Oh, Hi! is a new film that's supposed to be a rom-com? A thriller? A dark comedy? Something else? Ashley, Matt and Rachel aren't exactly sure what it's trying to be, but we definitely have opinions about it.

Acclaimed actor and director Molly Gordon reveals the sordid details of her summers at theater camp and talks about directing the new comedy, “Oh, Hi!,” which is in theaters now.

This episode of the No Film School Podcast features GG Hawkins in conversation with writer-director Sophie Brooks, whose new film Oh, Hi! hits theaters nationwide on July 25, 2025. The film, starring Molly Gordon and Logan Lerman, explores the chaotic, vulnerable, and often hilariously painful world of romantic relationships. Sophie shares her journey of getting from her debut feature The Boy Downstairs to Oh, Hi!, a second feature that took nearly a decade to realize. They discuss the struggles of indie filmmaking, casting chemistry, writing complex characters, and what it truly means to create art that reflects personal truths. In this episode, No Film School's GG Hawkins and guest Sophie Brooks discuss... Why it took nine years to make a second feature How writing with an actor in mind (Molly Gordon) shaped the character of Iris The challenges and unexpected benefits of filming during/post-COVID How Sophie and her DP crafted a romantic, evolving visual style Writing unlikable yet deeply relatable characters Securing financing when nothing seems to go right The mental toll and unexpected joys of the post-production process Memorable Quotes: "I try really hard as a filmmaker. I try really hard with my friends...but I just want something. Is that so bad?" "You can feel so confident...but it's scary when you haven't done a part of the job in a long time." "There's a big difference between compromising and settling." "I didn't believe the movie was happening until I was on set."

"Oh, Hi!" had its world premiere at the 2025 Sundance Film Festival, where it received positive reviews for its story about a situationship by filmmaker Sophie Brooks, involving a new couple (Molly Gordon and Logan Lerman) who go on a weekend road trip that takes an unexpected turn. Both Gordon & Lerman were kind enough to spend some time speaking with us about their work and experiences making the film, which you can listen to below. Please be sure to check out the film, which will open in theaters on July 25th from Sony Pictures Classics. Thank you, and enjoy! Check out more on NextBestPicture.com Please subscribe on...

If you frequent Collider Ladies Night, you're well aware that I'm a big proponent of filmmaking families — frequent collaborators who stick together and also add new additions to the family every step of the way. Mike Flanagan's “Flanafamily” is a big one, and it's a topic that keeps popping up with Molly Gordon, who's recently found great success collaborating with close friends on films like Theater Camp and Oh, Hi. Yet another top-tier filmmaking family? The one James Gunn started and continues to thrive with, and that family has a member you're going to be seeing a whole of in the coming weeks, months and years. It's Mikaela Hoover.In celebration of the release of Superman, in which Hoover plays Daily Planet gossip columnist Cat Grant, she took the time to swing by the Collider Ladies Night studio and recap her journey to joining three of the biggest franchises of all time - DC, Marvel and, most recently, One Piece. It's a list of accomplishments that certainly can be traced back to Hoover's natural talent, but as we often discuss on Ladies Night, in film and television, finding someone who sees you and what you're capable of can be essential. Hoover found that in Gunn. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

[Editor's Note: The following contains spoilers for Thunderbolts*.]One of the very best parts of having a returning guest on Collider Ladies Night? Realizing how much they've accomplished during such a short period of time. Geraldine Viswanathan made her first Ladies Night appearance in 2020 for The Broken Hearts Gallery and since has completed a four-season run on Miracle Workers, starred opposite Zach Galifianakis, Elizabeth Banks and Sarah Snook in The Beanie Bubble, headlined Drive-Away Dolls with Margaret Qualley, made Oh, Hi! with Molly Gordon which secured distribution out of Sundance 2025, and now she's part of one of the biggest film franchises of all time, the Marvel Cinematic Universe.Viswanathan makes her first MCU appearance as Mel in Thunderbolts*. She's Valentina Allegra de Fontaine's (Julia Louis-Dreyfus) extremely attentive and diligent assistant. Initially, she seems quite loyal too, but when Bucky (Sebastian Stan) suggests Mel secretly slip him information on Val in hopes of having her impeached, eventually, Mel concedes. While that choice may suggest Mel's willingness to double-cross her boss, ultimately, she changes course again, pushing the button that saves Val's life from the Sentry (Lewis Pullman).So where does Mel stand? Does she skew more villain than hero? Does she still admire Valentina? That's exactly what I dug into with Viswanathan during her second Collider Ladies Night interview. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

On this episode of Paid in Puke, we're partying with Emma Seligman's (Bottoms) 2021 anxiety-ridden comedy, Shiva Baby, starring Rachel Sennott, Molly Gordon, Dianna Agron, and Polly Draper. It tells the story of Danielle, a young art student who has an identity crisis at a Shiva, when she is forced to interact with her parents, her ex, her sugar daddy, and his beautiful wife, plus everyone who has known her since she was a baby. This movie is an poignant as it is hilarious. We talk about awkward interactions with relatives, sugaring, top quality food-acting, and the difficulties of being an impending college graduate.

