EASTBOUND & DOWN The Complete First Season  

HIT HBO SERIES “EASTBOUND AND DOWN” DEBUTS IT’S FIRST SEASON DVD FOR $39.95RRP FROM 28 JULY 2010

This 2-Disc DVD set includes all six episodes from the first season of the new HBO® hit comedy series, plus uproariously funny bonus materials including: making Eastbound & Down, audio commentaries, deleted scenes, bloopers and more!

Meet Kenny Powers, a washed-up former Major League pitcher with an insufferable ego and a mullet to boot. Hilarious and profane, Eastbound &Down stars Danny McBride (Tropic Thunder, Pineapple Express) as Powers, whose boorish behaviour and fading fastball have led to a spectacular career flame-out.

Down, but hardly humbled, former Major League pitcher Kenny Powers returns to his hometown of Shelby County, North Carolina, to teach Phys Ed at the middle school he once attended. Still a loose cannon and non-stop offender, he wreaks havoc everywhere he goes and even makes a pre-emptive romantic strike on his former high school squeeze, now a teacher engaged to the school principal. Psyching himself up for his comeback with motivational tapes he recorded in his former life, Powers proves to be an over-the-top, sometimes unlovable, but always entertaining character.

Eastbound & Down also stars Katy Mixon (Four Christmases) as April Buchanon, Powers’former flame and current object of desire, who teaches at the school; John Hawkes (Me and You and Everyone We Know, Deadwood®) as Powers’ brother Dustin, a family man who is forced to take Kenny into his home to help get him back on his feet; Jennifer Irwin (Still Standing) as Dustin’s patient wife Cassie; Andrew Daly (Semi-Pro) as Terrence Cutler, the school principal; Steve Little (The Ugly Truth) as Powers devotee Stevie Janowski, the school’s band teacher; Ben Best (Superbad) as bar proprietor Clegg, a druggie pal from the old days and actor/comedian Will Ferrell guest stars as a local car dealership owner.

 Eastbound &Down is executive produced by Will Ferrell and Adam McKay (Step Brothers, Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby) and Chris Henchy (Entourage®), who are also co-founders of FunnyorDie.com, as well as Jody Hill (The Foot Fist Way), Danny McBride and Ben Best. Hill, McKay and David Gordon Green (Pineapple Express) are the directors.
