Launching on 28 September, Attack of the Hollywood Clichés! is a Netflix comedy special hosted by former Rat Pack member, movie star, and handsome devil, Rob Lowe.

Attack of the Hollywood Clichés! is a one-off special featuring some of the most famous films in cinematic history along with a plethora of Hollywood A-Listers, Screenwriters, Academics and Critics as they guide us through the funny, weird and controversial clichés which appear on our cinema screens.

Lowe invites viewers to examine the Hollywood clichés filmmakers can’t help but use, time and time again. With the help of the experts, Attack of the Hollywood Clichés! analyses the origins and evolutions of everything from ‘Walking Away from an Explosion’, to the ‘Meet-Cute’, and ‘Females Running in Stilettos’ – there’s also a ‘Wilhelm Scream’ montage for real movie buffs.

It is produced and directed by Sean Doherty, with Alice Mathias and Ricky Kelehar also serving as directors.
