The summer movie season is winding down, and one of the year’s biggest comedies has hit theaters. At home, Netflix offers a number of iconic comedies for subscribers to enjoy. With back-to-school classics and modern masterpieces, anyone looking for a laugh can surely find something to enjoy on Netflix this month.

Here are seven of the best comedy movies streaming on Netflix now.

“Dazed and Confused” (Gramercy Pictures) “Dazed and Confused”

Few films evoke high school memories as strongly as “Dazed and Confused,” Richard Linklater’s follow-up to his 1990 feature debut, “Slacker.” The film features a sprawling cast of high schoolers, filled with incoming freshmen, rising seniors and everything in between, as they coalesce on the final day of the school year. The movie may take place in 1970s Texas, featuring hazing rituals and pastimes that may seem alien to today’s current crop of high schoolers, yet the...

Here at JoBlo, we love the eighties. Heck, we even have a Facebook page and a YouTube channel called Loving the 80s— that’s how much we’re obsessed with the decade. However, when you think about all your favorite eighties movies, I’m willing to bet that for the majority of them, there’s a song that immediately comes to mind. That’s because the 80s were the heyday of movie soundtracks. Nowadays, movies just don’t have super popular songs associated with them the way they used to (which is why the Best Original Song category at the Oscars is so horrendous). It’s a shame, because there’s something about a hit song and a movie together that’s just indelible.

But there are two kinds of eighties movie soundtracks. There are those like Against All Odds, where the theme song “Take a Look at Me Now...

Chicago – “Mad About You” mania is about to erupt at the 2025 Fan Expo Chicago on Saturday August 16th at 7pm.

The event is a separate ticket from the main admission, get all information and tickets by clicking Mad About You.

The show followed the lives of Paul and Jamie Buchman, a filmmaker and public relations specialist respectively, as they navigated living in New York City as newlyweds and beyond. The show lasted seven seasons, 1992-99 … with a revival eighth season in 2019 … and even had the couple birthing and raising a child named Mabel. As the couple and family evolved, the show was beloved for its comedic take on their marital relationship.

Analysis paralysis can hit harder than Denzel Washington fighting the Russian mob. This can be especially true when you know you just want to kick back and enjoy fist fights and shootouts but are caught in a sea of subgenres, stories, and tones that -- if encountered by the wrong audience -- can turn a decent action flick to a real chore.

At /Film, we're happy to find every action fan the exact flavor of violence that will make you the hero of movie night, even if it means digging through mountains of Netflix content on your behalf. From buddy action comedies starring Will Ferrell and Eddie Murphy to relentlessly gory thrillers from gritty directors Leigh Whannell and Sam Hargrave,...

Paul Reiser is returning to network television. 14 years after NBC canceled his short-lived sitcom The Paul Reiser Show, the actor is teaming with The Goldbergs creator Adam F. Goldberg for a new comedy series on Fox.

According to Deadline, Reiser has partnered with Goldberg to develop an untitled multi-camera comedy series, which will follow the dysfunctional fallout after the family’s failed-to-launch twentysomething son is forced to work alongside his father (Reiser) in the less-than-glamorous New Jersey damaged goods business. In addition to executive producing, Reiser is writing the script with his son, Leon Reiser, and Goldberg, the latter of whom is also attached as an executive producer.

"So excited to be creating this show with the good people at Fox and my two great partners in crime — Adam F. Goldberg and Leon Reiser," said Reiser in a statement. "This feels like it’s on its way to be something really special.

Eddie Murphy doesn't do any of his own stunts.The 64-year-old actor is famous for his comedy roles and action films, which memorable movies including Beverly Hills Cop, Trading Places and The Nutty Professor.Eddie can currently be seen in Prime Video's new action-comedy film The Pickup which sees him play armoured truck driver Russell (Murphy) who, along with his colleague Travis (Pete Davidson), is caught up in a criminal plan to ambush their truck during a routine cash pickup.Although the movie contains numerous action scenes, Eddie says his days of risking his health for entertainment are over and he's happy to hand over his stunt scenes to the experts.In an interview with Collider.com, Eddie said: "I'm not doing any stunts. "I'm not trying to do no stunts. You might see other actors, movie stars, do their own stunts and get older, and they still... People are...

The Goldbergs bade farewell to viewers back in 2023 after ten seasons and 229 episodes on the air, following the titular family in the 1980s. At last, however, series creator Adam F. Goldberg has now found his follow-up to his semi-autobiographical comedy, and he's teaming up with another sitcom veteran to make it happen. A report from Deadline today revealed that Mad About You star and co-creator Paul Reiser is working on a new multi-camera series at Fox and has tapped Goldberg to help pen the script with him and his son, Leon Reiser. The younger Reiser is also producing, while the elder Reiser executive produces and stars in the sitcom, which is currently in early development.

