He’s baaack! Tommy Wiseau, star of cult classic The Room, is back in a brand new online series from Studio 8.
The Tommy Wi-Show, distributed on the Machinima Network, follows Wiseau as “he is repeatedly abducted by different races of mysterious aliens and transported to distant planets, where he is forced to test popular video games. Each weekly episode has Wiseau playing a different game and delving deeper and deeper into strange, unknown areas of the universe.” Yeah, you read that right. It’s going to be awesome.
