John Goodman goes full The Dude in new Righteous Gemstones teaser

Credit to the marketing minds at HBO: They know exactly what we want when we flip on a teaser trailer for a new (and now final) season of The Righteous Gemstones, i.e., a quick update on whatever scummy Biblical con job Uncle Baby Billy is getting himself up to this year. The mind that brought you "singing hologram of his dead sister" and "Baby Billy's Bible Bonkers" (canceled pending literal plague of locusts) has a hell of a new pitch for the show's final season: TeenJus, a TV series showing the life of, well, the Teen Jesus. And no, he's not looking for punch-up on that portmanteau.



(Meanwhile, if this is not Danny McBride, Jody Hill, and their team taking the piss out of The Chosen and its recent franchise pivots, we would be extremely shocked.)

Of course, man does not live on indignantly spray-tanned Walton Goggins alone, and so we also get quick check-ins with the rest of the Gemstone clan, who seem to be thriving at the moment. And if, after a minute or so of watching the teaser, you start wondering where series star John Goodman is in all this, rest assured that the teaser has answers: Eli Gemstone's apparently taken a page out of the book of an old friend and decided to get extremely retired, hanging out in a bathrobe, smoking cigars and drinking, and all around living that boat life. All that, and his kids are still just as deranged and petty as ever, arguing about Tom Hanks movies, bringing massive firepower to war re-enactments, and, of course, informing their significant others that watching their exercise routine makes them "slick." (God, we are going to miss Judy Gemstone when this series finally wraps up, which it'll start doing come March 9, when this final season premieres.)