The as-yet-untitled sitcom will follow a dysfunctional father-son duo in the aftermath of a fallout within the family. After the twentysomething fails to launch himself into adulthood, he's forced to work alongside his dad in...

The release of Shrek 5 has been delayed until summer 2027.The upcoming movie in DreamWorks' animated franchise has been pushed back six months to June 30, 2027, from its previously slated December 2026 opening so it no longer has to compete in a crowded Christmas release season that also features Avengers: Doomsday and Dune: Part III.Universal has also shifted an untitled Illumination picture from Shrek 5's old date to April 16, 2027.The new Shrek flick will be the first film in the main series since Shrek Forever After was released in 2010 and sees Zendaya join the cast as the titular ogre's daughter Felicia whilst regulars Mike Myers, Eddie Murphy and Cameron Diaz are back to lend their voices to Shrek, Donkey and Fiona respectively.Murphy has suggested that Shrek 5 will be packed full of comedy just as the preceding films have been.The 64-year-old actor told Extra: "I've recorded some great stuff.

Universal Pictures has moved back the release date for DreamWorks Animation’s Shrek 5 from December 23, 2026, to Wednesday, June 30, 2027. Before the December 2026 date, the fifth installment was previously scheduled for a July 1, 2026, release.

It’s worth noting that the new release date is just five days after Sony Pictures’ Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse on June 25, 2027. Universal’s release of Illumination’s The Untitled Illumination Event Film will also move from June 30, 2027, to Friday, April 16, 2027, taking the place of another untitled Universal event film.

DreamWorks Animation invites audiences back to a land Far, Far Away for a thrilling new adventure in one of the most beloved global animated franchises of all time: Shrek 5.

Comedy legends Mike Myers, Oscar nominee Eddie Murphy, and Cameron Diaz return to their signature roles as Shrek, Donkey, and Fiona, and will be joined by Zendaya.

Acclaimed filmmakers and Shrek franchise veterans Conrad Vernon and Walt Dohrn will direct Shrek 5.

The 80s marked the twilight years of Charles Bronson’s run as an action hero. He spent most of the decade churning out action films for The Cannon Group, with Death Wish III and Death Wish IV: The Crackdown two notable examples. Yet, of all the movies he made with them, one of the more popular titles was 10 to Midnight, which did something a little different, in that it melded the cop films he was known for with the then-nascent slasher genre. And now, the movie, which was wildly controversial for its nasty flashes of violence, is heading to 4K Blu-ray courtesy of Kino Lorber. No release date is set yet, but the company has promised it’s being completed from a new 4K master.

In 10 to Midnight, Bronson plays a cop who’s going after a serial killer targeting young women. When he catches the killer (Gene Davis) red-handed,...

Eddie Murphy stands by the movie that won him multiple Golden Raspberry Awards, aka Razzies, and is speculated to have lost him his one and only Oscar nomination. Murphy is one of the most beloved comedic actors of all time, having made a name for himself as a performer on Saturday Night Live before later dominating the box office.

But since Murphy’s run of well-received 1980s films like Beverly Hills Cop and Coming to America, his projects haven’t always landed with ubiquitous praise. Films like The Nutty Professor, Dr. Doolittle, and I Spy certainly found their audiences, but received mixed reviews from critics. But it sounds like the comedian isn’t letting that get to him.

Eddie Murphy Stands By Norbit (2007), Doesn’t Think It Ruined His Oscar Chances

In an interview with Complex, Eddie Murphy got to talking about Norbit, his 2007 film that was a box office success,...

Eddie Murphy is defending his 2007 comedy Norbit, 18 years later.

The actor-comedian was the top contender for the best supporting actor Oscar following his 2006 performance in Dreamgirls, though it’s been long believed that he lost out on the award after Norbit released in 2007. Although it’s commonly assumed that the comedy snuffed out his Oscars campaign, Murphy doesn’t agree with that sentiment.

“I love Norbit. Norbit came out right after I got that Oscar nomination,” he told Complex. “There were articles like, ‘How can he get an Oscar, he did this?’ They’re two different movies.”

The Beverly Hills Cop lead stood ten toes down for the film, which he notably wrote alongside his brother, Charlie Murphy. He continued, “I wrote Norbit with my brother, Charlie, and we think Norbit is funny. Here’s the thing with Norbit — it came out and they gave me Razzie Awards for worst actress,...

Eddie Murphy isn't motivated by accolades - but he'd still love to win an Oscar.The 64-year-old actor has enjoyed huge success in Hollywood, starring in hit film franchises like Beverly Hills Cop and Shrek, but Eddie insists that he's not motivated by awards.The comedian-turned-actor told Sky News: "The movies are timeless, and they're special, so for years and years those movies play and the movies have commercial success."So you make a lot of money and people love it, so you don't even think about 'I didn't win a trophy!' The response from the people and that the movie has legs, that's the trophy."You know what I've earned over these years? One day, they'll give me one of those honorary Oscars. When I'm really old. And I'll say thank you so much for this wonderful honour. I'll be old like that and I'll have no teeth.

