Mating Season: Animals Dating, One-Night Stands, and Copulatory Ties

Nick Kroll Convinced Netflix to Air Animated Animal Sex | 2… · Jun 1, 2026 TV & Film

Mating Season opens with Nick Kroll's raccoon character stuck in a copulatory tie with Sarah Silverman's skunk after a one-night stand — physically unable to separate, facing the classic 'what happens when a one-night stand won't leave?' scenario. The show uses animal relationships to explore love, community, and abundance versus scarcity in ways that land both as huge laughs and genuine emotion.

Raccoons, Black Voice, & Building the Mating Season Universe

At 50:15 · chapter starts 39:33

Kroll has a documented history with raccoons: they appear in Oh, Hello, in Big Mouth, and now as the lead character in Mating Season. The night before table reads began, a raccoon sat in his backyard and refused to be dislodged by tennis balls, which Kroll interpreted as the raccoon community demanding respect. The show's first episode establishes the tone immediately: Ray the raccoon has a one-night stand with a skunk (voiced by Sarah Silverman), and the two become stuck in a copulatory tie — biologically unable to separate. The comedy that follows is both explicitly physical and emotionally grounded, exploring what happens when your one-night stand literally cannot leave. Bert provides the most detailed audience response in the room, calling out specific scenes — the lesbian truffle hunt, the Gay Moose coming-out reveal — as evidence that the show is measuring its dirty content against emotional truth exactly the way Big Mouth did.

Frank Caliendo told Bert Kreischer on live radio that he could do an impression of Bert good enough to fool Leanne. Bert called his wife, said hello, handed the phone to Caliendo, who immediately handed it back. Bert finished the call himself, doing an impression of himself. Leanne was confused. Caliendo had already done it.

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.

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.
