Zarrar Kahn, whose debut feature “In Flames” premiered at Cannes and later played Toronto, is returning to the festival’s Short Cuts strand with romantic comedy “The Lion Does Not Concern Himself.” A trailer has been unveiled. The film follows a likeable gym coach who has convinced himself that his identity as a toxic podcaster is his only route to cultural relevance – until someone walks in as a new client and stays as a love interest. The concept originated with Mohammad Ali Hashmi, the film’s Toronto-based writer and lead actor and a frequent Kahn collaborator, who was struck by the…
We have a lot to watch this week — Ted Lasso is back on Apple TV; the first four episodes of Ryan Murphy and Bret Easton Ellis’ The Shards are streaming on Hulu; and Team Decider loves Prime Video’s Sterling Point — but we find ourselves thinking about Paramount+’s fall lineup. It was previously revealed that Season 2 of Dexter: Resurrection would drop later this year, and a new season of Sylvester Stallone’s Tulsa King should be just around the corner. We already know that MobLand Season 2 will premiere in September, but we don’t quite know when The Madison,…
Here is an incomplete list of phrases used to describe Frankie (Kristen Stewart) and/or Molly (Alia Shawkat) over the course of The Wrong Girls: Drunk dingbat. Hot-ass mess. Weird bimbos.

The Wrong Girls The Bottom Line A loving ode to the power of friendship and THC. Release date: Friday, Aug. 14 Cast: Kristen Stewart, Alia Shawkat,…

Book lovers are very loyal to their favorite page turners, and Netflix fans are just as passionate about their favorite shows.

Recently, Netflix rolled out something new: Watch…
Sally Field could do something truly remarkable this year: win an Emmy Award for starring in a TV movie. The feat hasn’t been accomplished in 13 years, when Michael Douglas triumphed for playing legendary Las Vegas entertainer Liberace in 2013’s Behind the Candelabra. The year before, Julianne Moore prevailed for playing Gov. Sarah Palin in Game Change. (We’re not counting Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman’s dual wins for Sherlock: His Last Vow in 2014, as that was the show’s Season 3 finale and was simply classified as a TV movie for awards purposes.) In the decade-plus since Douglas and Moore,…

On a balmy July Saturday in Southern California, deep in the air-conditioned bowels of the San Diego Convention Center, Dave Green watched his own unreleased movie for the first time in three years. Despite the very long gap, doing so took some convincing. His film, Coyote vs. Acme, had been in development at Warner Bros. for years, only for the studio to shelve it as a tax write-off in 2023 after production completed. Following fan outcry, Warners then decided to explore offers to sell it, only to — after rejecting various bids — seemingly take it off the market. A…