There’s been much talk lately of the decline of the movie comedy. But action-comedies, the movie comedy’s punchier, shootier, more explodey cousin, are all the rage — at least for streaming services looking for undemanding, easy-to-watch, pop-it-on-in-the-background fare. In the last year alone, we’ve had Deep Cover, Heads Of State, Love Hurts, Novocaine, Back In Action, Guns Up — and now The Pickup, starring Eddie Murphy.

Murphy would seem like canny casting: he is largely responsible for the popularity of action-comedies in their modern form, having starred in some of the greatest incarnations of the subgenre in the 1980s, from 48 Hrs. to Beverly Hills Cop. But in The Pickup, he is unwisely and disappointingly placed in the role of the straight man, his natural comedic gifts largely muzzled, while fellow former SNL cast-member Pete Davidson takes the role of his comedic foil. They play mismatched security guards thrown together for a job,...

Eddie Murphy has determined one of his next projects with Playas Ball. Murphy is known for his comedic acting, contributing his talents to everything from Harlem Nights to The Nutty Professor. One of his major franchises is Beverly Hills Cop, which got a new installment last year with Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F.

At 64 years old, Murphy is still a highly prolific actor. Next year, he will reprise one of his most iconic roles by returning to voice Donkey for Shrek 5. He isalso confirmed to be voice acting again for an animated version of The Pink Panther, playing Inspector Clouseau.

Per Deadline, Murphy has now set his next project. He will star in the film Playas Ball, and while the exact plot has yet to be revealed, the source had it described to them as an action comedy focusing on the undead. The movie will be directed by...

Eddie Murphy has starred in a long list of beloved films over the course of his illustrious career, encompassing a wide variety of roles, with some of his most notable performances coming from Beverly Hills Cop, Coming to America, and more recently, Dolemite Is My Name. Despite his on-screen successes, Murphy has never won an Academy Award, and he predicts that he won't be picking up a coveted Oscar statuette any time soon, even though his latest action-comedy The Pickupis currently dominating Prime Video's streaming charts.

Murphy made the surprising Oscars prediction while speaking to Sky News on the press tour for The Pickup, in which he stars as an armored truck driver alongside Pete Davidson. The film debuted on Prime Video on Aug. 6, and immediately found an audience, as it rocketed to the top of the streaming chart within hours of its release. The heist comedy remains in the No.

Eddie Murphy's 2025 heist comedy is dominating Prime Video immediately after its release. Best known for starring in the Beverly Hills Cop series, Murphy has enjoyed significant box office successes throughout his career — but some of his movies also fell short, with a few considered to be flops.

More recently, the star has found success in the streaming era. In 2023, his Christmas movie, Candy Cane Lane, became Amazon MGM Studios' most-streamed movie at that time despite having received mixed reviews. In 2024, Murphy's Beverly Hills Cop: Alex F debuted as one of the most-watched English-speaking movies on Netflix and spent at least a week in the streamer's Top 10.

Eddie Murphy's The Pickup Is The Most Popular Movie On Prime Video

Arriving on Prime Video on Aug. 6, the new heist comedy The Pickup stars Murphy as a truck driver, Russell Pierce, who is ambushed by criminals at a routine cash pickup. Teaming...

Prime Video’s The Pickup (2025), directed by Tim Story, puts a fresh spin on the buddy heist comedy formula with a vibrant ensemble and no shortage of surprises. The film centers on two armored truck drivers whose delivery spirals into chaos after a daring ambush by a crew of ruthless—and unexpectedly familiar—criminals. Here’s an in-depth look at the cast and the roles they bring to life.

‘The Pickup’: Complete Cast & Characters Guide 1. Eddie Murphy as Russell Pierce

Russell is a veteran armored truck driver who’s spent decades playing it safe for his wife, Natalie. All he wants is to complete his last shift and celebrate their 25th anniversary, but he’s drawn back into action when his route turns dangerous. Murphy’s signature blend of curmudgeonly humor and world-weary wisdom keeps the team grounded amid escalating tensions. Fans know Murphy from classics like Beverly Hills Cop,...

There are certain movies that over the years have become film industry shorthand for box office fiascos: "Heaven's Gate," "Ishtar," "Waterworld," "Cutthroat Island," and so forth. But in truth, I have no idea why "Waterworld" keeps getting name-checked as a massive bomb, seeing as it eventually broke even and inspired a massively popular stunt show at Universal Studios Hollywood. Also irksome: The worst of these movies, "Cutthroat Island," is at least packed with jaw-droppingly elaborate spectacle, while "Heaven's Gate" and "Ishtar" are genuinely great movies from two of the most talented directors of their era (Michael Cimino and Elaine May).

