follows, as Eric describes it, is a slow infiltration: the wife is enchanted, the kids adore him, colleagues want him, and Cena's real estate reality show starts to pivot away from Cena and toward Eric. Bobby and Andrew both call it an immediate Netflix top 10. Andrew confirms he has already watched it. Eric also gets plugged as the first-ever guest on The Bad Game Show, with Bobby and Andrew expressing genuine excitement. The episode closes warmly, with Eric delivering the traditional 'thank you for being a bad friend' sign-off to camera.

Rico has already appeared in Den of Thieves, Den of Thieves 2, and Roadhouse alongside Jake Gyllenhaal and Dave Bautista. Jason Statham is developing a specific role for him. Working alongside elite actors taught Rico something about himself: the emotional suppression that makes him a great fighter is exactly the material that makes great acting — if he learns to stop pushing it away.

Berlin Islamic Terror Suspect Killed, Troy Jackson’s Aborti… · Jul 27, 2026 TV & Film

Trump joked that Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. personally ran over, butchered, and delivered the evening's beef tenderloin to the dinner — then topped it with a punchline about RFK wanting to serve raccoon roadkill as an appetizer. The crowd's laughter at jokes targeting his own administration signaled a rare night of good-natured self-deprecation from Trump.

The Thor Audition That Changed Everything

Alan Ritchson · Jul 27, 2026 TV & Film

Alan Ritchson walked into a Thor audition with his sides still in his hand, half-assed it on a spotlight-lit stage before two silhouettes in a dark theater, and bombed so completely that the casting director broke protocol to call his team. The feedback? He had no craft. That one sentence sent him to acting school — and changed the trajectory of everything.

Buying a Tesla Before He Booked the Job

Alan Ritchson · Jul 27, 2026 TV & Film

Alan Ritchson walked out of his Titans audition so sure he'd booked the lead that he called his wife and told her he was going to buy a Tesla. She said he hadn't booked it. He went and bought the car anyway. His instincts were right — he was offered the role — just not the one he wanted.

Reacher: 56 Million Viewers, One Character

Alan Ritchson · Jul 27, 2026 TV & Film

Reacher drew 56 million global viewers in a single week of Season 2. Alan Ritchson points out what makes it unusual: unlike ensemble shows, almost all of that visibility lands on one person. It's an anthology with a rotating cast built around a single titular character — and the scale of it is something even he calls unprecedented.

Motor City: The Silent Film No One Could Get Made for 15 Years

Alan Ritchson · Jul 27, 2026 TV & Film

Motor City has no spoken dialogue. Every major leading man in Hollywood — Jake Gyllenhaal, Hugh Jackman, Gerard Butler, Adrian Brody — was attached at some point. It was greenlit nine times. The concept was simple: Greg Silverman wanted a film everyone in the world could watch with the exact same experience, regardless of language. Alan Ritchson read the script and called it a masterpiece.

Arnold Schwarzenegger on Fame and Gratitude

Alan Ritchson · Jul 27, 2026 TV & Film

Working with Arnold Schwarzenegger showed Alan Ritchson what 100% recognition looks like. People feel Schwarzenegger before they see him — like a meteor approaching. Alan's wife wants a strict no-photos policy around family. Arnold stops for everyone. The contrast was a master class in how gratitude should manifest when fame is inescapable.