Molly Gordon makes everything better. She was a stand-out among stand-outs in films like “Good Boys,” “Booksmart,” and “Shiva Baby.” Then she showed her talents on the other side of the camera, co-writing/directing the hilarious indie hit “Theater Camp.” Now she plays Claire on the beloved series “The Bear,” which is about to drop its third season. On this episode she talks about why she loves improv, how her parents unintentionally formed her comedy sensibilities, getting “buzzed” from in-person auditions, “locking in” with Jeremy Allen White, why she's always aspiring to a child-like lack of self consciousness, and much more. Back To One is the in-depth, no-nonsense, actors-on-acting podcast from  Filmmaker Magazine. In each episode, host Peter Rinaldi invites one working actor to do a deep dive into their unique process, psychology, and approach to the craft.  Follow Back To One on Instagram (Photo by Elias Tahan)

This mockumentary comedy flew under the radar when it was released last year. But our Yosra's excited to make a song and dance about Molly Gordon and Nick Lieberman's big-hearted tale of a musical theatre camp, struggling to save itself after its beloved founder falls into a coma. It's well charted that we love a mockumentary, but will there be enough gags for Hannah? Or too much singing for Mick? You know what to do. Learn more about your ad choices.

This week, we revisit one of our favorite episodes of 2023! The panel begins by examining Barbie, Greta Gerwig's hot pink, record-breaking movie about the iconic Mattel doll. Then, the trio dives into Christopher Nolan's Oppenheimer, which chronicles the life of the “Father of the Atomic Bomb,” and explores whether the film achieves its aims. Finally, they are joined by Slate's Chris Molanphy to discuss the controversy behind country singer Jason Aldean's latest song, “Try That In A Small Town.” In the exclusive Slate Plus segment, the panel is once again joined by Chris Molanphy to discuss all things Summer Strut. With the annual show just weeks away, the four pull back the curtain to detail their processes, weird observations, and more. Email us at culturefest@slate.com. Endorsements: Dana: In line with her theme of the week, “Yay movies and go, go, go to the theater,” Dana highly recommends Theater Camp, a delightful film by Ben Platt and Molly Gordon. Julia: Yotam Ottolenghi's recipe for zucchini pasta with crispy capers and pistachios isn't the sort of thing Julia would normally endorse (for one, it's extremely laborious and you will need to fry individual basil leaves), but it's vegan, a showstopper, and completely worth it. Stephen: In honor of the late singer, Stephen recommends two Tony Bennett albums: “The Tony Bennett/Bill Evans Album” (1975) and “Tony Bennett at Carnegie Hall” (1962). Outro music: “Last Sunday” by OTE. Podcast production by Cameron Drews. Production assistance by Kat Hong. If you enjoy this show, please consider signing up for Slate Plus.

Severe weather is expected to hit many of Americans this weekend, impacting holiday season plans for many people. Also, Craig Melvin sits down with Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott to talk about life off the field ahead of a big matchup against the Eagles this weekend. Plus, Ben Platt and Molly Gordon join live to discuss their new film “Theater Camp.” And, actor Gael Garcia Bernal is in studio 1a to catch up and talk about his new movie “Cassandro.” 

Kyle, Joe and Rick reviewed the 2023 indie film Theater Camp starring Ben Platt, Emily Gordon, Noah Galvin, Jimmy Tatro and Ayo Edebiri. The film was directed by Molly Gordon and Nick Lieberman in both their feature debuts. We ranked the 6 songs of the soundtrack, as well as picking our favorite lines, characters, performers and scenes. Enjoy!

Dena and Catalina start off this week chatting about a Yom Kippur song (@broadwaywiz) by Ben Platt and Molly Gordon. Then, they take a deep dive into a certain podcast host's incident in Central Park. Catalina shares a reflection by @celebritymemoirbookclub on her algorithm and Dena discusses Jersey Shore drama via @alexisebawden and of course they have to bring up Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce.

