Along the way, they hand out awards for everything from the best A24 film to the creepiest movie children, the best beard in a movie, and even the best Pedro Pascal performance. The night concludes with the debut of a brand-new award: the BIFF (Best Idiotic Feature Film), proving once again that the Enjoy Stuff awards are far less serious, and far more fun, than anything happening in Hollywood.

"Undertone" is a Canadian horror film written and directed by Ian Tuason, in his directorial debut. The film stars Nina Kiri as Evy, a woman who hosts a paranormal podcast with her friend Justin (Adam DiMarco), where she is the skeptic to his believer. After Evy moves back home to become the caregiver to her dying mother (Michèle Duquet), she and Justin are sent recordings by a married couple (Keana Lyn Bastidas and Jeff Yung) experiencing paranormal noises in their home, drawing Evy into fear and paranoia. Evy and her mother are the only characters to be shown on-screen in the film. All other characters are heard as off-screen voices, thus conveying the film's horror through its sound design. The film had its world premiere at Fantasia Fest on July 27th, 2025, and later screened in the Midnight section of the 2026 Sundance Film Festival, where it received positive reviews from critics, with praise for Tuason's directing, atmosphere, and Kiri's performance. Tuason was kind enough to spend some time speaking with us about his work on the film, which you can listen to below. Please be sure to check out the film, which is now playing in theaters from A24.

Canadian writer and director Ian Tuason's debut feature film is Undertone. The horror movie follows a podcaster who gets sent a series of disturbing audio files that invite paranormal activity into her own life. Ian Tuason joins Q guest host Garvia Bailey to talk about the real life events that inspired the film, shooting the film on a microbudget in his family home and the multi-studio bidding war the film sparked before landing at A24.
In this episode, we're diving deep into the two ends of the entertainment spectrum: the "I need to sleep with the lights on" horror and the "I can't believe they're back" nostalgia.First up, we break down the newly released A24 thriller Undertone (2026). Is sound design the new jump scare? We discuss Nina Kiri's haunting performance as a podcaster who hears something she shouldn't, and why this movie might make you rethink your own audio setup.Then, we shift gears to the trailer that has everyone talking: Malcolm in the Middle: Life is Still Unfair. It's been 20 years, and while Malcolm thought he escaped the madness, Hal and Lois's 40th anniversary party proves that you can never truly outrun your genes. We talk about the new Dewey, Bryan Cranston's return as the ultimate dad, and why the "unfair" life still feels so right.
In this episode, we dive into a packed slate of movie news. Paramount Pictures wins bid over Netflix to acquire Warner Bros., a move that could reshape the studio landscape. We also explore Lee Isaac Chung's departure from the Ocean's 11 prequel starring Margot Robbie and Bradley Cooper, and what that means for the project. Sony Pictures signals a reboot of its Spider-Man Universe, while Evil Dead Wrath begins filming and hints at a busy horror season ahead. We share first reactions to The Bride! and Project Hail Mary, with the latter being called a sci-fi masterpiece. Plus, Mike Flanagan's The Exorcist adds more names to its cast. We'll also break down the trailers for Mortal Kombat II and Scary Movie 6, and wrap up with Scream 7's box office numbers and box office predictions for The Bride! and A24's Undertone.

This week we're joined by writer/director Ian Tuason, whose new A24 horror film Undertone is creeping into theaters March 13. The film plays with a deceptively simple question: what if the scariest thing in a movie isn't what you see… but what you hear later? We talk with Ian about building tension through sound, the eerie psychology of playback and EVP recordings, and why something as innocent as a children's song can suddenly feel sinister when it's heard through fresh ears. He also tells us about filming the movie in his own childhood home, the challenge of creating tension with minimal visuals, and the trust it takes to let actors experiment when they're carrying so much of the film. Plus, we get into what excites him about stepping into the world of Paranormal Activity next. And of course, Ian builds his Spook'em Scare'em Starter Kit. Headphones recommended... COME HANG OUT!!!

En septembre 1998, à Palo Alto, une famille est retrouvée morte. Le dossier est classé meurtre-suicide. Pendant des années, l'affaire reste locale, puis elle réapparaît dans l'espace public après la diffusion d'une série documentaire, The Tetris Murders, en 2022.Très vite, Internet simplifie l'histoire et transforme l'affaire Vladimir Pokhilko en rumeur virale liée à Tetris, sur fond de Russie, de guerre froide technologique et de crime organisé. Dans cet épisode, on reprend les faits tels qu'ils sont documentés en 1998, on remet les rôles au bon endroit, et on montre comment une confusion de vocabulaire peut faire dévier un dossier entier.On va plus loin sur les zones grises et les hypothèses les plus répétées, puis on fait une étape de vérification empirique : on a mené l'enquête avec Google Trends pour situer précisément quand la rumeur explose, à quelles dates, et comment l'intérêt public se déclenche après la médiatisation de 2022.On clarifie aussi le point central : le créateur de Tetris est Alexey Pajitnov, et la distorsion vient en grande partie d'un glissement autour du mot “créateur”.After show inclus, “Petites anomalies de la guerre froide numérique” : on revient sur FAREWELL / Line X, où une source interne expose la filière du KGB dédiée au vol de technologies occidentales, puis sur GUNMAN, l'opération qui met au jour des implants dans des machines à écrire IBM Selectric à l'ambassade américaine à Moscou. On termine avec une enquête déclenchée par un écart de 75 cents, qui mène à un cas documenté d'intrusions informatiques et d'espionnage lié au KGB.Voyez le film Undertone de A24, dans une salle québécoise dès le 13 mars 2026!nordvpn.com/distorsion : Rabais exclusif sur ton abonnement + plus 4 mois gratuits!ÉrosEt Compagnie : 15% de rabais avec le code DistorsionPatreon | Site Web | Boutique Hébergé par Acast.

In this episode, GG Hawkins speaks with editor Harrison Atkins about shaping A24's How to Make a Killing with director John Patton Ford. Atkins breaks down his path into editing, his holistic “total filmmaker” approach to storytelling, and the editorial challenges of balancing dark comedy, violence, voiceover, and audience empathy around a morally compromised protagonist. The conversation also explores the realities of studio post-production, from long edit timelines and test screenings to cutting in Adobe Premiere's Productions workflow while collaborating with a London-based post team more accustomed to Avid. In this episode, No Film School's GG Hawkins and guest Harrison Atkins discuss... How Harrison Atkins found his way into editing through directing and making his own films Why he thinks of editing as a holistic, dramaturgical part of filmmaking rather than a purely technical role Reuniting with director John Patton Ford after Emily the Criminal What drew him to the multi-tonal mix of crime, satire, dark comedy, and violence in How to Make a Killing How voiceover created both opportunity and endless editorial possibilities in the cut The difference between an indie sprint like Emily the Criminal and the extended timeline of a studio feature How test screenings and audience response helped refine comedy, pacing, and emotional momentum Why the first reel was crucial to getting audiences aligned with a charismatic but morally gray lead The editorial challenge of shaping an underdog around Glenn Powell's natural confidence and charm How Premiere's Productions workflow supported a collaborative feature edit with multiple people working simultaneously What it was like cutting the film in London with assistant editors adapting from an Avid-heavy post environment How temporary VFX comps in After Effects and Photoshop helped solve story and joke-building problems inside the edit Harrison's philosophy of leadership, collaboration, intuition, and staying present as both an editor and director His advice to emerging filmmakers: fail boldly, work small if necessary, and keep making things instead of waiting for permission Memorable Quotes: “I never really considered myself an editor. I still kind of weirdly don't.” (01:19) “The calendar is really a myth.” (06:59) “The difference between a joke that lands and one that doesn't is often microscopic.” (13:30) “Perfection is the enemy of good.” (33:50) Guests: Harrison Atkins Resources: How to Make a Killing Emily the Criminal Total Filmmaker by Jerry Lewis Find No Film School everywhere: On the Web: No Film School Facebook: No Film School on Facebook Twitter: No Film School on Twitter YouTube: No Film School on YouTube Instagram: No Film School on Instagram

Y eso mismo es lo que hace, pero en el cine de terror, el cineasta Ari Aster con Hereditary. La popularidad de Galder Varas ha crecido especialmente gracias a las redes sociales, donde muchos de los fragmentos de sus espectáculos se han vuelto virales. En plataformas como Instagram, TikTok o YouTube, miles de personas comparten y comentan sus intervenciones con el público, lo que ha ampliado enormemente su audiencia. Y demuestra ser conocedor de este título de la productora A24 que comenta en este programa junto a Dani Palacios y Juanma González.
Besonders bei Sundance war die Midnight-Sektion für uns während vergangener Festival-Besuche immer eine verlässliche Goldgrube. Nicht so 2026, denn dieses Jahr erlebte Daniel ausgerechnet in dieser Kategorie zwei seiner größten Enttäuschungen des Programms. Die blutige Kindersendungs-Parodie Buddy ist zwar immerhin noch kurzweilig erträglich, der Podcast-Horrorfilm Undertone von A24 hingegen langweilt auf allen Ebenen. Außerdem hat auch die Berlinale 2026 mit Nightborn (Yön Lapsi) und Sleep No More (Monster Pabrik Rambut) zwei nicht so begeisternde Genre-Beiträge zu diesem Filmmenü-Podcast der Festival-Horror-Flops beigesteuert.Kapitel dieses Filmmenüs:(00:00:00) Intro-Musik(00:00:14) Anmoderation des Filmmenüs(00:02:51) Yön Lapsi / Nightborn (Berlinale)(00:10:35) Monster Pabrik Rambut / Sleep No More (Berlinale)(00:19:32) Überleitung von Berlinale zu Sundance(00:20:46) Undertone (Sundance)(00:32:21) Buddy (Sundance)(00:40:12) Outro - Besucht uns auf https://www.DieLetzte.website!

Welcome to Multiverse News, Your source for Information about all your favorite fictional universesNetflix has walked away from its bid to buy Warner Brothers, refusing to raise an initial offer after a counter offer from Paramount Skydance at $31 dollars a share, its largest push to buy the studio to this point. This move sets up Paramount as the favorite to acquire Netflix with no real competitor left in the field. The Ellison family has made an extended political push, as well as a financial push to raise the offer enough to secure the chance to purchase the studio and all the intellectual property included. Netflix is also expected to walk away with a $2.8 billion dollar termination fee, paid by Paramount. On an investor call on Monday, David Ellison confirmed that eventually, HBOMax and Paramount+ will merge into one streaming platform.‘Twas two weeks before the Oscars and during awards season, Sinners took a surprise award home and we don't care for what reason! The awards show formerly known as the SAG Awards, now called the Actor Awards, livestreamed on Netflix this past Sunday, hosted by Kristen Bell. The biggest surprise of the night was Michael B. Jordan winning the lead actor award for his roles in Sinners, which Viola Davis announced in a way that went viral. In other horror film news, Amy Madigan took home her second award this season for best supporting actress in Weapons.Scream 7 blew past all expectations at the weekend box office, where it opened to a franchise-best $64.1 million domestically and $33.1 million overseas for a global start of $97.2 million, the best opening weekend in the franchise's history. It's a quiet time otherwise at the movies, as we look to May for the beginning of a hot summer season, with Sony Picture's GOAT pulling ahead of Wuthering Heights, both of which are in their third weekends.Amazon has unveiled a first look at the live-action “God of War” TV series, with production on the show now underway in Vancouver. The image offers fans their first glimpse of Ryan Hurst as Kratos, the titular god of war, and Callum Vinson as his young son, Atreus. On Saturday, David Jaffe, the creator of the “God of War” video games, took to his YouTube channel to criticize the first look, calling it a “dumb fucking image," and saying "could you find a picture that doesn't look like he's shitting in the woods? Cause that's what the picture looks like.”Paramount has tapped screenwriter Max Landis to pen the script for an upcoming GI Joe feature, sources tell the Hollywood Reporter. At the same time, the studio has also hired The Righteous Gemstones star and creator Danny McBride to work on a separate script for GI Joe, although it is unclear if these are two separate projects or not. Notably, Landis' career imploded in 2019 during the Me Too Movement after an expose in the Daily Beast in which several women accused him of sexual and emotional abuse.A24 has released the first trailer for Kane Parsons' upcoming horror film The Backrooms, starring Chiwetel Ejiofor. The film, which is a directorial debut for Parsons, is based on his viral YouTube horror series that has amassed more than 190 million views.The first trailer has been released for the Wayans brothers' upcoming Scary Movie 6, which releases in theaters on June 12th. The trailer has begun appropriately playing in front of Scream 7.Warner Brothers is officially developing a Game of Thrones movie with Andor writer and House of Cards showrunner Beau Willimon attached to write the script. The movie is believed to be about Aegon I Targaryen's conquest of Westeros, which would serve as a prequel to the mainline HBO series.

Is it a "sophomore slump" for director John Patton Ford, or a modern dark-comedy masterpiece? This week we're breaking down the new A24 thriller How To Make A Killing. We dive into Glen Powell's performance as the disowned heir Becket Redfellow and debate if his quest to "prune the family tree" is a stroke of genius or just a messy execution. Grab a glass as we discuss the star-studded supporting cast (Ed Harris! Margaret Qualley! Zach Woods!) and decide if this "eat the rich" satire leaves a good aftertaste or if it's just a cheap shot.
Glenn Powell (Top Gun Maverick, Twisters, Anyone But You) plays Beckett Redfellow, the apparent eventual heir of a multi-billion dollar fortune from the Long Island-based Redfellow clan.....only he's the eighth in line after his late mother was pushed out of the family right before he was born. So inspired by the sudden reappearance of Julia (Margaret Qualley) a seductive socialist he has had a crush on since childhood, he decides to embark on a unique mission to move up closer to that inheritance by murdering everyone else in the Redfellow clan one-by-one. The Redfellow family members who are his targets are played by Ed Harris, Zach Woods, Bill Camp, and Topher Grace among others. Directed by John Patton Ford (Emily the Criminal), let's find out exactly HOW Beckett lives up to the title of this film.

The A24 film Marty Supreme brings the world of table tennis into the cultural spotlight, it also quietly parallels a powerful real-life story behind the sport. Appearing in two scenes in the film is Yasiris Ortiz, a professional table tennis champion and Bronx-based community leader whose journey from international competition to grassroots youth empowerment mirrors the film's central themes of discipline, belief, and dreaming beyond circumstance. Ortiz's appearance in Marty Supreme is not a performance in the traditional sense; she is not portraying a fictional character, but rather bringing authenticity to the screen as a real athlete whose life has been shaped by the sport. For Ortiz, table tennis has never been just a game; it has been a tool for transformation, one she now uses to create opportunity for young people across New York City. Born and raised in Bayaguana, Dominican Republic, Ortiz discovered table tennis at a young age and quickly fell in love with the sport after competing in her first tournament. That passion carried her beyond her hometown and onto the international stage, representing the Dominican Republic as a member of the national table tennis team at the cadet, junior, and senior levels. Through competition, she traveled the world and learned firsthand how sport can open doors far beyond what once seemed possible. In 2016, Ortiz moved to New York City with her family, facing the challenges of adapting to a new country, learning English, continuing her education, and rebuilding her athletic life from the ground up. Unsure whether she would be able to continue competing, she spent countless hours riding the subway across the city in search of table tennis clubs where she could practice and stay connected to the sport that had shaped her identity. What began as persistence soon became purpose. That purpose crystallized when Ortiz began teaching table tennis at an elementary school in the South Bronx. There, she witnessed something transformative: students arrived to class excited, engaged, and eager to learn. Through table tennis, they developed focus, confidence, discipline, and joy—qualities that carried into the classroom and beyond. As interest grew, neighboring schools began reaching out, and what started as a single program evolved into Spin & Learn, an education and wellness organization founded in 2020 that integrates table tennis with academics, physical fitness, and social-emotional learning (SEL). Since its launch, Spin & Learn has partnered with more than 45 public schools across New York City, serving thousands of K–12 students through in-school enrichment, after-school programming, wellness days, assemblies, and author visits connected to Ortiz's children's book, “Yasi the Champion.” The organization has become known for meeting students where they are, using movement and play to build lifelong skills, confidence, and a sense of belonging. It delivers high-quality programming at scale through its strategic partnerships with leaders in the global table tennis industry, including Paddle Palace, the leading equipment supplier in North America, and Stiga Sports as Ortiz's official partner. Now, as Marty Supreme brings renewed visibility to the sport, Ortiz is marking a new chapter with the official launch of the Spin & Learn Foundation, a newly established 501(c)(3) nonprofit created to expand access to table tennis, wellness, and enrichment programs beyond the school setting and into the broader community. The Spin & Learn Foundation was created because families kept asking for a place where their children could continue training after leaving their school programs. Ortiz saw how quickly access could disappear once students moved on, even though the interest and talent were still there. The Foundation is about creating continuity, making sure young people and families have a place to grow, train, and belong. While Spin & Learn operates primarily within schools, the Foundation is focused on long-term, community-based impact. Its mission is to provide programs for economically disadvantaged individuals across diverse communities, ensuring access to enrichment opportunities through table tennis that promote physical and mental wellness, build personal resilience, and develop leadership skills for lifelong success. Through future partnerships with community centers and shared spaces, the Foundation aims to serve not only youth, but also families, adults, and seniors who may not otherwise have access to structured recreational and wellness programming. Ortiz sees a meaningful connection between the themes of Marty Supreme and the work she has spent years building, noting that she relates deeply to the film because she came to this country without a clear path, driven only by a dream. Everything she has built since then, including a table tennis program that has reached thousands of students, started with believing in that dream. As table tennis reaches new audiences through film and popular culture, Ortiz believes the moment carries responsibility as well as opportunity. She emphasizes that representation matters, but representation paired with access is what creates real change. Seeing the sport on screen is powerful, but what matters most is what happens off screen—in schools, in communities, and in spaces where young people need support and mentorship. With the launch of Spin & Learn Foundation, Ortiz is working to ensure that the attention surrounding Marty Supreme translates into something lasting: expanded opportunity, deeper community engagement, and a growing network of spaces where sport, education, and wellness intersect. From the big screen to the Bronx, Yasiris Ortiz's story continues to unfold, not as fiction, but as a living example of how belief, discipline, and access can change lives. To learn more, visit Spin & Learn online at https://spinandlearn.com/, call 718-690-1673, or email info@spinandlearn.com. Spin & Learn is an educational and wellness organization that combines table tennis, physical fitness training, academics, and social-emotional learning to create fun, active, and meaningful learning experiences for students, primarily serving K–12 students across New York City in partnership with public schools and community organizations. - Looking for that extra spark to level up your life?

"How To Make A Killing" is a black comedy thriller film written and directed by John Patton Ford. Following his Sundance directorial debut feature film "Emily The Criminal," Ford gathered the talents of Glen Powell, Margaret Qualley, Jessica Henwick, Bill Camp, Zach Woods, Topher Grace, and Ed Harris to bring his loosely inspired contemporary version of the 1949 British film "Kind Hearts and Coronets" to the big screen. It wasn't always the easiest process (when is making a movie ever easy?), and Ford was kind enough to spend some time speaking with us about his experience and work on the film, which you can listen to below. Please be sure to check out the film, which is now playing in theaters from A24. Thank you, and enjoy! Check out more on NextBestPicture.com Please subscribe on...

This is my second conversation with Josh Kushner, founder and managing partner of Thrive Capital. I recorded this conversation in October after publishing the Colossus cover story about him and Thrive. Given the overwhelming response, we created some breathing room before releasing it. Josh started Thrive in 2011. The firm now manages approximately $50 billion with a very small investment team. What makes Thrive different is how concentrated they are and how involved they get with their portfolio companies. We cover the iconic investments that defined Thrive: Instagram, Stripe, GitHub, and spend a lot of time on OpenAI. Josh explains how Thrive thinks about investing today and the three categories they're currently focused on. Josh also talks about building the firm, why they keep the team small, and what he's learned from A24 about enabling artists to do their best work. He shares personal stories that shaped him, including his grandmother's experience surviving the Holocaust, and lessons from Stan Druckenmiller, Jon Winkelried, and others at formative moments in Thrive's history. Please enjoy my great conversation with Josh Kushner.
