It's kevin27wrld back with another absolute banger of an episode, and we have a packed lineup today. Grab your drinks, get comfortable, and let's jump straight into everything popping off in pop culture and the MCU right now.Avengers: Endgame “Encore” Trailer DropsMarvel Studios just dropped the trailer for Avengers: Endgame - Encore, hyping up tickets going on sale for its theatrical re-release on September 25th. The trailer gives us all the nostalgia—the portals opening, Cap lifting Mjolnir, Tony's ultimate sacrifice—remastered for "Infinity Vision." But the big hook here? They're teasing 4 minutes of brand-new, never-before-seen footage. Marvel is officially framing this re-release as a crucial bridge linking the Infinity Saga directly to Avengers: Doomsday. You already know we're going to be dissecting every single frame on the show!Spider-Man: Brand New Day Keeps Breaking RecordsThe web-slinger simply cannot be stopped. Spider-Man: Brand New Day just crossed a historic milestone, pulling in a wild $858.4 million at the domestic box office. That officially pushes it past Avengers: Endgame ($858.3M) to make it the #1 highest-grossing MCU film of all time domestically, and the #2 highest-grossing movie in domestic history behind The Force Awakens. Spidey is carrying the box office on his back right now, and we gotta talk about what this means for the future of the MCU.Chris Hansen is Beefing with A24?!Finally, we have to touch on the weirdest Hollywood drama of the week: Chris Hansen vs. A24 over their upcoming film Primetime, which stars Robert Pattinson and dramatizes the To Catch a Predator era.The Screening Walkout: Hansen went to an early private screening, but walked out after refusing to sign a contract that he claims forced him to sign away rights to his name, likeness, and legal standing. A24 claims it was just a standard non-disclosure agreement to stop plot leaks, but Hansen wasn't having it.The Ad Hijack: Since he wasn't allowed to see how he's being portrayed, Hansen bought up pre-show ad space on screens playing Primetime to plug his own streaming network (TruBlu), reminding audiences they're watching a "fictionalized Hollywood version" of his real life work. Petty or justified? We're breaking it all down!Hit that subscribe button, leave a review, and let me know your thoughts in the comments. Let's get into it!

Hell answers to us, for we are The Who Goes There Podcast! We're back!Earlier this year A24 released this 90 minute flick about a paranormal podcaster and her impaired co-host who take a deep dive into some anonymously sent audio files.

"Tony" is a 2026 American biographical comedy-drama film co-written and directed by Matt Johnson. The plot is based on Anthony Bourdain's early years working in Provincetown, Massachusetts, stories from which were featured in his 2000 memoir "Kitchen Confidential." The film stars Dominic Sessa as Bourdain, alongside Emilia Jones, Dagmara Domińczyk, Rich Sommer, Stavros Halkias, Leo Woodall, and Antonio Banderas. The film was given a limited theatrical release in the United States on August 7th, and it has received positive reviews from critics for its writing, performances, and direction. Sessa was kind enough to spend some time talking with us about his work and experience making the film, which you can watch or listen to below. Please be sure to check out the film, which is now playing in limited release from A24 and will expand nationwide on August 21st.