They close with @a_twink_and_a_redhead's impressions of how people wake up to different alarms.   Check out all the videos we mention and more on our blog (2old4tiktok.com), Instagram (@2old4tiktokpod), and TikTok (@2old4tiktok_podcast).  

Chris and Taylor review the comedy film, Theater Camp, directed by Molly Gordon and Nick Lieberman in both of their feature directorial debuts, from a screenplay by Gordon, Lieberman, Ben Platt and Noah Galvin. A feature-length adaptation of the 2020 short film of the same name, the film features an ensemble cast that includes Molly Gordon, Ben Platt, Noah Galvin, Jimmy Tatro, Patti Harrison, Nathan Lee Graham, Ayo Edebiri, Owen Thiele, Caroline Aaron and Amy Sedaris. In the film, the eccentric staff members of an upstate New York theatre camp must band together when their beloved founder falls into a coma.Follow us on:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thepotentialpodcast/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thepotentialpodcastTwitter: https://twitter.com/thepotentialpodSupport us on Patreon:patreon.com/thepotentialpodcastThanks to our sponsors: Nuero:Our listeners will get a 20% discount on any gum or mints by going to  tryneurogum.com/potential  ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

A “private creator” no more. After spending a good deal of time developing ideas and keeping them to herself, Molly Gordon makes her feature film writing, directing, and producing debut on Theater Camp, an achievement that will hopefully pave the way to continued work behind the lens with original ideas.Gordon shares her writing and producing credit on the film with longtime friends and collaborators Ben Platt, Noah Galvin, and Nick Lieberman, and also co-directs alongside Lieberman. Inspired by their short film of the same name, the feature version of Theater Camp focuses on a group of teachers deeply dedicated to their work at AdirondACTS, a theater camp in upstate New York. Right in the midst of some financial trouble, the camp's founder (Amy Sedaris) falls into a coma and her “clueless tech-bro” son, Jimmy Tatro's Troy, is put in charge. The camp's only hope is for the teachers to help Troy understand what they love so much about camp and theater in general, but while evolving AdirondACTS traditions to encourage even more to share that passion.In celebration of Theater Camp's theatrical release, Gordon joined me for a Collider Ladies Night interview to retrace her steps from her earliest inspirations to hitting the point where she's confident in being unapologetically herself when tackling a project.[NOTE: This interview was recorded on July 11, 2023.] Hosted on Acast.

There are a number of artists having big years right now but, dare I say, Ayo Edebiri is having one of the best of the bunch. Not only did she just score her first Emmy nomination for her work in Season 1 of The Bear, but she's also exceptional in the recently released second season of the hit series and has three stellar films coming out back to back to back — Theater Camp, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem, and Bottoms.Hopefully you've seen Molly Gordon's episode of Collider Ladies Night and Noah Galvin's episode of Collider Forces in honor of the release of Theater Camp, but just in case you need a refresher, the Searchlight Pictures film focuses on a theater camp struggling to stay afloat after its founder falls into a coma. Edebiri steps in as Janet, a new teacher at camp working amidst a group of AdirondACTS diehards who've spent their summers there for years. The film delivers big laughs as it pokes fun at camp clichés, but it also rocks a powerful beating heart that celebrates what a special experience it can be, especially when that love is shared with newcomers.On August 25th, brace yourself for Bottoms. It's a coming-of-age comedy that doesn't hold back in the least, delivering consistent laughs and shocking story beats via an irresistible ensemble, a combination that not only sparks the itch for repeat viewings but could ultimately turn the film into a raunchy high school comedy classic. Edebiri stars opposite longtime friend and collaborator Rachel Sennott as Josie and PJ, two unpopular high school students eager to hook up with cheerleaders. How do they go about doing that? By starting a female fight club, and it actually works.And finally, we have Edebiri's new movie hitting theaters nationwide this weekend, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem in which she takes over the iconic role of April. Edebiri's version of the character has had enough of being dubbed “puke girl.” She wants her peers at Eastman High to respect her, and she might have found the perfect way to make that happen — by teaming up with the Ninja Turtles. Turns out, the Turtles also just want to fit in. If the Turtles can save the city by stopping Superfly and April can break the story, they might all wind up being accepted and respected.Clearly Edebiri's career is skyrocketing at the moment, but it took some time and legwork to get there, and she took a moment to recap some of that journey on an episode of Collider Ladies Night.

