One of HBO Max’s Funniest, Most Unhinged Shows of 2026 Has One Colossal Problem
Make That Movie, a six-part mockumentary comedy created by Australian comedian Sam Campbell with Paddy Young, has been praised as one of 2026’s funniest television shows. Its main drawback is limited availability: despite strong reviews and an absurdist style likened to Tim Robinson and Nathan Fielder, it is not currently available to stream in the United States.
The series follows a fictionalised Campbell, a former successful director who helps ordinary people turn unlikely film ideas into features with an eccentric production team. One episode involves a heist film where a couple can transform into snakes, requiring CGI, non-professional actors and live snakes; the show has reached number five on Australian streaming charts, but is only released on Channel 4 in the UK and HBO Max in Australia.
- Acclaimed comedy Make That Movie has a very limited international release.
- It follows Sam Campbell making bizarre films from everyday people’s ideas.
- The series is unavailable to US viewers.
