Zach Galifianakis’ Funny or Die series “Between Two Ferns” will soon be a movie, with a global release on Netflix on Sept. 20.
“Between Two Ferns: The Movie” is directed by co-creator Scott Aukerman, who co-wrote with Galifianakis. For the uninitiated, “Between Two Ferns” features Galifianakis on a comically low-budget set as he conducts awkward, often combative interviews (full of factual errors) with famous people. Notable guests have included Brad Pitt, Jon Hamm, Hillary Clinton, and then-President Barack Obama, among others.
Created by Aukerman and Galifianakis, the show debuted on Funny or Die in 2008. Twenty-one episodes have been produced, as well as a 2012 Comedy Central special.
