Happy, hungry man Phil Rosenthal is back to travel all across the sea and the land for the fifth season of “Somebody Feed Phil.” Bringing fans to five new scrumptious locations — including Oaxaca, Maine, Helsinki, Portland and Madrid — the Wednesday release on Netflix will mark the first season to not include the “Everybody Loves Raymond” creator’s father Max Rosenthal, who died in June 2021.
For the first four seasons of “Somebody Feed Phil,” Max appeared over video chat to talk with his son wherever he was in the world and to tell viewers at home a joke. Rosenthal’s mother, Helen Rosenthal, was there alongside her husband Max for the bits in Seasons 1 and 2. She died in 2019.

On Aug. 2, Sony Pictures Home Entertainment will release the clever comedy documentary movie Exporting Raymond on Blu-ray and DVD for the list prices of $35.99 and $30.99, respectively.
Phil Rosenthal brings Romano to Russia in Exporting Raymond.
Written and directed by Phil Rosenthal, the creator of TV’s Everybody Loves Raymond starring Ray Romano, the film takes a look at Rosenthal’s journey halfway around the world to assist Russia’s broadcast community adapting the smash TV series to Russian television (where it’s renamed Everybody Loves Kostya). Over the course of his trip, Rosenthal discovers that the Russians don’t share his tastes, his sense of humor or his attitude. But Rosenthal quickly discovers that the situation is what’s really funny, and that the cultural differences between American and Russia are truly the stuff of comedy (not that Raymond isn’t funny, too.).
Exporting Raymond received a well-reviewed limited theatrical release in late April.