I've long held that a film's box office is of little concern to the general public. Once upon a time, if you were interested in the movie business, you had to shell out for a pricey subscription to Variety or The Hollywood Reporter. Then "Entertainment Tonight" debuted in 1981, and suddenly...

Eddie Murphy's new Prime Video comedy movie, a teaming with fellow SNL alum Pete Davidson, debuts with a disappointing Rotten Tomatoes score.

The star of such classics as 48 Hrs., Beverly Hills Cop and The Nutty Professor knows what it feels like to receive the adulation of critics. But Murphy has also experienced the other end of the critical spectrum, having starred in a handful of movies that were not merely panned, but brutalized.

There are indeed some massive flops on Murphy’s resume, including the notorious bombs The Adventures of Pluto Nash, Norbit, Beverly Hills Cop III and Vampire In Brooklyn. Critics also had their knives out for less-notable misfires like A Thousand Words, Holy Man, The Haunted Mansion, and I Spy.

Murphy’s recent comeback has largely resulted in middling reviews, with the notable exception of Dolemite Is My Name, currently Murphy’s best-performing film on Rt with a 97% fresh rating.

In just two days, comedy icons Eddie Murphy and Pete Davidson are about to join forces for a heist they never asked for in The Pickup. The new action comedy casts the pair of Saturday Night Live alumni as mismatched armored truck drivers who, during what should have been a routine, if lengthy, job, are ambushed and forced into a high-risk scheme orchestrated by the criminal mastermind Zoe, played by Nope star Keke Palmer. Before their very bad day spins out of control on streaming, though, Collider is partnering with Prime Video to share an exclusive sneak peek introducing the three main characters and their clashing personalities. It serves as a behind-the-scenes preview of how the chaotic film from director Tim Story came together.

After a brief scene showcasing the odd-couple at the center of The Pickup, Murphy teases his character, Russell, the no-nonsense married man who's about to have...

Picture 1984’s Beverly Hills Cop and you’ve got any number of images or sounds that made it one of the funniest movies of the decade – if not ever. But it wasn’t always supposed to be that way. Now try to picture Sylvester Stallone doing anything that Eddie Murphy did – we love Sly, but his comedy outings aren’t exactly classics. Early on, Stallone was actually attached to be the lead in Beverly Hills Cop. Fortunately, it wasn’t yet a comedy, only morphing into one once Murphy came on board. Prior to that, it was a straight-up action flick that had Stallone written all over it – well, an early draft did, at least.

While Daniel Petrie Jr. had his original version of the Beverly Hills Cop script just how he wanted it, Sylvester Stallone came in and rewrote it to make it fit his brand, turning the movie...

Exclusive: Eric Roberts (The Dark Knight) has signed on to star in the comedy drama Run Amok from co-writers Truman Hanks and William Bonnell. The film will shoot this summer in Los Angeles.

The film’s ensemble cast also features Bronson Pinchot (Beverly Hills Cop), Alexander James Rodriguez (Murder Motel), Kate Hess (Life Support), Colter B. Ford (Heavy Hitters), Wolf Taitano (Trumpacolypse), Alex Garcia Pompa (Godzilla: King of the Monsters), Finn Sanders (Doe a Deer) and singer Benji Patterson.

Directed by Bonnell, with Hanks as Director of Photography, Run Amok follows the chaos that reigns when the eccentric and dysfunctional Muck family gathers following the unexpected death of their patriarch, Dick Muck (Roberts), an accomplished Hollywood producer and mogul. At the lavish Beverly Hills estate, Dick’s four adult children, the eldest and scatterbrained Dick Jr. (Ford), glamorous Penny (Hess), the ambitious Tyler (Patterson), and youngest of the clan Cedar...

Anyone armed with a magnifying glass looking for clues as to who will star in the forthcoming reboot of The Pink Pantherfranchise can stop the search, as comedy legend Eddie Murphy has confirmed that he is taking on the famed role of Inspector Jacques Clouseau in the new film, which comes 16 years after the last installment. The Beverly Hills Cop star has been circling the role since 2023, but he has now officially added it to his slate of upcoming projects. He made the surprise announcement while speaking to Today's Al Roker:

"I'm getting ready to do a George Clinton, Parliament-Funkadelic. I'm getting ready to do George Clinton. [I've] already started Shrek 5. And I'm going to be— I'm Inspector Clouseau in the next Pink Panther."

Roker was clearly taken aback by the news, prompting Murphy to reiterate, "Yeah, I'm the new Clouseau." However, when asked whether his version of the...