Like its obvious predecessor WAITING FOR GUFFMAN, the new THEATER CAMP is an improv-heavy mockumentary about a cash-strapped theatrical operation — but in this case at least there's real talent in the mix, thanks to the many gifted child actors populating the AdirondACTS summer program for aspiring young performers. This leaves THEATER CAMP's adult cast, some of them former child actors themselves, free to lean into self-satirizing buffoonery while maintaining a degree of sincere admiration for theatrical weirdos everywhere. We dig into the ups and downs of that tonal balance in THEATER CAMP before comparing it to GUFFMAN's own blend of affection and condescension toward amateur theater, the people who make it, and the audiences who respond to it, as well as how the mockumentary style has evolved in the years separating the two films. And in Your Next Picture Show, we use the presence of Molly Gordon and Ayo Edebiri in THEATER CAMP as an excuse for a mini bonus episode on a recent season of TV that also features both: THE BEAR.  Please share your comments, thoughts, and questions about WAITING FOR GUFFMAN, THEATER CAMP, or anything else in the world of film, by sending an email to comments@nextpictureshow.net, or leaving a short voicemail at (773) 234-9730.

In the funny new mockumentary Theater Camp, a summer camp for musical theater kids falls on hard times when its founder slips into a coma. The movie stars Ben Platt and Molly Gordon as two codependent instructors staging an original musical, and Jimmy Tatro as the business influencer son of the camp's founder, who reluctantly takes over the camp. Directed by Gordon and Nick Lieberman, the film both skewers and glorifies the love of theater.

"Theater Camp" had its world premiere at the 2023 Sundance Film Festival and is now playing in theaters from Searchlight Pictures. Co-director and co-writer Nick Lieberman was kind enough to spend time with us talking about his work on the film with co-director and writer Molly Gordon, his experience as a theater kid, if there are any deleted scenes, and more.

On this episode, Matt and Grace are joined by theatre influencer Ashley Hufford to discuss the new movie “Theater Camp,” which is hitting movie theaters on Friday, July 14. Written by Ben Platt, Noah Galvin, Molly Gordon, and Nick Lieberman. Ben, Noah, and Molly star in the film about a read more The post Roundtable Episode: Breaking Down the theatre and the camp in ‘Theater Camp’ appeared first on BroadwayRadio.

Ben Platt really loves live theater—and now, that passion for the stage is on full display in “Theater Camp,” the Christopher Guest-inspired mockumentary Platt co-wrote with longtime friends and collaborators Molly Gordon, Nick Lieberman, and Noah Galvin. Platt also co-stars alongside Gordon, who also co-directed with Lieberman. The film is a real labor of love, with its spotlight shining directly on the importance of spaces like theater camps for any young mind with an interest in the arts. For Platt, working with the movie's extensive cast of kid actors was a lesson all its own. “It just reminds you why you're doing this in the first place, and what instilled a deep enough love of something that you were willing to be in a business that isn't the easiest or most stable, or is certainly quite an anxiety-provoking lifestyle to choose,” Platt told us. “The purity of their excitement to be there, their raw talent and willingness to jump in—and also how deeply they looked up to all of us, and were listening to us—it makes you take a lot of responsibility and pride in the kind of artists and professionals that you are, and that you want to inspire them to be.” On this episode of In the Envelope: The Actor's Podcast, Platt explains what theater can teach every actor, and what making “Theater Camp” taught him about himself. --- Backstage has been the #1 resource for actors and talent-seekers for 60 years.

Four years ago, the release of this film marked the directorial debut of Olivia Wilde who up until this time had mostly been well-known as an actress.  And she really does make quite a memorable debut with this raunchy "One Crazy Night" comedy about two soon-to-be-high-school graduates (Kaitlyn Dever, Beanie Feldstein) who are the smartest students in their class and the best of friends.  As one of them just found out that they are not the only graduates in their class who are going on to bigger and better things, they decide to spend this one last night before graduation to show that they can also have "fun" with the best of them.  And what results is a night of parties, drugs, homicidal cabbies, fancy yachts, and various other hijinks!  Also along for the ride are co-stars Jessica Williams, Mason Gooding, Diana Silvers, Molly Gordon, and Billie Lourd.Host: Geoff Gershon Special Guest Co-Host: Isabelle Gershon Editors: Geoff and Ella GershonProducer: Marlene Gershonhttps://livingforthecinema.com/Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/Living-for-the-Cinema-Podcast-101167838847578Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/livingforthecinema/Letterboxd:https://letterboxd.com/Living4Cinema/
