Some of you readers might recall our sharing the Official Trailer for the Netflix comedy “Unfrosted” and if you didn’t see that post its easily rectified by clicking HERE. The film marks the directorial debut of Jerry Seinfeld and has an all-star comedic cast. The premise surrounds a battle for breakfast domination between Kellogg’s and Post and this film is available to stream as of early this morning if you are a subscriber to the Netflix service. The poster is down below and I’ve once again added the premise and massive casting for refresher sake.

Piercing Ken Thoughts: In the trailer post I had pointed out that I thought this looked to be a good time and a film that might bring some really necessary laughs for a truly trying time in our world and I stand by that. I will be watching this one but right now I am up to 50% on my DVR and I’d like to knock that down a little bit before indulging in something else. What about you out there in the readership? Will you be watching this film or will you be taking a pass? Are you still subscribing to Netflix? Chime in down below in the comments section and I will see you next time.