Considering the fact that It — or Pennywise the Dancing Clown, as they prefer — is an ancient extraterrestrial entity who made first contact with Earth in approximately 1 Million Bce, it's somewhat surprising that it's taken 39 years for Stephen King's horror opus and its titular terrifier to get a spin-off. But now, with HBO Max's upcoming It: Welcome To Derry, we are about to get exactly that: a prequel series to Andy Muschietti's It duology set in 1962, 27 years before Pennywise and The Loser Club first made each other's acquaintance. And if the new trailer for the show is anything to go by, it looks like sleep's back off the menu — check it out below;

Globophobes, coulrophobes, and general fraidy-cats (us included) beware — showrunners Jason Fuchs and Brad Caleb Kane aren't clowning around as they pick up the baton from series co-developer Muschietti with Welcome To Derry. Despite this latest...

A couple of years ago, we reported on Eddie Murphy engaging in negotiations to star in a new continuity of Pink Panther films. The original movie starred Peter Sellers as Inspector Clouseau as he tracks down a notorious jewel thief known as “The Phantom” before he is able to steal a priceless diamond known as “The Pink Panther”. The opening credits included the cartoon panther that audiences have come to associate with the franchise, and sources said that this new project will attempt to meld both worlds. The live-action/CG hybrid movie is said to see “the Pink Panther’s live-action crew break him out of his animated prison to do a heist job.“

Since the news broke, Murphy has starred in Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F and soon, he will be starring in Amazon MGM’s The Pickup. Murphy recently spoke with NBC‘s Al Roker on Today in...

After two feature films, Bill Skarsgard will return to the role of Pennywise in the upcoming prequel seriesIT: Welcome to Derry. His comeback is teased in a new teaser trailer that was just released by HBO Max.

Set to arrive in October, just in time for the spooky holiday season, It: Welcome to Derry is an HBO Max series that serves as a prequel to Skarsgard's It films. Spanning nine episodes, the series will obviously follow a new cast of characters, though a certain familiar clown pops up in the new teaser trailer. Check out the video below.

The new show was developed for the small screen by Andy Muschietti and Barbara Muschietti, the filmmaking team behind It and It: Chapter Two, alongside Jason Fuchs. Andy Muschietti, who directed the two It films, also directs multiple episodes of It: Welcome to Derry. While the movies took direct inspiration from...

On July 25, It's time to head back to the links — and the 1990s — with Adam Sandler. The star is picking up his golf clubs again for Netflix's Happy Gilmore 2, a belated follow-up to the 1996 golf comedy that propelled him onto Hollywood's comedy A-list. It's the first time that Sandler has revisited one of those vintage comedies; to date, his only live-action sequels to previous successes have been Grown-Ups 2 and Murder Mystery 2.

Interestingly, Happy Gilmore 2 is arriving on Netflix one month ahead of Sandler's latest seriocomic turn; the actor will be starring alongside George Clooney in Noah Baumbach's Venice-bound feature Jay Kelly. And the two actors will likely be joined at the hip throughout awards season as Clooney positions himself for his first Best Actor nomination since The Descendants way back in 2013. (He won a Best Supporting Actor statuette in 2007 for Syriana.)

Meanwhile, Jay Kelly...

According to Liam Neeson (and the past several years of film releases), comedy at the cinema is dying. Back in my day, you couldn’t last the school day without hearing people talk about films like Tommy Boy, Airheads, Wayne’s World, Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery, Coneheads, The Big Lebowski, Napoleon Dynamite, and more. Those days are steadily going the way of the dodo. However, in a new PSA, Liam Neeson says you can help save the genre by showing your support for The Naked Gun, coming to theaters on August 1, 2025.

Here’s the official synopsis for The Naked Gun:

“Only one man has the particular set of skills… to lead Police Squad and save the world! Lt. Frank Drebin Jr. (Liam Neeson) follows in his father’s footsteps in The Naked Gun, directed by Akiva Schaffer and from producer Seth MacFarlane. Joining the cast are Pamela Anderson,...

It’s official—Guy Ritchie has slammed the door shut on Road House 2. While Amazon MGM Studios is still staying tight-lipped on why the filmmaker walked away, the sequel is still very much alive and kicking. Even Jake Gyllenhaal is set to reprise his role as the bouncer turned Florida renegade, Dalton.

After the original 2024 remake, we know that the Road House franchise still has plenty of punch left. So now the gig question remains—if not Guy Ritchie, who has the grit, style, and action chops to deliver this sequel? With screenwriter Will Beall (Bad Boys: Ride or Die) crafting the script and Gyllenhaal doubling down as both star and producer, the stage is set for an action-packed follow-up.

But it needs the right director—someone who knows how to mix the punches with cinematic flair. So, we’ve rounded up five directors who are somewhat best suited to replace Ritchie.

Iron Man. Star Wars: The Force Awakens. The Avengers. Deadpool & Wolverine. The famed Hall H at San Diego Comic-Con has become the go-to place for major studios to preview their upcoming big screen blockbusters, from new installments in billion dollar franchises to Marvel’s latest superhero offerings. Back in 2019, Deadline fittingly referred to San Diego Comic-Con as “Cannes for Capes,” calling Hall H “the biggest stage” at the annual event as well as “a mandatory stop for anybody in the business of sci-fi, fantasy, horror, or superhero fare.”

