Awesome Taika Waititi

Writer/director Taika Waititi takes a break from big-budget superhero movies with a return to indie form. Next Goal Wins is a lighthearted underdog comedy about a coach (Michael Fassbender) who reluctantly relocates to American Samoa to help fix the world’s worst international soccer team.

If you didn’t watch season one of Reservation Dogs, head over to Hulu, and watch it today. Sterlin Harjo and Taika Waititi’s comedy about indigenous people coming of age in America is hilarious, bittersweet, powerful, and unique. The new season looks to uphold those standards and premieres on 8.3.2022.

After saving Earth again, Thor is back, and so is his old squeeze Jane Foster to prove she’s also worthy of the mighty Mjolnir. But all is not sunshine, lollipops, and roses as Christian Bale’s evil Gorr shows up and is ready to slay all of the gods. Taika Waititi’s latest Marvel flick is sure to bring as much humor as it does action.

Taika Waititi returns to the MCU with his follow-up to the brilliant Thor: Ragnarok. The story follows our hero as he takes a break from the action but finds his peace interrupted by Gorr the God Butcher. Chris Hemsworth and Natalie Portman are back, adding Tessa Thompson as King Valkyrie and Christian Bale as Gorr. Drops 7.8.22.

Rhys Darby (Murray from Flight of the Conchords) stars in this high-seas comedy adventure series about a wealthy man who abandons his life of privilege to become a pirate. Taika Waititi, the busiest man in Hollywood, does double duty as Executive Producer and performs as Blackbeard. Premieres 3.2022 on HBO Max.

“Sure, I don’t fit into the Deadpool suit anymore.” Ryan Reynolds says that 2021 was a “real growth year” for him in this promo clip for Free Guy. But judging by his extra-swole new “Dude” look he’s talking strictly about Human Growth Hormone.

Created by Taika Waititi and Sterlin Harjo, this comedy series follows the story of four indigenous American teenagers and their adventures as they attempt to make their way from rural Oklahoma to the elusive and exotic land of California. Streaming 8.9.2021 on FX on Hulu.

This absurd dark comedy follows a couple who move into a low rent apartment, only to find wacked-out cult members start breaking in to commit ritualistic suicides. If that doesn’t sound funny to you, think again – that’s Taika Waititi as the cult leader, accompanied by an excellent comedic ensemble cast.

When he’s not directing Thor movies or working on What We Do in The Shadows, director Taika Waititi is going back to his roots, making quirky and offbeat movies, with this satire about a young German boy who must rethink his beliefs when he discovers his mother is hiding a young Jewish girl from Hitler’s army.

If you’ve never seen Taika Waititi’s vampire mockumentary What We Do in the Shadows, you must watch it. Waititi and Jemaine Clement have teamed up with FX for a TV spin-off. It doesn’t retain the original cast, but still looks hilarious. Premieres 3/27/19.
