Venice 2026: Zizek's 'The Pervert's Guide to Utopias' is Good Cinema

"Our duty is to see things the way they are, and to do this, we need cinema." The only thing slightly more refreshing than splashing cold water on your face is listening to maestro Slavoj Zizek slap you (in the face) with some ridiculous truths about what's screwed up with the world & how we're all a part of this madness. What's even more entertaining is simply listening to Slavoj Zizek geek out about his favorite movies and talk about dystopian society for over two hours. One of my favorite uber-geeky, philosophical documentary films of 2026 is The Pervert's Guide to Utopias, the latest doc creation made by filmmaker Sophie Fiennes and Slovenian philosopher Slavoj Žižek. This is their third film together complete a trilogy across decades: starting with The Pervert's Guide to Cinema (in 2006) and continuing with The Pervert's Guide to Ideology (in 2012). In 2026, Zizek is ready to address the broken, chaotic, authoritarian, insane world we live in right now. He engages in this by, once again, bringing up a bunch of classic films (and TV) about dystopian sci-fi futures & authoritarian societies. Even if his thoughts are a bit off, he's always so fun to listen to every time. // Continue Reading ›

Scary Full Trailer for 'Crystal Lake' - The 'Friday the 13th' Horror Series

"I don't want to heal... I want to find my son. I just had this feeling... that he was still out there. Jason!" 😱 A24 presents a new horror series based on the iconic slasher franchise - Crystal Lake, a prequel series to Friday the 13th, following a doomed small town where camp counselors come to die. This is the "origin story" showing us what happened when it all began. Peacock will air the 8 episodes of this chilling series for streaming starting in October - obviously during horror season. It is a prequel to the original 1980 film that kicked off the franchise. Starring Linda Cardellini in the main role as Pamela Voorhees, Callum Vinson as a young Jason Voorhees, along with William Catlett, Devin Kessler, Cameron Scoggins, Phoenix Parnevik, and Gwendolyn Sundstrom. They went back & filmed at Camp No-Be-Bo-Sco in Blairstown, New Jersey, the exact same camp location and town used in the 1980 original film - really connecting it all back to the first Friday the 13th. After a grand total of 11 sequels in the F13 Jason series so far, do we really need to make a whole prequel? As a series? This is premiering at TIFF this month before it's out in the fall. That said, this footage does look legit. It's better than expected – filled with plenty of slasher terror to enjoy. // Continue Reading ›

David Corenswet is John Tuggle in 'Mr Irrelevant' Football Movie Trailer

"I felt love, I've tasted victory, and I've been brought to my knees..." 🏈 Paramount Pictures has unveiled the first official trailer for the sports movie Mr. Irrelevant, an underdog success story from the 1980s. This is hitting theaters at Christmas and it's poised to be a major hit in the US, pulling in football fans for another feel-good story. "Mr. Irrelevant" is the nickname given to a player selected with the final pick in an NFL draft. Mr. Irrelevant: The Movie is the inspiring true story of John Tuggle, as played by Superman himself David Corenswet, the last player selected in the last round of the 1983 NFL draft by the New York Giants. A true underdog, Tuggle defied expectations on the field and off for his then first-year head coach, Bill Parcells, as played by Michael Shannon. Tuggle played most of the 1983 season on special teams, but was promoted to starting fullback in week 12 when Rob Carpenter was injured, eventually being voted the special teams player of the year by his teammates. Corenswet & Shannon co-star with Isabel May, David Krumholtz, Tuwaine Barrett, Thaddeus LaGrone, Alexander England, Spencer House, & Tandi Wright. This looks cheesy, of course, but still seems quite good – especially with Corenswet giving it his all. // Continue Reading ›

Venice 2026 Awards: 'Woman Unknown' & 'Possible Love' Top Prizes

Who's taking the Golden Lion home this year? At the end of it all, we finally have our winners. The 83nd Venice Film Festival wrapped up this weekend on the Lido island in Venice, and awards were handed out at a fancy awards show in the Sala Grande. The top prize at Venice is a Golden Lion (in honor of the iconic lion that is the symbol of the city) and it's one of the top prizes in cinema along with the Palme d'Or from Cannes (which was given to Cristian Mungiu in May). This year's winner is the film Woman Unknown, a Danish feature about a woman just after World War II living in Denmark dealing with intense accusations following the war. Just like last year's oddball pick, this is another entirely unexpected Golden Lion winner – and a film that most critics (even those who like it) agree isn't really the best film at the fest and shouldn't have won. Then again, it is the only film in the Venice Competition line-up that is directed by a woman, and the jury was lead by Maggie Gyllenhaal this year who pretty clearly stated she preferred this film so that a female director is the winner. It's a good film, but not a great film compared to the other favorites: Possible Love (which did get the second place prize), Wild Horse Nine (which did get Best Actor), Naza (which got a special prize), and Look Back. Tons of great winners this year. View the full list of #Venezia83 przies below. // Continue Reading ›