But many of the major studios – including Marvel and WB/DC – are sitting out Sdcc this year, leaving some big Hall H spots to be filled. And you better believe we’re filling one of them.

Cineverse and Bloody Disgusting are excited to announce today that director Macon Blair’s The Toxic Avenger will be oozing into Hall H at San Diego Comic-Con this summer!

Fans have been waiting a long time to see writer/director Macon Blair’s remake of the Troma cult classic The Toxic Avenger (watch it Here), which wrapped filming way back in 2021 and unveiled a teaser trailer near the end of 2023, around the time it had its world premiere screening – but we won’t have to wait much longer. At the start of the year, it was announced that Cineverse had acquired the distribution rights with the intention of giving the film a wide release, and we’ve since learned that they’re aiming for an August 29th theatrical release. Before we reach that date, it has been revealed that Toxie is going to be oozing his way into San Diego Comic-Con for a Hall H panel that’s scheduled to take place from 5:30Pm – 6:30Pm on Thursday, July 24th!

For those unfamiliar with the series, The Filmmakers Podcast is a podcast about how to make films from micro-budget indie films to bigger-budget studio films and everything in between. Our hosts Giles Alderson, Dom Lenoir, Dan Richardson, Andrew Rodger and Cristian James talk about how to get films made, how to actually make them and how to try not to f… it up in their very humble opinion. Guests will come on and chat about their filmmaking experiences from directors, writers, producers and screenwriters, to actors, cinematographers and distributors.

What makes a movie rewatchable? An interesting story? Compelling characters? Strong performances? Humor? Quotable lines? A truly rewatchable movie will have all of these and a little extra. We’re talking about the type of movies that you can throw on the TV when you’re having a bad day and instantly feel a little better. The type of movie that grabs your attention as you walk through the room and immediately distracts you from whatever you were doing. The type of movie that you have to watch, no matter how many times you’ve seen it before.

We took on the impossible task and compiled our list of the 25 most rewatchable movies of all time and listed them in chronological order of release. It doesn’t mean that they’re the greatest movies ever made (that’s a different list that you can check out here), it just means that they have that special,...

Denzel Washington’s agent will be getting a call – it looks as though there’s a sequel to Crimson Tide in the offing. More here.

Jerry Bruckheimer made an appearance on The Rich Eisen Show this week, where he gave brief updates on several projects, most of which we know to be in some stage of development. Another Top Gun film, a Pirates Of The Caribbean sequel and a return for Tom Cruise to motorsport with Days Of Thunder 2 – all were mentioned, and are all projects that in one way or another have already been mentioned in the past.

One surprise, however, was Bruckheimer’s announcement that a sequel to the submarine-set thriller Crimson Tide is in the works, with Bruckheimer adding that a director and writer are already in place. They’re developing a story that will follows on from the events of the first film, in which Denzel...

John Cena might've risen to fame thanks to his wrestling days, but he has become a popular actor since he switched to the film industry. However, not all his projects attracted positive reviews, but his new release makes an exciting change.

Ahead ofPeacemaker Season 2's release later this summer, John Cena teamed up with Idris Elba for the action comedy Heads of State. A new project with Prime Video, the film premiered on the streaming platform on July 2. Ahead of the film's release,Heads of State debuted with an unfortunate score on Rotten Tomatoes, only 50%, per MovieWeb, but it has since improved and finally got a fresh score.

Since 2023, Cena has had a disastrous Rotten Tomatoes trend. Since Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem, which had stunning reviews, 95% from the critics and 90% from the audience with the two coveted badges, Verified Hot and Certified Fresh, Cena had only negative scores from the critics.

“The Running Man” is dashing into theaters soon.

The Edgar Wright-directed adaptation of the Stephen King novel, which stars Glen Powell as a man who becomes embroiled in a killer game show, is headed to theaters on Nov. 7. And we’ve got the very first trailer, which you can watch below.

In the film Powell plays Ben Richards, a contestant on “The Running Man,” a show that sees contestants hunted for sport. Colman Domingo plays the host of the show, while Katy O’Brian and Daniel Ezra play other contestants on the show. Josh Brolin is the show’s producer and Jayme Lawson is Ben’s wife Sheila. The cast also includes Lee Pace, Michael Cera, William H. Macy and Sean Hayes.

It looks, of course, absolutely bonkers, with all the energy and excitement you associate with Wright, whose credits include “Shaun of the Dead” and “Baby Driver,” with all...

This weekend sees the release of F1, a movie which reunites some of the important creatives before Top Gun: Maverick, notably director Joseph Kosinski and producer Jerry Bruckheimer. Starring Brad Pitt, it feels very much like a Tom Cruise movie, minus Tom Cruise, but the superstar has been outspoken in his support of the project. In fact, he took to his Instagram today to pen a tribute to both F1 and his own attempt at racing epic, Days of Thunder, which turns thirty-five this week.

