There are movies where the “based on a true story” label feels like a marketing trick. Primetime is not one of them. The new A24 psychological thriller starring Robert Pattinson pulls from a very real and deeply uncomfortable chapter of American television history: the rise of To Catch a Predator, Chris Hansen, Dateline NBC, and…
There are certain movies that sound interesting because of the cast, others because of the director, and then there are movies like Primetime, where the entire idea feels slightly uncomfortable before you have even seen a frame. Robert Pattinson playing a fictionalized version of Chris Hansen, Lance Oppenheim making his narrative feature debut, A24 behind…
There are some movies that make you curious because of the cast. Others grab you because the subject matter is already uncomfortable enough to make you wonder how anyone could turn it into entertainment. Primetime somehow manages to do both.

There is something exhausting about trying to find a genuinely funny new comedy series in 2026. Streaming platforms release new shows at a ridiculous pace, and too many of them arrive with the same polished presentation, the same supposedly outrageous characters, and jokes that feel engineered for a reaction clip rather than an actual episode….
There are TV reunions that feel like a marketing exercise, and then there are reunions that make you stop scrolling for a second. Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson sharing the screen again definitely belongs in the second category. The two actors have one of those friendships and screen partnerships that already comes with its own…

Twelve years after True Detective turned the two actors into one of…
Lanterns has finally reached the point where all that patient setup has to start paying off. Episode 6, “Bad Optics,” arrives on Sunday, September 20, and frankly, I’m relieved. The decision to spend so much of the season inside the 2016 Rushville storyline has been fascinating at times, frustrating at others, and occasionally felt like…
There is a funny thing happening with Lanterns right now: the show has spent weeks convincing us that it is not really interested in being a traditional Green Lantern series, and then suddenly it remembers exactly what kind of story is hiding underneath all that dust, blood, small-town tension, and awkward conversations. Episode 5, “Lights…
Lanterns Season 1, Episode 6 is almost here, and honestly, this is the point in the season where the series can no longer afford to play things safe. After five episodes of slowly peeling back its murder mystery, HBO’s new DCU drama is heading into its final stretch with Hal Jordan and John Stewart facing…
Marvel is bringing Avengers: Endgame back to theaters in 2026, and honestly, I have mixed feelings about it. On one hand, seeing Endgame on a giant IMAX screen again sounds fantastic. This is still one of the few modern blockbusters that genuinely feels built for a packed theater, especially once the final battle begins and…
If there is one movie I never expected to need another theatrical excuse to watch, it was Avengers: Endgame. I was there for the original release, I remember the crowd losing its mind when Steve Rogers picked up Mjolnir, and I remember the almost uncomfortable silence after Tony Stark’s final snap. That night already felt…
