Steven Soderbergh returns with The Christophers, an art-world dark comedy starring Ian McKellen and Michaela Coel in a duel of wits neither actor backs down from. McKellen plays an aging, once-celebrated painter; Coel plays the forger his estranged children hire to secretly complete his unfinished works. Joshua Hunter breaks down why some critics are calling this Soderbergh's most emotionally resonant film in years, digs into the electric chemistry between McKellen and Coel, and gives his honest verdict on whether this two-hander lives up to the hype.

Joshua Hunter takes on Arizona, the 2018 dark comedy thriller starring Danny McBride, Rosemarie DeWitt, and Luke Wilson. Set against the backdrop of the housing market crash, the film follows a struggling realtor who gets pulled into a spiral of chaos after a shady home-flipper's world starts falling apart. Joshua breaks down whether the film's mix of dark humor and thriller tension actually lands, how McBride's performance holds up against his usual comedic roles, and if this one deserves a bigger audience than it got on release.

Joshua Hunter dives into Mile End Kicks, Chandler Levack's coming-of-age rom-com starring Barbie Ferreira as Grace, a 24-year-old music critic who moves to Montreal in 2011 to write a book about Alanis Morissette's Jagged Little Pill — and instead ends up entangled with two members of the same indie band she's supposed to be covering. Joshua breaks down whether this loosely structured, "early 2010s hipster" energy actually works, Ferreira's lead performance, and if the film's takes on arts criticism & land with real weight.

Joshua Hunter reviews Byeeee, Chell Stephen's pitch-black comedy starring friend of the podcast Romina D'Ugo as Andy, a disgraced tech founder who retreats to her family's abandoned lakeside cottage after a very public scandal — for what she insists will be her final weekend alive. Joshua breaks down how the film balances its dark humor with genuine emotional weight, digs into D'Ugo's breakout performance, and unpacks whether this two-hander about performance, isolation, and the absurd logistics of self-destruction earns its comedy without undercutting its heavier themes.