This week on Bad Dads Film Review, we review Marty Supreme, Josh Safdie and Ronald Bronstein's A24 sports-hustle drama starring Timothée Chalamet as Marty Mauser, a table-tennis prodigy with Olympic-level confidence and almost no visible concern for anyone else.Only Dan and Chris have done the homework this week, leaving Sidey and Reegs to interrogate them on the plot, the tone, the ping-pong, the Gwyneth Paltrow of it all, and whether Chalamet can truly carry a film when he still looks like a haunted Victorian child who has discovered hair product.Along the way we discuss:Chris failing to return from Romania with the promised contrabandparents discovering IMAX and immediately wanting a monthly cinema clubthe Safdie brothers going their separate ways, with Josh Safdie on this and Benny Safdie off with The RockMarty working in a shoe shop but dreaming of table-tennis glorya sperm-and-egg title sequence that nobody had quite expectedMarty robbing the family business while trying to frame it as sensible career planningLondon tournaments, The Ritz and the ping-pong federationGwyneth Paltrow as Kay Stone, a famous actress in a loveless marriageEndo, the terrifying Japanese player with the modern grip and superior paddlewhether the table-tennis sequences are CGI, doubles or just very committed editingorange ping-pong balls, champagne bills and Marty's endless self-mythologisinga hotel bath falling through the ceilingMoses the gangster dogHarlem Globetrotters-style ping-pong tricksMarty getting to Japan, losing an exhibition match, refusing to kiss a pig, and demanding one more gamewhether achieving your dream means anything if you have used everyone around you to get thereThe big question: is Marty a brilliant, driven outsider, or just a selfish arsehole with a paddle?Dan finds the character so unpleasant that it limits his enjoyment, even while acknowledging the film is very well made. Chris is more taken with the craft, the period detail, the tension and the way the film keeps moving despite its hefty runtime. Reegs hears shades of The Karate Kid, White Men Can't Jump and Uncut Gems, while Sidey remains deeply suspicious of Timothée Chalamet's pixie leading-man energy.Verdicts: Chris is on a strong recommend, Dan is somewhere between mid and strong recommend, and Sidey and Reegs are officially TBC.You can now text us anonymously to leave feedback, suggest future content or simply hurl abuse at us.

