Eastbound & Down: The Complete Third Season - Region 1

Fortunately, Kenny convinces Stevie (Steve Little) and Maria (Elizabeth De Razzo) to help him out, while he gallivants with his boorish team buddy, Shane (SNL's Jason Sudeikis with demonic beard). Unfortunately for Kenny, fate soon takes his pal out of the picture, leaving him to deal with Shane's uptight twin brother (Sudeikis), an arrogant Russian pitcher (Ike Barinholtz), and his no-good dad, Eddie (Don Johnson). Out of desperation, he reaches out to his mother, Tammy (Lily Tomlin), but fate has more surprises in store involving returning guest star Matthew McConaughey and Seth Rogen (star of Jody Hill's Observe and Report). By the end, the marginally more mature ball player seems prepared to make another new start, but when it comes to Kenny: all bets are off. Most of the plot machinations work, though executive producer Will Ferrell's white-haired loony, Ashley Schaeffer, remains as unfunny as ever (due more to the writing than Ferrell's Colonel Sanders-on-meth performance). Extra features include deleted scenes (one with Val Kilmer) and audio commentaries on all eight episodes from the core cast and crew, including codirectors Hill and David Gordon Green. --Kathleen C.
