HBO’s “Eastbound & Down” made waves when it introduced one of television’s most quotable antiheroes: washed-up former major league pitcher Kenny Powers (Danny McBride). After a long hiatus — the six-episode Season 1 aired in the winter of 2009 — Season 2 will finally arrive September 26th with Kenny playing for a Mexican pro team, the Charros. Bootlicking sidekick Steve will follow him south of the border, where he’ll also befriend a foul-mouthed midget named Aaron.

We can safely say that the season is worthy of the original and is its own different, more somber beast. This is how Eastbound’s co-creator/director Jody Hill described his aspirations during our set visit  in Puerto Rico: “Tonally, I want the season to feel like a cross between Amores Perros and Bad News Bears. The comedy will be similar enough hopefully that it doesn’t throw people, but there are darker elements. And we are shooting on 35mm, so the production design, all the locations, it’s going to have a bigger feel. I think we did a good job at making last season feel like a movie, and more so with this one.”

Amores Perros and Bad News Bears, huh? So I guess Jackie Earle Haley gets attacked by dogs? I like it. Anyway, I’d rather not prattle on about being excited for this “Eastbound” to return, so I’ll leave you with ten minutes of the best of Kenny Powers. That is why I’m better than everyone in the world.