Support the show by signing up to our Patreon to hear the full Weekender episode each Friday as well as special Live Shows and access to our community discord: http://patreon.com/muckrakepodcast Co-hosts Jared Yates Sexton and Nick Hauselman dig into the deeply strange story of Trump being smuggled out of Air Force One in a catering cart after Israel passed along intelligence about an Iranian missile threat in Turkey, leaving the entire press corps, Marco Rubio, and members of his own administration behind on the plane he believed was being targeted. They pull apart what that says about Trump's cowardice, Israel's ability to manipulate the administration, and the Secret Service's ongoing institutional failure. From there, they break down the Wisconsin Democratic primary, where Francesca Hong lost to David Crowley by 3,000 votes after corporate media spent weeks framing the race around Thanksgiving tweets and Hassan Piker instead of actual policy, while a $15 million centrist operation quietly bankrolls opposition research against every leftist candidate in the country. The Lakers sale to Bob Iger and Josh Kushner for $12.5 billion gets the full treatment as a case study in oligarchical consolidation under a corrupt administration, with Kushner now sitting on the board of A24 and reviving Life magazine while private equity moves into the Yankees. They close on Caroline Leavitt's resignation and the pointlessness of Ted Lasso season four.
In this spoiler-free Review Roundup episode of The Genre of Your Life, Doug reviews A24's TONY after taking time to reflect on the film.The episode explores the film's performances, story, direction, standout moments, and overall impact, while answering the biggest question: is TONY worth watching?No major spoilers—just an honest, spoiler-free review for anyone deciding whether to make the trip to the theater.
A very special edition of More or Less, featuring Josh Wolfe (Founder, Lux Capital), Rachel Holt (Founder, Construct Capital; former Head of North America at Uber), Scott Belsky (Partner, A24; Founder, Behance), Scott Stanford (Founder, Acme Capital), and Peter Deng (GP, Felicis; formerly Google, Facebook, Instagram, Uber, Airtable, and OpenAI). Sam takes over hosting duties and assembles an overqualified group of investor friends to argue about where AI goes from here, from agents, Grok, Claude, and the shift from “help me do this” to “just do it,” to trust, data ownership, Apple's AI advantage, open vs. closed models, model routing, and why proprietary data may become the real moat. They also dig into NVIDIA's massive compute financing strategy, the risks of securitizing GPUs like long-lived infrastructure, what the OpenAI executive exodus says about the AI talent market, and the bigger question hanging over all of it: if AI really changes work, who actually participates in the upside?Chapters0:00 Episode trailer1:24 Episode start1:59 Meet the panel, every flavor of venture capital5:14 Consumer AI agents cross the Rubicon7:24 The end of websites, when agents talk to agents8:32 Which AI companies do you actually trust?11:41 Why Apple could win AI by doing nothing16:40 If models commoditize, unique data becomes the moat22:15 Open vs. closed AI, and who owns your data27:06 NVIDIA's balance sheet shenanigans31:26 NVIDIA gets the upside, who gets the risk?34:31 Nobody has ever securitized compute35:02 Who owns the wealth AI creates?39:38 What happens when economic opportunity runs out?42:23 Why OpenAI's best people keep leaving47:23 Why AI may look more like GPS than Facebook49:14 What actually happened with Airtable50:30 Lightning Round: Rachel Holt on physical-world investing53:00 Scott Belsky on AI watermarks, provenance & deepfakes54:15 Josh Wolfe on socialism, Europe & defense57:15 Final thoughts & sign-offWe're also on ↓X: https://twitter.com/moreorlesspodInstagram: https://instagram.com/moreorlessSpotify: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/moreorlesspodConnect with us here:1) Sam Lessin: https://x.com/lessin2) Dave Morin: https://x.com/davemorin3) Jessica Lessin: https://x.com/Jessicalessin4) Brit Morin: https://x.com/brit
This week on Bad Dads Film Review, it is prison week — although with Riggs and Chris missing, Sidey and Dan are doing hard time as a two-man crew.Before the main feature, we look at memorable prisons and prison stories from film, TV and music. That means everything from miscarriage-of-justice anger to escape-movie comfort food, brutal borstal drama, wizard prisons, sitcom prisons and, naturally, George Clooney being offensively cool in Out of Sight.Along the way we discuss:In the Name of the Father and the fury of the Guildford Four injusticeThe Shawshank Redemption, new fish, Red, Andy Dufresne and the power of endless TV rewatchabilityThe Green Mile as another Stephen King prison classicBirdman of Alcatraz, Escape from Alcatraz and The Rockwhy Pete is missed whenever a Sean Connery impression is requiredBrubaker, with Robert Redford discovering prison corruption from the insidethe glorious stupidity of Prison Break and its tattooed escape-plan premiseScum, Midnight Express, Azkaban and The Great EscapeFolsom Prison Blues, Jailhouse Rock, I Fought the Law and John Lennon's Attica StatePorridge, HMP Slade and Fletcher trying to survive the system by wisecrackingEscape from Sobibor and the power of stories about people walking out through horrorOut of Sight, Glades Correctional Institution and the possibly illegal hotness of George ClooneyThen we review Sing Sing, directed by Greg Kwedar and starring Colman Domingo as John “Divine G” Whitfield. Inspired by the real Rehabilitation Through the Arts programme at Sing Sing Correctional Facility, the film follows a group of incarcerated men who use theatre to build community, process emotion and make something together in a place designed to strip people of freedom.The film opens with Divine G performing on stage. For a moment, it could be Broadway. Then the prison reality returns: standing to attention, routines, walls, control. That contrast becomes the film's central power. Inside the rehearsal room, the men are not reduced to their crimes or their sentences. They are actors, writers, collaborators, comedians and friends.A big part of the film's authenticity comes from the cast. Alongside professional actors like Domingo and Paul Raci, many performers are real RTA alumni and formerly incarcerated men playing versions of themselves. Sidey and Dan both pick up on how much that matters. The film feels lived-in because many of the faces on screen have lived some version of this world.The main dramatic spark comes when Clarence “Divine Eye” Maclin joins the theatre group. He is guarded, tough and suspicious of vulnerability, but he is also the person who suggests the troupe should make a comedy instead of another serious drama. That choice leads to Breakin' the Mummy's Code, a real RTA production full of time travel, ancient Egypt, Hamlet and absolute chaos.Sidey had not heard of Sing Sing before this week and might not have watched it without the nomination, but he is very glad he did. Dan is just as positive. The dads admire the film's warmth, pace and humanity, and the way it avoids becoming either a grim prison misery parade or a simplistic “art fixes everything” story.It is moving, funny, generous and grounded — a prison film about performance, friendship, grief, justice and purpose.Strong recommend from both dads.You can now text us anonymously to leave feedback, suggest future content or simply hurl abuse at us.

Welcome to Multiverse News, your source for information about all your favorite fictional universes.Marvel Studios appears to have found the leader of its new mutant team, as Deadline reported last week that Heartstopper and Warfare star Kit Connor has landed the role of Scott Summers, better known as Cyclops, in the future MCU X-Men film. Sources say Connor went through much the same process as Samara Weaving, who was attached as Emma Frost the week prior, meeting with Schreier and Marvel president Kevin Feige alongside a group of candidates who tested after the July 4th holiday before the studio settled on him. Neither Marvel nor Connor has confirmed the casting, and the film, written by Beef creator Lee Sung Jin and The Bear co-creator Joanna Calo, still has no release date. Cyclops has been played on screen before by James Marsden and Tye Sheridan, with Marsden set to reprise the role in December's Avengers: Doomsday. Sony and Marvel Studios' Spider-Man: Brand New Day crossed the one-billion-dollar mark overseas in just twelve days of release, making it the second-fastest film ever to reach that number abroad behind Avengers: Endgame. The Destin Daniel Cretton film now stands at $1.67 billion worldwide, split between $654.3 million domestically and $1.013 billion internationally, which makes it the twelfth highest-grossing movie of all time and only the sixteenth ever to clear a billion in foreign markets alone. Universal had a milestone of its own to celebrate, as Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey passed $1.1 billion worldwide to become the highest-grossing film of his career ahead of The Dark Knight Rises, while also becoming the biggest IMAX release ever with $289 million, and it still has China to open on Friday. James Gunn spent part of a Threads session last week putting down one of the most persistent rumors surrounding Matt Reeves' Batman trilogy, telling a fan who asked whether The Batman Part III was being filmed simultaneously with Part II simply, “I can deny.” The theory had gained steam over years of delays, most recently when a redesigned Part II logo appeared to work a Roman numeral III into the artwork, and it offered fans a tidy explanation for why the sequel has taken so long to arrive. In reality, Part II only began principal photography in London in June, and Warner Bros. has already pushed the film from October 2027 to February 18, 2028. Sony and Nintendo's live-action The Legend of Zelda has cast Australian actor Uli Latukefu as Ganondorf under a multi-picture deal, with Severance's Dichen Lachman playing Impa and The Handmaid's Tale's Yvonne Strahovski reported as a queen character. The late Sam Neill also filmed an undisclosed role before his death on July 13, marking one of the final screen performances of his career.Gareth Edwards has exited Universal and Amblin's untitled Jurassic World Rebirth sequel over creative differences, with the studios now searching for a replacement; David Koepp's script is finished and Scarlett Johansson, Mahershala Ali and Jonathan Bailey are all still expected back for a 2027 shoot.A24 released the full trailer for Primetime, the Lance Oppenheim drama that Robert Pattinson produces and stars in as To Catch a Predator host Chris Hansen, in theaters September 25.Lionsgate has confirmed that Michael 2 is targeting a production start toward the end of this year or in early 2027, with the sequel to this year's Michael Jackson biopic aiming for a 2028 release.Lionsgate is also developing a new Leprechaun film written by horror veterans Patrick Melton and Marcus Dunstan, reviving a franchise that ran eight movies between 1993 and 2018.Nicholas Hoult has been cast in season 2 of HBO's Harry Potter series as Gilderoy Lockhart, a major character in The Chamber of Secrets that was portrayed by Kenneth Branagh in the 2002 film adaptation.
This week, the boys got conspiratorial again! We headed to 1974 to give Alan J. Pakula's “The Parallax View” a spin. Starring Warren Beatty, this political thriller about a journalist trying to uncover the secret conspiracy behind a senator's assassination, two of the co-hosts called this movie “great”, and one called it “fucking tragic”.

As Dan and Becky are on vacation, the original cast of A24 Rocks comes back to review one of the most beloved A24 films of all time in The Green Knight. Directed by David Lowery, and starring Dev Patel, The Green Knight is about a nephew of King Arthur playing a Christmas game with a fantasy creature called The Green Knight. The Green Knight challenges someone in King Arthur's court to give him a blow, and in return, the Green Knight will give them blow back to them next Christmas. Gawain answers this challenge by chopping off his head. And as next Christmas approaches, Gawain sets off on an arduous journey to complete the Christmas game and find the courage to receive what he gave the Green Knight.

YouTubers are taking over Hollywood. The critical and commercial success of Curry Barker's Obsession, Kane Parsons' A24-backed movie Backrooms, and Markiplier's Iron Lung—especially in contrast to relative flops like Supergirl and Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu—has challenged the industry's conventional wisdom. It's not a huge surprise, given that so many creators on the platform have cultivated deeply engaged fandoms. One of the first creators to really take advantage of that dynamic on YouTube was Felicia Day, when she created her seminal web series The Guild in 2007. For the 20th anniversary next year, Day is tapping into that fandom to fund a reunion movie of The Guild. She sat down with MIC cohost Josh Christensen to discuss her decision to crowdfund The Guild movie, the importance of maintaining creative independence, and the recent mainstream success of YouTubers.

When Tari Segal, ASC, took over the Las Vegas block of Margo's Got Money Troubles, the A24 series for Apple TV adapted by David E. Kelley from Rufi Thorpe's novel, she had three days and a working casino floor on which to extend a look someone else had established. It is the episode that earned her an ASC Award nomination, and in this conversation with host Jared Levy she is candid that the shoot ran closer to triage than choreography.She walks through the problems in order. Faking a dead chandelier with PAR cans on the floor of a heavily tinted steakhouse when the circuit blew near sunrise. Building a full WrestleCon arena in a day and a half for Nicole Kidman's first day on the show. Putting Margo full frame through the then new ARRI Hero lenses so the world melts around her during the OnlyFans sequences.

Marvel Studios has found its Scott Summers. Deadline reports that Kit Connor is the pick for Cyclops in the upcoming X-Men reboot, with the decision landing last week between Marvel president Kevin Feige and director Jake Schreier.Frank breaks down why this casting works and what it signals for the next era of the MCU. Connor is in the middle of a serious run right now, coming off Netflix's Heartstopper, Alex Garland's A24 war film Warfare, and the upcoming Elden Ring adaptation. Schreier, meanwhile, is coming straight off Thunderbolts, which earns him a lot of goodwill heading into a franchise this size.The bigger story is the shape of the roster. With Samara Weaving attached to Emma Frost and Sadie Sink revealed as Jean Grey in Spider-Man: Brand New Day, the picture forming here is a noticeably younger X-Men team than longtime fans are used to seeing on screen. Frank makes the case that this is a deliberate reset, not a compromise, and that casting the field captain this young means Marvel is building a team meant to grow over many years.Quick headline drop, strong opinion, and a full discussion coming on the next Geek Freaks Podcast.0:00 Marvel Casts Its New Cyclops0:04 Why Kit Connor Is Everywhere Right Now0:16 Does He Look the Part as Scott Summers0:19 Feige and Jake Schreier Made the Call0:23 The Thunderbolts Factor0:31 A Younger X-Men Roster Comes Into Focus0:40 Your Turn on the CastingKit Connor is Marvel Studios' choice to play Scott Summers, better known as Cyclops, per a Deadline exclusive.The call was made last week by Kevin Feige and director Jake Schreier after a casting process that ran through the summer.Schreier directed Thunderbolts, and that track record is a big reason confidence is high on this project.Connor's recent run includes Heartstopper on Netflix, A24's Warfare, and the Elden Ring film adaptation.Connor slots in alongside another Netflix breakout, with Sadie Sink already revealed as Jean Grey.Samara Weaving is attached to Emma Frost, so three mutants are now spoken for.The through line across all of it is age. This is a younger team than any live-action X-Men lineup we have seen, and it points toward a long runway for the franchise.Scott Summers first appeared in 1963's The X-Men #1 from Stan Lee and Jack Kirby and has anchored the team as field leader ever since."We have our Cyclops.""Kit Connor's on fire right now.""Frankly, Kit looks like a perfect Scott Summers in my opinion.""Damn, Thunderbolts was good.""A much younger cast than maybe we're familiar with, and I think a sign for the future of the MCU.""No complaints on my side."What do you think about Kit Connor joining the team?

