You knew he'd be back as soon as that cauldron lit up! Join us for a special three-part Winter Olympics-themed encore of our comedy series "Aidy Kane (Really Wants You to Love Him)," a fun digital romp, principally shot in Las Vegas in early 2020, the digital show follows everyone's favorite washed-up Olympian, former "Bad Boy of American Skiing" Aidy Kane (Brandon Tyler Jones), who really, REALLY, wants you to love him again.

In the first episode of the limited series, a teaser for the planned AIDY KANE feature, meet Aidy, who can't truly be understood without understanding his rivalry with handsome French superstar skier Laurent LaTour (Andrew Rogers), who may just also be Aidy's best friend...ish.

(Love it and want more? Episode 2 will encore next week, with Episode 3 released the night of the closing ceremony, with bonus scenes and behind-the-scenes features.)

In this special Winter Olympics-themed encore presentation, meet Adrian "Aidy Kane" Kanieki, washed-up Olympic champ and former "Bad Boy of American…

We're so excited! The fact BZ/MP's Benjamin Bryant is a hardcore Olympics nut is well established, but this year we're all as excited as he is! This Olympic cycle will bring the return of everyone's favorite hot mess, former bad-boy Olympian Aidy Kane, one of BZ/MP's first (and favorite) fictional creations.

We know a lot of you were disappointed when we debuted the first three episodes of "Aidy Kane (Really Wants You to Love Him)" as part of the return of our pre-pandemic New Year's Eve tradition. We did it, as one viewer put it, "1980s style" (as in "you better get in here and watch it while it's on or you'll have to wait for the reruns!"), but we had a couple of very good reasons...

"Aidy Kane (Really Wants You to Love Him") is about a washed-up former Winter Olympian, so there was synergy just RIGHT THERE. Between that and the huge blizzard/power and internet outage at the start of the year that kept our East Coast operation from being able to do any of our planned promotion and rollout for the show, we decided a relaunch in February, at the same time as the Games, must have been fate!

So, each weekend during the Olympics, starting this weekend, we'll be re-releasing an episode, with social media promotion, and the whole nine-yards. And for those who joined us for the debut stream of these episodes last year, we'll be adding some bonus behind-the-scenes/expanded material to make visiting Aidy's dysfunctional world even more fun the second time!

As you guys might remember, the project began life as a planned feature, put on hold in March 2020 "for a few weeks to let this virus thing play out," and, well...that didn't quite work out as intended (for ANY of us). But we're nothing if not resilient (not unlike our hero) and decided to reworked the existing footage into a teaser series at the end of last year (We were definitely in a "let's finish some more stuff!" mood after finishing Station to Station - 2021 Film). It was a great way to celebrate and feature the hard work of all involved...and lay the groundwork for that long-delayed feature version!

The first episode encores this weekend, following the Opening Ceremony, of course, coupled with a re-released BTS blooper reel from our talented cast and crew! Each Olympic weekend will bring a new release (episode encore and new BTS/enhanced material)!

More praise for the BZ-produced , directed by Benjamin Bryant .

“The film does so much right. The writing and dialogue are smart, sharp, and fun....Mr. Bryant (who may invite positive comparisons to early Paul Thomas Anderson and Richard Linklater) unfolds this story carefully and deliberately...with optimally positioned reveals throughout.”

Thank you, .
