Showtime has slipped out the original pilot episode of Fliplathropy, the TV series within the show The Curse that is streaming now on Showtime / Paramount+. This is hilarious! This A24 / Showtime series is a crazy brilliant satire called The Curse, a strange “genre-bending” creation straight from the mad genius minds of Nathan Fielder and filmmaker Benny Safdie (one half of the Safdie Brothers). Here’s the intro to Fliplathropy: Whitney and Asher Siegel are a newlywed couple struggling to bring their vision for eco-conscious housing to the small community of Española, New Mexico. But their efforts are complicated when an eccentrically flawed reality TV producer, Dougie, sees an opportunity in their story. As the series unfolds, the couple find themselves caught in a mysterious web of ethical and moral gray zones – all while trying to keep their relationship afloat. Starring Emma Stone, Nathan Fielder, Benny Safdie. I’ve already been watching The Curse and it’s so awkward and uncomfortable and ingenious in its mockery of the reality TV culture. This is just a fun way for the series to gain extra attention & get people curious. It’s worth a watch.
Here’s the full pilot episode of HGTV’s “Fliplathropy” (from The Curse series), direct from YouTube:
