Christopher Guest’s Mascots Coming to Netflix in October

It’s hard to believe that it’s already been a decade since Christopher Guest’s last film, For Your Consideration, hit theatres, and although he dabbled in TV with HBO’s Family Tree, here’s the good news: in just a few months Guest will return with a brand new feature film called Mascots. This is another partially improvised mockumentary starring many of his usual cohorts including Parker Posey, Bob Balaban, Jane Lynch, Jennifer Coolidge, Ed Begley Jr. and Fred Willard, but what’s different is that the movie will be debuting on Netflix following its world premiere at TIFF in September. In case you hadn’t figured it out, the plot revolves around the world of professional sports team mascots and culminates in a showdown for the annual “Gold Fluffy Award”. Netflix just released a short teaser trailer confirming a release date of October 13th, and although it doesn’t feature an actual footage from the film, it’s still more than enough to get me excited.
