‘Westworld’ parody sees Billy Crystal and Daniel Stern reunion
HBO’s “Westworld” has reunited “City Slickers” Billy Crystal (Mitch) and Daniel Stern (Phil). It is a funny and quite realistic caricature for “Funny or Die.”
The comedy hosts have followed closely the story of the television series. But for the parody, they have once worn the shoes of their characters from the 1991 feature comedy. They had to be reset by the staff of “Westworld.”
The “Westworld” parody was made more exciting with cameos from the series’ cast members. Luke Hemsworth (Stubbs) and Ptolemy Slocum (Sylvester) were both part of the clip.
In true “Westworld” fashion, Stubbs and Sylvester were curious about the programming of robot Mitch. Mitch replied with a question, asking if the glass-walled robot hospital is the Kevorkian Ear, Nose and Throat Clinic. The comedian has also referred to Stubbs as “Other Hemsworth Brother.”
When Mitch was asked about what happened to the park, he said nothing much had occurred. It was like any other day, same old thing and just living the life. Before their conversation has ended, Hemsworth has made him slap himself.
Hemsworth and Slocum are not the only “Westworld” cast present in the parody. Angela Sarafyan (Clementine) has also participated.
Hemsworth has recently teased fans about what to expect in the second season of the series, saying the world will get bigger. For him, the samurai world is really attractive and that he actually loves the idea.
During the Dubai International Film Festival, he shared that he finds great joy in discovering Westworld. He said that in the park, he does not have it in him to rape or cut off the robots’ heads.
Fans are sure to enjoy another season of “Westworld” after HBO Programming president Casey Bloys has announced that the show has been green lighted for another season. However, the show will not return this year, but in 2018.
Despite the wait, viewers of “Westworld” have high hopes that it will be worth the time. Showrunner Jonathan Nolan has revealed that the upcoming season will show more about how the hosts work. In an interview, Nolan said that the next season will focus on the hosts’ source of power. “Their construction and their power source is something we’re really going to get into during season 2,” he told Entertainment Weekly.
Official air date for “Westworld” season 2 is yet to be announced. Foxtel has aired “Westworld” season 1 in Australia.
