I actually remember seeing a preview of this almost a year ago and forgot about it. I think it might have been delayed

Not to be confused with Fat Mama, the season 1 winner of Stan Lee's superhero reality tv show (after that, I didn't really bother with season 2 although the heroes looked more like actual comic characters)

It's a bit sad that Melissa McCarthy gets roped into these same roles over and over again, I saw her in "Can You Ever Forgive Me?" and she was damn good.

So either they won't offer her any roles but these or she just has a horrible agent.

I kinda suspect she gets a kick out of them. Clearly she can pick and choose her own projects now. And keep in mind she's with Octavia Spencer there. Octavia is reasonably critically acclaimed, so she doesn't need to be there either... although she also does a lot of weird movies for money.

Melissa McCarthy

And there goes many a shred of decent humor or writing. How unfortunate for everyone involved.

Why does she keep getting jobs? I have seen a few movies she's in and I just don't get the appeal, is it just because "lol fat people doing wacky things"?

I suspect there's an odd case of, "Don't fat-shame! Also, here's a totally unfunny fat person for you to laugh at. Laugh at her, because no shame!"

Like, dude, she's made being fat part of her thing and isn't at all funny with or without any fat jokes she, herself, plays a part of. The non fat jokes are subpar as well. Heck, one of the handful of reasons the Ghostbusters reboot failed is because of how much her brand was forced into the whole picture, but we can't criticize how bad she is because that would somehow be fat shaming, when it's not. It's shaming her brand of "comedy."

The thing is she's had funny roles over the years. It's kind of like Nic Cage where he'll have some good movies, then involve himself in a lot of stuff that makes you wonder how he still has a career.

EDIT: Eh... after looking over her filmography, the only thing I see where I can say "Well, she was pretty good in that" was Gilmore Girls, although I realize I haven't seen maybe 3/4s of the things she's been in.

Technically everybody with a NF account should care either way, because this took money away from other projects on the service. The only people who ought to be indifferent are those who don't have a NF account and don't like any of the cast.

yeah I piggyback off family Netflix and probably watch something once a year. usually not something produced by Netflix either...although a few were of course. Years back, Master of None. A few comedy specials. I'm not invested, and if I was, I would shrug at the things outside my interest. It's a big service. Although I'd say that the overall quality of Netflix programming is...mediocre. I'm not a fan of dramas, and there's lots of that. I'm bad. I just pirate what I'm interested in. I only really watched the Mandalorian and Eric Andre Season 5 in the past year (pirated).

She got an Oscar nomination for "Can You Ever Forgive Me?" and "Bridesmaids" also got her some massive credit for being very good in it. So she is a talented actress she just falls into the same roles over and over again, kind of what Chris Farley was known for before he died.

Yeah, but even when he was doing terrible movies, he was still funny in them.

She's gonna get canceled from her own tv show? Plus I'm pretty sure Roseanne Barr is this generation's Roseanne Barr.
