Good news if you're a fan of The Lonely Island - your weekend viewing is sorted.
The comedy trio dropped a surprise visual album yesterday, announcing it just hours before it landed on Netflix.
It's called 'The Lonely Island Presents: The Unauthorized Bash Brothers Experience' and is described by them as a 'visual poem'. It's more or less a compilation of rap videos set in 1988; 'The Bash Brothers' is a reference to 1980s baseball players Mark McGwire and Jose Canseco, who earned the nickname for how they celebrated home runs. By all accounts, the pair were the childhood heroes of Andy Samberg and co.
If you liked the brilliant 'Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping', it looks like this comedy equivalent to Beyonce's 'Lemonade' might be right up your street.
Even Canseco himself was on board:
@thelonelyisland just watched The Unauthorized Bash Brothers video! I can't stop laughing. Loved it. If you want to do a follow up video contact my Manager Morgan: 7023743735

The reaction from other high profile quarters was equally enthused:
