Bupkis (Peacock)

Pete Davidson stars in Bupkis on Peacock, but Joe Pesci is the X factor reason to watch. If you're familiar with Pete's standup comedy or Judd Apatow film The King of Staten Island, the storylines and themes of Bupkis will be a continuing exploration of similar material. But what Pete hasn't had before is Joe Pesci, who, at 80, is still intimidating, funny, charming, vulnerable - he's still a total movie star, in short. Much like Pete is spending time with Pesci as his grandfather in the show, we as the audience get a chance to spend time with Joe Pesci (whose last mainstream film role, besides the Irishman, basically was Lethal Weapon 4) in a rare late-career appearance.