The Sixth Sense, Piranha, Bodies Bodies Bodies, Antropophagus, Lady Killer, and The Bat headline this episode of This Week in Horror History, covering August 3 through August 9. As summer horror reaches its hottest, strangest stretch, we're starting our early Halloween horror pregame with killer fish, emotional ghost stories, murderous housewives, hurricane-party paranoia, forbidden cult cinema, and Vincent Price lurking inside a classic old-dark-house mystery. Inside this episode: August 3, 1978 — Piranha releases in the United StatesJoe Dante turns the post-Jaws killer-animal boom into a fast, funny, and surprisingly vicious summer creature feature. Genetically altered military piranha escape into the water system, transforming lakes, rivers, vacation spots, and summer-camp swimming holes into potential feeding grounds. August 6, 1999 — The Sixth Sense releases in the United StatesM. Night Shyamalan changes the modern ghost story with the haunting tale of Cole Sear, a frightened child surrounded by dead people no one else can see. Beneath the famous twist is a deeply emotional horror movie about grief, loneliness, empathy, and the things both the living and the dead are desperate to say. August 3, 2016 — Lady Killer 2 #1 reaches comic shopsJoëlle Jones brings back Josie Schuller, a stylish midcentury homemaker, devoted mother, and highly efficient professional killer. The horror comic transforms domestic perfection into a bloodstained performance where violence is already inside the home, wearing gloves, preparing dinner, and cleaning up after itself. August 5, 2022 — Bodies Bodies Bodies releases theatrically in the United StatesA24 traps a group of wealthy, deeply dysfunctional friends inside a mansion during a hurricane. When a party game becomes a possible murder investigation, slasher tension collides with social-media anxiety, buried resentment, toxic friendships, accusations, and spectacularly bad decisions.Deep-Cut Spotlight — AntropophagusJoe D'Amato's notorious Italian cult-horror film sends unsuspecting visitors to a beautiful but eerily abandoned Greek island where paradise has become a sun-bleached trap. Also known as Anthropophagus and The Grim Reaper, the movie earned a reputation as one of those forbidden video-store horrors whispered about by genre fans because its most extreme moments supposedly had to be seen to be believed. It is grimy, excessive, mean-spirited, and inseparable from the dangerous mystique created by its alternate titles, shocking cover art, and cult-cinema notoriety. Horror Birthdays This Week: John Landis, M. Night Shyamalan, Vera Farmiga, and Tobin Bell enter the birthday roll, bringing connections to An American Werewolf in London, The Sixth Sense, The Conjuring, Bates Motel, Orphan, Saw, and some of modern horror's most recognizable filmmakers, paranormal investigators, and moralizing masterminds. Weekly Recommendation — The BatVincent Price enters an old-dark-house mystery filled with locked rooms, hidden money, suspicious residents, secret passageways, clawed gloves, and a masked killer known only as the Bat. Released in 1959, The Bat delivers classic black-and-white comfort horror with thunderstorms, creaking hallways, shadowy intruders, and the cozy feeling that someone could appear at the far end of the corridor at any moment. It is the perfect late-summer watch for horror fans already pregaming for Halloween and preparing for the arrival of spooky season.From Piranha and The Sixth Sense to Lady Killer, Bodies Bodies Bodies, Antropophagus, and The Bat, this week in horror history proves that terror can swim beneath summer water, stand silently in the corner of a child's room, hide behind domestic perfection, explode during a hurricane party, or wait inside a darkened house.The calendar may still say August, but the Halloween horror pregame starts now.

