New ‘Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt’ trailer reveals release date, Beyoncé parody

By Keith Nelson Jr. Updated June 15, 2022

Netflix just gave us a taste of “Peeno Noir” and Lemonade. The release date for the upcoming third season of the Netflix show Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt has been revealed in a new trailer featuring one of the shows most popular characters channeling his inner Beyoncé.

The new season will be streaming in full on May 19, nearly a year and a half after the series was renewed for a third season. The trailer revealed more than simply when we will be reintroduced to Kimmy Schmidt’s fantastical world, but also a bit of what will be reintroduced. In the trailer, the vociferous character Titus Andromedon (played by Tituss Burgess) is seen copying music video scenes from Beyoncé’s Grammy Award-winning album Lemonade.

music videos, Titus repurposes the lyrics of the former to suit his own love story as he joyfully smashes car windows like Beyoncé in Hold Up while singing,”Uh, uh, I’m not fooling with you, Michael,” referring to his Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt love interest Mikey Politano.

The video included in the trailer seems to be pulled from season 3 footage instead of specially made for the trailer. If it proves popular, it would not be the first time Titus’ golden vocals gave the Netflix series a viral hit. The 63-second Peeno Noir music video from the first season has amassed nearly 2.5 million viewers since it set the internet ablaze two weeks after the season debuted in March 2015.

The popular show will return amid a month full of Netflix originals. Netflix’s new series Anne will debut on May 12, and its tent-pole series House of Cards will return for a fifth season May 30. Netflix will also bring back sci-fi thriller Sense 8 for a second season and release its original documentary The Mars Generation on May 5. The latter focuses on teenagers at the U.S. Space & Rocket Center training to one day help people to get Mars.

When May 19 arrives, it will be time to binge in formation.

Howard the Duck in "Howard the Duck."

The science-fiction genre has a vast smorgasbord of cheesy films stretching way back to the early days of cinema. Such pictures are known for their weird stories, unrealistic dialogue, low-budget productions, and exaggerated acting.

While many of these films have been panned by critics and audiences alike, some of them have garnered success for being "so bad, they're good." Whether or not they have been held up by a dedicated fan base, these seven movies stand out as the cream of the cheesy sci-fi crop.

10 best Batman stories ever, ranked

Batman Year One cover

Bounding from rooftop to rooftop, the Dark Knight never misses his mark. He operates like a well-oiled machine tracking bad guys, beating them to a bloody pulp, and throwing them in the slammer - or Arkham Asylum should they be anyone of Gotham's notable supervillains. As the brainchild of Bob Kane and Bill Finger, an artist and writer duo, Batman has been pounding the pavement of Gotham ever since his debut in Detective Comics in 1939. He's undergone a number of changes since his original conception ultimately becoming the brooding powerhouse we know today.

Most understand the basic tenants of Batman these days. His parents were murdered before his young eyes leading him down this path of personal vindication and pursuit of justice. Batman, in most iterations, never resorts to killing -- the one crime that separates his outlaw vigilante operations from the real criminals. Of course, it wasn't always that way. In Batman's earliest days, he had no qualms about ending the lives of baddies on the streets. Even now, some stories and films like Tim Burton's gothic take on the character depict him looking on with cold and uncaring glares as criminals meet their end. Regardless, Batman is mostly a well-established hero simply seeking justice and there are countless stories of the Caped Crusader. Let's take a look at the best among them.
