Okay, I need to talk about this because I’ve been refreshing every Ted Lasso subreddit like it’s my job. We’re eight episodes deep into a season that genuinely had no business being this good on a second attempt, and Episode 8 — the one that’s supposed to set the table for the finale — drops…
Heart of the Beast has one of those movie premises that sounds almost too simple to fail. Brad Pitt. David Ayer. A crashed plane. The frozen Alaskan wilderness. A traumatized former soldier. And a military dog that refuses to leave his side. On paper, that is a pretty hard combination to resist. But simple premises…
There’s something refreshingly unfussy about Heart of the Beast. No sprawling mythology. No army of characters. No giant conspiracy waiting around the corner. Just a damaged veteran, a retired military dog, a crashed plane, and 58 miles of freezing wilderness standing between them and survival. And honestly, that sounds far more interesting than another overstuffed…
There’s something wonderfully old-school about a movie that simply throws its characters into the wilderness and asks one question: how long can they survive? That is exactly what makes Heart of the Beast so interesting. The upcoming survival thriller puts Brad Pitt in the role of James Belmont, a former U.S. Army Special Forces soldier…
There is something immediately unsettling about Never After Dark. Not because its trailer throws a dozen ghosts at the screen or leans on the usual collection of screaming faces and slammed doors. Actually, it does almost the opposite. The movie appears to understand that a quiet hallway can be much worse than a monster jumping…
If you have been seeing Never After Dark pop up in horror circles lately and wondering where you can actually watch it, you are definitely not the only one. Dave Boyle’s Japanese-language supernatural thriller has gone from a festival curiosity to one of the most talked-about genre movies of 2026, and the timing is finally…
There are horror movies that announce themselves with a trailer full of screaming, quick cuts, and things jumping into the frame every ten seconds. Then there are films like Never After Dark, which seem far more interested in making you uncomfortable before they ever show you what you should actually be afraid of. That distinction…
There are movie controversies that feel manufactured by a studio marketing department, and then there are the ones where the person being portrayed is genuinely standing outside the whole thing saying, “Wait, that’s not what happened.” Primetime, the upcoming A24 film starring Robert Pattinson as To Catch a Predator host Chris Hansen, has landed firmly…
There are some movies where the theatrical release feels like the main event. Primetime is not quite one of them for me. The September 25, 2026 cinema release is obviously a big deal, especially after the film’s Venice premiere, but the question I keep seeing everywhere is much simpler: When can I actually watch this…
There are performances that quietly hold a movie together, and then there are performances that walk into a scene, start shouting, and completely change the temperature. Bokeem Woodbine’s Chief Cortland Gunn in Primetime belongs firmly in the second category. A24’s Primetime, directed by Lance Oppenheim, is one of those movies that seems almost designed to…
There is something deeply uncomfortable about Primetime, and honestly, that is probably what makes the movie work. A24’s 2026 psychological crime thriller does not simply bring back the world of To Catch a Predator and the internet-era legend of Chris Hansen. It drags the whole thing out from behind the meme, the famous catchphrases and…
Primetime is the kind of movie that leaves you staring at the credits for a few seconds because you’re not entirely sure what you just watched. Lance Oppenheim takes one of the strangest and ugliest chapters of reality television history and turns it into something that feels closer to a psychological horror movie than a…