Matt Johnson directed the films BlackBerry and the DIY comedy Nirvanna the Band the Show the Movie—now he's taking on Anthony Bourdain. His new film Tony, out in August from A24, skips the traditional biopic format entirely, compressing three formative Provincetown summers described in Kitchen Confidential into one transformative season for a 19-year-old, pre-fame Bourdain. Johnson joins us to talk about adapting a book everyone already loves, directing Dominic Sessa away from doing an impression, and his love for the Canadian rock band Sloan. And before that, Matt shares some recent restaurant visits, including stops at Thai Diner, Keens, and Goosefeather. Check out Matt on the podcast Put It In My Mouth. Learn more about your ad choices.

Philip Granger returns to the #YVRScreenScenePodcast to discuss Backrooms, the feature-length horror film that enjoyed the biggest global opening weekend in A24's history. Based on Internet lore, Backrooms takes place beyond a hidden doorway discovered in the basement wall of a failing furniture store, in an endless, unsettling dimension populated by office corridors, warped furniture, and echoes of reality. The film is a phenomenal depiction of liminal space, and conveys the thrill and the horror of places in transition. And the fact that the film is set during an especially liminal year – 1989, when the analog world would soon be replaced by a rapidly globalized digital one – and that we in the audience exist at yet another liminal threshold (post-pandemic and hurtling towards a world where AI will exercise even more sway over our lives) makes Backrooms even more thrilling and horrifying. Phil appears in a memorable role as the Meterman, a grounded character who, in Phil's honest and compassionate hands, has garnered fans and inspired artwork around the world. In this fascinating and far-reaching conversation, Phil discusses his journey to and through Backrooms, including working with the exceptionally talented 20-year-old director Kane Parsons. Phil – who is head of the acting faculty at New Image College –also contemplates the changes sweeping the film and television industry, and offers some advice for actors who want to get unstuck. Also: honesty in acting; the importance of enduring friendships; the kids are actually alright; the unexpected lessons of the pandemic.YVR Screen Scene is a division of Fish Flight Entertainment.
Kane Parsons, the 21-year-old director of this summer's hit horror film “Backrooms,” began his career not in film school, but by making short videos on YouTube while attending middle and high school in the North Bay. He stumbled upon an online photo of creepy, yellow-tinted empty rooms being called “the backrooms,” read the accompanying internet lore and contributed to it with his own web series, which garnered him an A24 directing gig at just 17. Now, Parsons' San Jose-set feature film has been credited with revitalizing Hollywood and with capturing existential, generational fears. We'll talk with Parsons about why Silicon Valley is such a rich site for horror, and with film professors about how horror films have long documented the key anxieties of every generation.

Something is shifting in independent film right now, and Ron Cohen, one of the producers on June July and a veteran of physical production, is exactly the person to make sense of it. Chris and Daniel bring him in for a wide-ranging conversation that touches on everything from The Odyssey's marketing to the A24 backlash of the moment, but the real news is that the team just wrapped a shoot on June July, and Ron walks through how it actually went. The conversation moves into the details of that shoot, where fully ray traced and relightable Gaussian splats, an unplanned split diopter, and a crew that improvised through a rough second day produced a shot nobody storyboarded. Ron also weighs in on private equity's growing role in indie film financing, the five to ten million dollar sweet spot for creative freedom, and what the Warner Bros/Paramount consolidation could open up for smaller studios willing to bet on story over stars.
