I haven’t enjoyed an audiobook experience as much as I did this one in quite some time. Irreverent, entertaining, and at times surprisingly endearing, the sisters wrote an excellent story. The almost five hours of listening flew by, and Heads Will Roll was over long before I wanted it to be over. It became a lot of fun to anticipate when I would hear another famous voice and what that character would be like. I initially worried that I wouldn’t recognize any voices, but that is not the case. We follow Queen Mortuana and her raven assistant JoJo as they attempt to stop a peasant uprising, and, in true comedic fashion, shenanigans ensue. Lynne, the story is hilariously crass and, in general, very charming. As for the Fab 5, they become part of one of the best scenes of the entire audiobook. Meryl Streep sounded like she had way too much fun, as did Audra McDonald and Carol Kane. As the queen’s assistant, Tim Gunn is a spectacular casting choice, and he does an AMAZING job. McKinnon and her sister are the stars, but the cast is just as impressive. Heads Will Roll made me laugh out loud, something you tend not to want to do when at work. I am so glad I downloaded it and even happier that I finally listened to it.
#HEADS WILL ROLL KATE MCKINNON FULL VERSION#
According to Entertainment Tonight, a 15-second version of the commercial will air during this week’s episode of SNL (May 4, hosted by Adam Sandler), and the full version will air during the Emma Thompson episode on May 11. Kate McKinnon on Her Audible Fantasy-Comedy Series Heads Will Roll. Kate McKinnon and Emily Lynne appear in a new commercial for ‘ Heads Will Roll ‘, their new Audible series.
So, when Heads Will Roll popped up as another “free” offering from Audible to its subscribers, I knew it was something I wanted in my library. Kate McKinnon Berthold (born January 6, 1984) is an American actress, comedian, and writer. The way she becomes her character and is never afraid to go big reminds me so much of the original cast, when Dan Aykroyd blended a whole fish and John Belushi had a little too much fun with a prop samurai sword.
Kate McKinnon is by far my favorite SNL cast member, past or present.