1990’s Days of Thunder was the end of an era for Tom Cruise. It would be the last movie he’d make as part of his “youth” phase, which began with Risky Business. At the time, he was best known as the cocky young hot shot, but when this movie underperformed at the box office,...

Peter Dinklage. Kevin Bacon. Elijah Wood. Director Macon Blair has assembled one hell of a cast for The Toxic Avenger, a fresh new take on the Troma cult classic that’s coming to theaters fully Unrated and Uncensored on August 29 from Bloody Disgusting & Cineverse.

We unleashed the official trailer for The Toxic Avenger last week and it has thus far received 15+ million views across social media and YouTube, at least one of which comes courtesy of Elijah Wood himself! In fact, Wood even filmed his own reaction video to the Red Band trailer.

Watch Elijah Wood live-react to The Toxic Avenger Red Band trailer below!

“Show the fuck up,” Wood giggles in reaction to the final moments of the trailer. “I love that that’s the campaign. Show the fuck up. That’s incredible. That trailer is Great.”

We hear there’s another superhero movie coming out this Summer. But...

Exclusive: It was 50 years ago that Jerry Bruckheimer got his first full credit as producer, after switching from Madison Avenue to make movies. Billions in ticket-sale grosses from the biggest franchises the business has seen followed his move, establishing him as really the only brand-name producer whose name is featured in ad spots. And he will be the first one to say it’s all an exercise in problem solving.

On F1, star Brad Pitt illustrated a major creative dilemma when he introduced the film at its Radio City Music Hall premiere. As big a star as Pitt is, with his Oscar from Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, how would it be made believable that his 60-year-old butt should be behind the wheel in a Formula One championship race? After all, the film’s North Star, champion driver Lewis Hamilton, was 36 the last time he steered his car to the winner’s circle,...

Imagine, if you will, a world where Seth Rogen — an actor and writer known for everything from "Freaks & Geeks" to "Superbad" and "Knocked Up" — appeared in "Gigli," the 2003 movie that may or may not have fractured stars Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez's relationship for the first time. Apparently, that kind of almost happened, and Rogen claims that his audition is so deeply offensive that if anyone ever found the tape, he'd be ruined forever.

At this point, I'd like to put forth the idea that Rogen has accrued enough cultural goodwill by just being a seemingly good dude — look no further than his continued and passionate support for Alzheimer's research and care provided by the government, as just one example — but he's probably right that this video should never see the light of day. See, the role that Rogen auditioned for is Brian, a mentally challenged young man...

Seth Rogen recently quipped on “Jimmy Kimmel Live” that he might lose his acting career if his early aughts audition for Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez’s “Gigli” was ever to be made public. “The Studio” star and creator was asked by Kimmel if he still has to audition for parts, which prompted Rogen to walk down bad memory lane.

“It has been a long time,” Rogen said. “And thank god it was mostly physical VHS tapes and stuff like that that was being used when I was auditioning for things, because the things I auditioned for, in retrospect, if they were out there in the world, they would end my career very, very fast, I believe.”

Rogen “auditioned for this boy with a cognitive disability” in “Gigli,” a role that would ultimately go to Justin Bartha. “And I don’t think the script was written in what, by today’s standards,...

Even the biggest, most successful actors in Hollywood have auditions they’re ashamed of — and for Seth Rogen, that audition happened for the movie “Gigli.” “The Studio” creator and star reflected on his regrettable tape while stopping by “Jimmy Kimmel Live!”

“Thank god it was physical VHS tapes and stuff like that that was being used when I was auditioning for things because the things I auditioned for, in retrospect, if they were out there in the world, would end my career very, very fast,” Rogen said on Thursday night. When pressed for an example of a regrettable audition, the comedy star brought up the movie “Gigli.”

Directed by Martin Brest, “Gigli” follows two mobsters played by Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez who are tasked with kidnapping the younger brother of a powerful federal prosecutor. Only there was a catch.

“In ‘Gigli,’ they’re assassins who are sent to watch...

The Unrated event of the summer is headed our way on August 29 with the release of Bloody Disgusting, Cineverse and director Macon Blair’s The Toxic Avenger, a brand new reboot of the Troma cult classic that You demanded in all its Unrated glory on the big screen!

Ahead of the nationwide theatrical release of The Toxic Avenger, fully Uncut and Unrated in all locations, IGN has debuted the official Red Band trailer today. Watch it below.

The Toxic Avenger is fully Unrated for everything from ultra violence to toxic content, mutant nudity, splatter and piss play. Not a single moment has been trimmed out of the film for its big screen release, and we’re hoping you’ll show the fuck up and support it on August 29!

We hear there’s another superhero movie coming out this Summer. But this Avenger is the hero we really need now. Primetime...

