WATCH: Tina Fey & Amy Poehler Save Broad City's Abbi and Ilana from Their Wicked Ways
This foursome needs a show together now.
Here at SheWired we’ve started using the hashtag #SistersBeforeStarWars for this upcoming weekend, but who are we kidding? We’re going to see both. Still, the Amy Poehler and Tina Fey comedy Sisters, in which they play adult sisters who throw the ultimate party at their child hood home before their parents sell it, has a pretty masterful publicity department. First, they released a hilarious promo encouraging moviegoers to see Sisters over Star Wars. Now they’ve enlisted the help of Broad City’s stars Ilana Glazer and Abbi Jacobson for this Comedy Central video Sisters Helping Sisters, in which Amy and Tina play nuns who save Abbi and Ilana from their wild, drugging ways.
Amy and Tina save Abbi and Ilana from a life of petty crime, while also teaching Ilana just what those rosary beads are not intended for. If that’s not enough, this foursome of feminists also sneaks in a few digs about Hollywood’s lack of roles for women. ‘I don’t think people what to see that many women talking at once,” Tina wryly says while kneeling and clutching her beads.
This definitely makes us think there needs to be an Amy, Tina, Abbi, Ilana movie or sitcom in the near future.
