Lucy and Desi

The article does not mention the documentary film Lucy and Desi that Poehler directed. The film was released by Amazon in March 2022. The film is already on her filmography page. I think the section to add it here is the "Director" section, but I'll leave the to others to decide. 134.41.100.67 (talk) 22:55, 16 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I kinda thought there might be some Poehler super-fans out there who would have come along quickly and added the film to the article, but I guess I was wrong. So I just took a shot at adding it myself. The RT citation is a bare link and the release date information, while uncontroversial, probably could use a properly formatted citation. I leave those fixes for someone who is a lot better at the technical stuff than I am. Other edits to improve what I added are very welcome. I just wanted to get some mention of the film on the page, as it should be included (and the film itself does not have it's own Wikipedia page). 134.41.100.67 (talk) 19:33, 21 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Unless it's released on Blu-Ray or someone invents a record of phone calls (YouTube?), odds are noone will ever see it again. --2001:9E8:6F08:6C00:F448:8B20:46EA:A6E (talk) 19:07, 26 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Producer: Zero Motivation

Under her producer section, it states: "In June 2016, BBC America announced it is developing a scripted series called Zero Motivation. The project is being executive produced by Brooke Posch and Poehler." However, researching this further, I cannot find any articles or updates on Zero Motivation. Thus, how should we rewrite this section? Should we write that there have been no updates on this film? How do we write this statement if there is nothing to cite (due to the lack of references)?