It’s the Summer of Toxie and the wait is almost over for Macon Blair’s The Toxic Avenger reboot, which is bringing Unrated mayhem to theaters on August 29, 2025.

A fresh take on Troma’s cult classic, The Toxic Avenger will be released in theaters fully Uncut and Unrated, and the film’s upcoming UK premiere has been announced today.

The Toxic Avenger will make its UK premiere at the Edinburgh Film Festival this August, Deadline reports, as the closing night film of the festival’s Midnight Madness strand.

This year’s Edinburgh Film Festival runs from August 14 – August 20, 2025. Signature Entertainment will release The Toxic Avenger in the UK and Ireland beginning August 29.

Festival Director Paul Ridd said in a statement, “We are absolutely over the moon to be hosting the UK Premiere of The Toxic Avenger, which will bring our Midnight Madness strand this year to an extravagantly gory and hilarious close.

The Pickup stars Eddie Murphy and another former Saturday Night Live cast member as wisecracking “mismatched armored truck drivers” who are attacked by a gang of “ruthless criminals” and forced to rob a casino. And apparently, it’s coming out this year, and not in, like, 1997.

Co-starring Pete Davidson and Keke Palmer, The Pickup looks like the kind of buddy action comedy that Hollywood used to churn out with some regularity. Promisingly, it was directed by Tim Story, who also made Barbershop, Ride Along and the underrated meta-horror comedy The Blackening. But it’s also a return of sorts for Murphy.

Murphy, of course, launched his movie career by starring in one of the most famous buddy action flicks of all-time: Walter Hill’s 48 Hours. The 1982 blockbuster starred Murphy as a slick criminal forced to partner with a surly, drunken cop played by Nick Nolte, who has seemingly stayed...

43 years ago, the runaway box office success of "48 Hrs.," in which Nick Nolte and Eddie Murphy bickered and brawled as they attempted to track down a couple of vicious escaped convicts, turned the buddy-cop subgenre into a formula goldmine. Before the 1980s drew to a close, films like "Running Scared," "Beverly Hills Cop," "Lethal Weapon," and "Red Heat" were able to work profitable variations on this very simple dynamic. Even though cops have never been more difficult to root for, the subgenre, as evidenced by the 2024 success of "Beverly Hills Cop: Axel Foley," is still commercially appealing today.

While movies like "48 Hrs." and "Lethal Weapon" were powered by tightly constructed screenplays, the vast majority of buddy cop films got by on comedic anarchy. They actually had more in common with Richard Rush's gloriously shaggy "Freebie and the Bean" from 1974; two partners exchange profane repartee for a couple...

The film business is rife with tantalizing what-ifs. What if James Cameron had made "Spider-Man?" What if CBS hadn't exercised its "Magnum P.I." contract option on Tom Selleck and allowed Steven Spielberg to get his first choice for the role of Indiana Jones in "Raiders of the Lost Ark?" What if Sylvester Stallone had played Axel Foley in "Beverly Hills Cop?"

We've no idea if these alternate timeline possibilities would've worked out better than what we got, but it's fun to think about what might've been. These questions also remind us just how volatile studio projects can be. There's a huge element of luck that goes into every creative endeavor. You might think you've got a great director, a can't-miss script, and a murderer's row of a cast, but then you go and shoot the movie and you wind up with "Hook." There are no guarantees.

No one knows this better than Clint Eastwood.

Funnyman Eddie Murphy has been appearing in feature films since the early 1980s, and fans will have their own favorites for what might stand out as the most memorable. The actor and comedian himself can also name which film perhaps defines his career more so than any other.

Murphy recently appeared as a guest on The Jennifer Hudson Show, where he was joined by Keke Palmer. On the show, Hudson brought up how Deadpool & Wolverine star Ryan Reynolds said Eddie Murphy should have won an Oscar for The Nutty Professor, given how he played several different characters in the comedy. Murphy went on to share how much he loves that some people don't even realize just how many different roles he had in the film, calling it his "favorite thing." He then shared how he considers The Nutty Professor to be his career-defining role.

"I think if I could...

When Gene Roddenberry created "Star Trek" in the 1960s, he savvily pitched it as "'Wagon Train' to the stars." Television Westerns like "Gunsmoke," "Bonanza," and "Rawhide" were all the rage at the time, so it was a masterstroke of broadcast salesmanship to suggest that a show about space exploration center on humankind pursuing its intergalactic manifest destiny. All of humankind. Which meant that the bridge of the Starship Enterprise would include the Asian helmsman Sulu and the Black communications officer Uhura. And a Vulcan named Spock.

This inclusiveness allowed the three-season run of "Star Trek" to palpably connect with viewers of various ethnic backgrounds. It was a show for everyone at a time when every person on the planet could suddenly look to the stars and say, "I might get there in my lifetime." The series inspired people to learn, to empathize, and to treat artificial intelligence with contempt.
