For this week’s special, let us take a look at a Netflix interact special ‘Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt: Kimmy vs the Reverend’. Based on the Netflix web series ‘Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt’ which ran for four seasons from March 6th 2015 to Januray 25th 2019, this interactive special finishes off Kimmy Schmidt’s incredible story with a bang.
The web series ‘Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt’ follows the titular character, 29-year old Kimmy Schmidt as she adjusts to her new life in New York after she and three other women were held by Reverend Richard Wayne Gary Wayne for 15 years as part of a doomsday cult. Armed with never ending patience and a positive attitude, she gains a job as “nanny” for an out-of-touch member of the upper class.
In the movie ‘Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt: Kimmy vs the Reverend’, the film follows the events of the web series, but it is not necessary to know all the details as the movie provides a quick recap of what’s important and then continues on with the story. The 2020 Netflix released movie again follows Kimmy, who has become a famous author and is now engaged to marry Prince Frederick. But when she finds out that there are more women to be saved from other “doomsday bunkers”, bunkers similar to the one she was held captive in, Kimmy has to race against time to find and save these women and attend her own wedding.
There is a lot of fourth wall breaking in this movie, especially by the character Titus Andromedon, Kimmy’s closest friend. This one of a kind comedy interactive special is a good way to unwind your day and we recommend you try out the 80 minute feature. Check out the very funny trailer for the Tina Fey and Robert Carlock written and created movie at the end of this article.
Both ‘Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt’ and ‘Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt: Kimmy vs the Reverend’ are currently streaming on Netflix.
