UNCLE NICK is the story of a family Christmas gone wrong.
Lewd, drunken Uncle Nick (Brian Posehn from Mr. Show and The Sarah Silverman Program) stumbles his way through his brother’s cookie cutter-family’s annual Christmas gathering in the hopes of scoring with a super-hot party guest. But the arrival of his equally crass sister coupled with Nick’s liquor-fueled faux pas cause family secrets to bubble to the surface that might spell disaster for the whole clan before the night is over. Interwoven with the tale of the 1974 Ten Cent Beer Night riot that overtook a Cleveland Indians baseball game, both stories chronicle an evening of alcohol, anger, and heartbreak.
Executive Produced by Errol Morris and directed by former Attack of the Show writer Chris Kasick.
Starring: Meg Ryan, Billy Crystal, Carrie Fisher, Bruno Kirby

Strange Days features a (former) future Los Angeles two days before the turn of the millennium. Former policeman Lenny Nero (Ralph Fiennes) has moved into a more lucrative trade: the illegal sale of virtual reality-like recordings that allow users to experience the emotions and past experiences of others. While the bootlegs typically contain tawdry incidents, Nero is shocked when he receives one showing a murder. He enlists a friend, bodyguard Mace (Angela Bassett), to help find the killer — and the two soon stumble upon a vast conspiracy involving the police force Nero once worked for.
