If your main weekend struggle is spending hours mindlessly scrolling through streaming menus only to settle on a movie you have already seen dozens of times, Joseph Scrimshaw’s meta-horror comedy Dead Media hits painfully close to home. Executive-produced by genre veteran Joe Lynch (Wrong Turn 2, Mayhem), this clever, nostalgic thriller serves as an affectionate homage to cult classics, analog horror, and the forgotten era of physical media special features. The Curse of the Commentary Track The narrative transforms modern streaming-choice paralysis into a visceral physical nightmare. The story centers on Maggie (Sammi-Jack Martinack), a troubled young woman attempting to host a low-key movie night with her two best friends. After wasting countless minutes searching through digital catalogs, the group settles on renting a long-lost 1990s cult-classic horror film titled The Lurcher. Before they can start streaming, Maggie’s overly eccentric uncle (James Urbaniak) arrives unexpectedly. He insists they abandon the compressed digital stream and watch the movie as originally intended:

Official synopsis from Annick Mahnert’s Fantastic Fest summary Set in the French countryside at the end of the 19th century, The Ones Who Grieve follows Jacob, a deeply religious man who works as a soul keeper. Believing he is liberating those afflicted by a mysterious illness, he imprisons them behind wooden masks after sewing their eyes and mouths shut. His daughter, Zélie, lives under his tyrannical rule and dreams of freedom. When Jacob sells her beloved horse, Thunder, her resentment reaches its breaking point, prompting her to defy him by hiding an infected soldier in the family barn. Review Director Can Evrenol gave cinephiles perhaps the strongest candidate so far for “Feel-Bad Movie of the Year” in 2026 with his pitch-black Spanish horror comedy The Turkish Coffee Table (a reimagining of Caye Casas’s also disturbing The Coffee Table [La mesita del comedor]). But now along comes director Quarxx, who says “Hold my needles, thread, hammers, pliers, wooden masks, and guns”

Walton Goggins has officially stepped back into the irradiated skin of Cooper Howard, and a fresh set of leaks from “Fallout Season 3” offer an intriguing peek at his evolving Wasteland wardrobe. Fans spotted Goggins near the set sporting his signature prosthetic makeup, cattleman’s hat, and a blue button-down shirt. Stripped of his battered overcoat, the appearance sparked immediate debate over whether the Gunslinger is getting an upgraded ensemble or simply shedding heavy outerwear due to a desert heatwave. Reddit Notably, the weathered blue shirt strongly resembles an aged, 200-year-old iteration of the Sheriff costume Cooper wore to a children’s birthday party on the fateful day the bombs dropped in 2077. Further set photos showing a double riding a horse in pristine pre-apocalypse cowboy gear strongly suggest Season 3 will continue to delve into the Ghoul’s tragic past. @lucks_eterna/X Salt Lake Pitstops and Meta Wasteland Cinema Production recently took over the historic Fox Theatre in Pomona, California.
