#American dad roger sings driver#
How does he find out? A random UPS driver (Bill Hader) who happened to find his mother’s headless body answers her phone when Beau calls.
Then, after a hilariously surreal sequence in which Beau desperately attempts to purchase a bottle of water from across the street (to take with his new anti-anxiety meds), our hero learns that his mother has died in a freak accident after a chandelier fell on her head. When his mom (Patti LuPone) finds out he’s not coming, she responds in a cold, passive-aggressive manner that hints at their dysfunctional relationship. Beau is supposed to fly to see his mom on the anniversary of his father’s death, but his keys get stolen and he can’t leave. Aster’s three-hour magnum opus, a psychiatric session masquerading as a quirky A24 comedy-drama, follows Beau, a middle-age nobody living in a bleak one-bedroom apartment on a city street comically ravaged by crime. To try and understand what actually happens at the end of Beau Is Afraid, one must first look back at the rest of the movie. Even the finale, which has Joaquin Phoenix’s Beau Wassermann facing a surreal tribunal, doesn’t really tell us what’s been going on. But Aster refuses to directly explain the events in the film. Namely: Is writer-director Ari Aster okay? And what’s going on in the film’s crazy ending? The picture is structured as an existential mystery, always on the verge of delivering some big revelation that will clarify the insanity we’ve been watching. Regardless of whether you think it’s a masterpiece or a career-ending crime against cinema, Beau Is Afraid will leave you with a lot of questions. Spoilers ahead for the plot and ending of Beau Is Afraid. We are recirculating it now that Beau Is Afraid is available on digital. Watch The Weeknd's American Dad cameo below.This piece was originally published in April. His cinematic music videos for his most recent album, After Hours, also serve as strong proof that if his whole music career ever goes left (however unlikely), well, acting would be a great back-up. Previously, he cameoed in the Safdie Brothers' hit Uncut Gems, and starred in a few skits for Saturday Night Live. To really enjoy the show in its entirety you have to really know the characters."Ībel, a cartoon nerd - who knew? In the same interview, he revealed that he also had the opportunity to do some voice work for Adult Swim's Robot Chicken, and that his ultimate dream is to work on The Simpsons.Īmerican Dad is The Weeknd's latest addition to what is turning out to be a very diverse resume.
It’s been running for so long, and I feel like it has a real cult following. "I’ve been watching since high school but I really appreciated it about seven years ago. It turns out Abel wanted it that way, explaining in a Variety interview that he "always wanted to play a character that was the opposite of the public’s perception of me - and of course make fun of myself." Though The Weeknd more or less played himself on the show, there were clearly marked differences between his American Dad character and who he is in real life - as in we're pretty positive he isn't a virgin. The highlight of the show, however, was The Weeknd's obligatory musical moment during which his character grew wings and sang a song called "I'm A Virgin" that, honestly.is a bop.
Fittingly titled "A Starboy Is Born," the episode revolved around main character Stan abducting The Weeknd to teach Roger a lesson, and was even co-written by Abel himself. The Weeknd, a self-proclaimed longtime American Dad fan, made his (voice) acting debut on the hit animated show on Monday, playing a pretty substantial role and sharing a brand new song.
