The genre maestro behind Hostel, Cabin Fever, and last year’s slasher hit Thanksgiving has officially unveiled the cast for his next blood-soaked creation, Ice Cream Man, the debut feature from his new company, The Horror Section. Leading the pack is Orphan Black standout Ari Millen as the titular frozen treat vendor from hell.

And yes, Roth himself will appear in front of the camera, because what’s an Eli Roth joint without a cameo from the master of mayhem? A Twenty-Year Nightmare Finally Served “I couldn’t be more excited about the incredible cast we’ve assembled for Ice Cream Man,” Roth said in a statement. “It’s surreal to see t...

In an era where Hollywood comedies are rare and the ones we do get feel airbrushed, cautious, or overly self-aware, The Naked Gun (2025) arrives like a custard pie hurled straight at the face of subtlety. Directed by Akiva Schaffer (Chip ’n Dale: Rescue Rangers, Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping), this revival of the classic spoof franchise doesn’t tiptoe around nostalgia; it sprints into chaos with a banana peel in one hand and a whoopee cushion in the other. The result is a film that takes more comedic swings in a single scene than some modern comedies attempt in their entire runtime. Not every joke lands, sure, but enough of them do, and often spectacularly, to make The Naked Gun (2025) one of the most flat-out enjoyable theatrical comedies in years. Stepping into the shoes of the late, great Leslie Nielsen was never going to be easy, but Liam Neeson approaches the role of Frank Drebin Jr., the son of the original disaster-magnet detective, with absolute commitment. The key here is...

When This Is Spinal Tap first premiered in 1984, few could have predicted that its deadpan take on rock and roll hubris would become one of the most quoted, beloved, and influential comedies in film history. Forty years later, Rob Reiner and the original trio, Christopher Guest, Michael McKean, and Harry Shearer, have returned to the amplifiers that once went “one louder.” The result, Spinal Tap 2: The End Continues, is a surprisingly tender, frequently hilarious love letter to aging artists, enduring friendship, and the absurd beauty of making noise together long after the world has stopped listening. It could have been a disaster. So many late-stage sequels stumble into the traps of nostalgia or self-parody. But Spinal Tap 2 largely sidesteps those pitfalls by doing something bold: it embraces its own age. This isn’t the swaggering, spandex-clad satire of 1984. This is a story about three men who once believed their music could shake arenas, and who now find meaning in shaking hands,...

A new trailer has dropped for Atropia, the feature directorial debut of filmmaker and journalist Hailey Benton Gates, and it’s every bit as provocative, surreal, and darkly funny as its premise suggests. Written and directed by Gates, and produced by Naima Abed, Emilie Georges, Luca Guadagnino, Lana Kim, and Jett Steiger, Atropia stars Alia Shawkat, Callum Turner, Zahra Alzubaidi, Tony Shawkat, Jane Levy, Tim Heidecker, Lola Kirke, and Chloë Sevigny. The film will hit theaters on Friday, December 12, with an expanded rollout planned for January 2026. Set in a fictional country fabricated by the U.S. military, Atropia takes place in one of several hyperreal “simulation towns” used to train American soldiers before deployment. These uncanny, made-to-look-real environments, complete with extras, props, and fake insurgents, are designed to immerse soldiers in the chaos of war without ever leaving U.S. soil. In Gates’ hands, that bizarre premise becomes the backdrop for a biting, genre-bend...

Bars across the United States descended into collective despair Monday after MTV announced it was finally ending its long-running clip show Ridiculousness, a cultural mainstay that had kept millions of televisions glowing above pool tables and sticky bar tops for over a decade. “I just… I don’t know what we’re supposed to do now,” said Denver bar owner Chris Mendez, staring blankly at a wall of muted flat screens once filled with Rob Dyrdek laughing at people falling off skateboards. “We tried putting on SportsCenter, but everyone just sat there quietly and started reflecting on their lives. It got weird fast.” For years, Ridiculousness served as America’s unifying background noise — the nation’s sonic wallpaper of “oofs,” “oh mans,” and laughter from people who may or may not have had concussions. Without it, bar owners fear patrons may be forced to talk to each other or, worse, think. “We turned on the news, and people started arguing. We switched to Shark Tank, and suddenly everyone...

Today’s episode is a really fun one — I got to sit down with Augie Duke to talk about her work on The Workout, but like all good conversations, we ended up going everywhere. We talk about the fear that creeps in when you become a parent, the joy and tragedy of video stores, pets, and a bunch of other beautifully random things along the way. Now, full disclosure — this one’s got some real-life texture to it. Augie’s Wi-Fi drops out here and there, so there are a few abrupt edits, and I had the office door open because, you know, life happens — the dogs are making noise, one of my kids and the love of my life walk by. It’s a bit chaotic… and I honestly wouldn’t have it any other way. So settle in, embrace the imperfections, and enjoy this conversation with Augie Duke. The Workout is now available on VOD.
