Summary
Get on your dancing shoes and join Guy and Rob (because it only takes two to tango) for 2014’s Cuban Fury. Something of a passion project for Nick Frost, who basically wanted to learn how to dance and probably wanted to be the main character in a wish-fulfillment Rom Com. There’s some transatlantic crossover here as Rashida Jones of The Office, Parks and Rec, and being the daughter of famous people, joined the mainly British and Irish cast.We’ve covered Nick Frost before, of course, but never as a leading man, and while he teamed up with Nira Park and Big Talk once again, there was no trace of Edgar Wright here, but just the tiniest bit of Simon Pegg. To pair a TV show with this, it made sense to pick the first time Frost had a lead role in a sitcom as well, the divisive Hyperdrive. Starting in 2006 and running for two series, this was Kevin Cecil and Andy Riley’s (them again) venture into the unknown, for a space set sci-fi sitcom with just a few echoes of the two big hitters that came before it.To find out if Rob and Guy liked either Hyperdrive or Cuban Fury, you’ll need to tune in for episode seven, which, in a series laden with guests, stands out as one for the purists. Can Rob claw back the quiz deficit? Will Guy mention The Beatles? Will we have a challenger for the upper or lower places in the league table? Only one way to know for sure!Hyperdrive Series 1https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rz-1c2o1Dxw&list=PL2907664D333F4F02Hyperdrive - Starting Therapyhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZNbKr4cm1-8Cuban Fury - Trailerhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FFSP9iO71AECuban Fury - Kayvan Novakhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GrllJthntlECuban Fury - Al Pacino Impressionhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eVaVICJF_gQ Learn more about your ad choices.
