Once news broke that A24 and Peacock would collaborate on a Friday the 13th prequel series, titled Crystal Lake, I was instantly excited. This isn’t the first project within Sean S. Cunningham and executive producer Victor Miller‘s franchise in recent years. Currently named “Jason Universe,” the franchise got a taste of Sweet Revenge in August of last year. The 13-minute short
Read MoreYou Can See Everything shows Nathan Fielder asking Elizabeth Holmes one simple question: “Are you being real right now?” It’s a question that drove the marketing to popularity, as the scene shows Holmes radiating big puppy eyes, innocently tilting her head, and responding, “I’m always being real.” Without context, it looks like Fielder is in psychological warfare with one of the
Read MorePrimetime is the type of film that could easily have been a disaster. It’s a very difficult task to put the audience against someone who is catching child predators. Especially since Chris Hansen has done work beyond the network juggernaut To Catch a Predator to help reduce child trafficking at home and abroad. However, since the documentary Predators, there has been
Read MoreAt Fantastic Fest 2026, the amazing people at Alamo Drafthouse on South Lamar have curated a lineup full of titles with great potential. We’re anticipating so many films that it was difficult to fit everything that deserves to be on my list.

The film adapts Cesc Gay’s The People Upstairs for an American audience, which was also remade in Italy, Switzerland, France, and South Korea. Wilde, along with screenwriters Will McCormack and Rashida Jones, elevates the original film’s
Read MoreThe Death of Robin Hood is a difficult pill to swallow. For most of us, the idea of Robin Hood evokes spectacle and adventure. He is the archery equivalent of King Arthur, supplying action, adventure, and a sense of nobleism. With a filmmaker like Michael Sarnoski, the director of Pig, one of the most sincere films about empathy, one might expect
Read MoreBackrooms is about to have a massive opening weekend. The YouTube short by Kane Parsons has a successful following. One might say his take on the creepypasta has the same demo as the Five Nights at Freddy’s crowd. There’s no other way to say it. I’m not sure how audiences will receive this film. For a movie popular with today’s youth,
