“Ball don’t lie. People do.” Peacock has unveiled the first official trailer for a scripted fake doc comedy series called Mr. Throwback, from the creators of “Happy Endings”, with episodes directed by filmmaker David Wain. It’s ready to stream on Peacock starting this August in just a few weeks. This sports mockumentary follows a down-on-his-luck memorabilia dealer who looks for redemption by reuniting with his sixth-grade teammate, NBA legend Steph Curry. Now bumbling and washed-out, “Danny’s the kind of guy whose B-ball career failed to launch the way Curry’s did, despite the reverence Curry still holds for his legendary throwback skills: ‘Bro, he was the king!'” The comedy series stars Adam Pally, as Danny, Stephen Curry, Ego Nwodim, Adyen Mayeri as Samantha, Tracy Letts, Layla Scalisi, Tien Tran, & Rich Sommer. Curry comments: “I’m looking forward to viewers getting to see me play a version of myself no one has ever seen before, and hope they feel connected to the characters…” This does look like it might be really funny, a clever new buddy mockumentary inspired by classics like Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story. Worth a look.
