By the eighty-fourth fried chicken meal, the food has stopped resembling food. Liana Stewart’s camera studies battered skin, stripped bones, sauce-smeared boxes, and Mo Gilligan’s increasingly exhausted face until the familiar pleasure of a takeaway acquires the texture of evidence. Repetition does the work. One bucket looks inviting. Dozens resemble debris. Big Chicken: A Fast Food Conspiracy places the British comedian on a 28-day diet of fried chicken for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, tracking the damage through medical tests and changes in his mood. The setup borrows openly from Super Size Me, though Gilligan arrives with a different relationship to...

The law in One Night Only is monstrous, but the movie keeps dressing it for brunch. Three years after the United States has outlawed premarital sex, unmarried citizens receive a twelve-hour exemption from 7 p.m. to 7 a.m., their marital status displayed through tattoo-like biosensors and their compliance tracked by police. Will Gluck films this annual release valve like a citywide block party. King Princess sings “Love Is in the Air,” brands flood subway walls with condom ads, and New York glows with the soft heat of a summer date movie. That brightness is the film’s first evasion. Travis Braun’s...

Walk five metres away from a friend and their voice begins to dissolve. A few steps later, they are gone. That shrinking audio radius is the central rule in Big Walk, and House House builds nearly every puzzle, joke, panic, and reunion around it. The studio’s previous game, Untitled Goose Game, created comedy through authored objectives and one disruptive animal. Big Walk replaces that script with a shared island and gives the troublemaking role to the players. Two to twelve people enter as long-limbed, beak-nosed creatures, then receive one firm instruction: stay off Discord. Party chat would erase the game’s...

Farva rescuing Sarita from an exploding Mini is the first sensible act he has committed across three films, which may explain why everyone treats the resulting engagement as evidence of neurological damage. Sarita falls for him immediately. Thorny, her brother and Farva’s longtime victim, reacts as though Vermont has legalized a new category of crime. That premise gives Super Troopers 3 its clearest reason to exist. Broken Lizard’s 2001 original turned state authority into a clubhouse for bored men with mustaches, patrol cars, and too much confidence. The 2018 sequel revived the clubhouse. This third film finally places a private...

Bret complains that his generation had it harder because serial killers kept interrupting adolescence. He delivers this wisdom while driving an “old” Mercedes through the wealthy hills of Los Angeles, which tells us almost everything about The Shards before the Trawler claims another victim. Bret Easton Ellis and Ryan Murphy have built a nine-episode coming-of-age thriller around teenagers who treat cocaine etiquette as a life skill and emotional honesty as a suspicious new fad. It is 1981, and Bret (Igby Rigney) is entering his final year at an elite school with his girlfriend Debbie (Hayes Warner), his adored friend Susan...

American folklore rarely arrives with a copyright dispute attached. The Patterson-Gimlin film did. Shot in Northern California in 1967, its grainy 59 seconds show a large, humanlike figure crossing a sandbar, glancing toward the camera, and disappearing into the trees. That brief movement created a durable piece of national mythology, one sustained by cryptozoologists, television producers, convention organizers, museum curators, and families arguing over ownership. Marq Evans’ Capturing Bigfoot treats those images less like scientific evidence than a cultural artifact with a long, unruly afterlife. Rather than assembling an endless tribunal of specialists to inspect every stride, Evans returns to...
