It looks like 1989’s classic dark comedy, The ‘Burbs, starring, among others, Tom Hanks, Carrie Fisher and Bruce Dern, is the latest nostalgia property to be stripped bare for all modern audiences to see.
Set in present-day suburbia, The ‘Burbs follows a young couple returning to the husband’s childhood home. Their world is upended when new neighbors move in next door, bringing old secrets of the cul-de-sac to light, and new deadly threats shatter the illusion of their quiet little neighborhood.
Keke Palmer stars in Peacock’s The ‘Burbs, a fresh new spin on Joe Dante’s mystery-comedy classic from 1989.
Look, I love Keke Palmer but seriously, what is this?! Will I be watch? Yes. Do I expect it to be good? God, no.
The ‘Burbs is streaming February 8 on Peacock.

Marc is a self-confessed nerd. Ever since seeing Star Wars for the first time around 1979 he’s been an unapologetic fan of the Wars and still believes, with Clone Wars and now Underworld, we are yet to see the best Star Wars. He’s a dad of two who now doesn’t have the time (or money) to collect the amount of toys, comics, movies and books he once did, much to the relief of his long-suffering wife. In the real world he’s a graphic designer. He started Following the Nerd because he was tired of searching a million sites every day for all the best news that he loves and decided to create one place where you can go to get the whole lot. Secretly he longs to be sitting in the cockpit of his YT-1300 Corellian Transport ship with his co-pilot Chewie, roaming the universe, waiting for his next big adventure, but feels just at home watching cartoons with his kids….
