YES, we should go outside and enjoy the short season but let’s be honest, it’s still too hot, muggy and buggy.

But for (a little) more substance we give you the return of this biweekly handful of best-guess TV recommendations: ● Demographics-wise, if you’re reading this you are probably not on the verge of high school. But the secret wielded by us olds is that youth is relative and more vivid the older we get. So all of us can relate to four middle-school graduates arriving to Day 1 of high school, filled with dreams of life about to start.
And then: “She’s a sophomore, man! It’s never going to happen!” Never mind our delight that kids (in this film, at least) are still saying “man.” The approach of fall still carries the thrill of a fresh start, so bring on this goofy-looking coming-of-age story centred on four dweebs’ first high school party. Cue vomit, sucker punches to the nether regions and the rest of the usual arsenal.
And hello to the unlikeliest of supportive moms, played by Kaitlin Olson of and the science teacher (Bobby Cannavale) we all wanted but are probably better off having avoided. ● Our crime-solving trio is back! Only now they’re a sextuple, thanks to Hollywood’s plan to make a movie about their podcast. Enter Zach Galifianakis, Eva Longoria and Eugene Levy as doubles for Oliver (Martin Short), Mabel (Selena Gomez) and Charles (Steve Martin), respectively.
Crammed in between an aggressive slate of cameos — the returns of Meryl Streep and DaVine Joy Randolph alongside Molly Shannon, Richard Kind, Kumail Nanjiani and Melissa McCarthy — there’s also the murder to solve from the Season 3 finale. “We can help, you know,” Levy promises/threatens. Double the fun! Or half the fun? We shall see.
● Blah blah. Horror really is the greatest, isn’t it? Not so much the scorching intersections of evil intent and soft human tissue — although the 1980s delivered a giddy visual extravaganza (the Halloweens, the Elm Streets, the Cronenbergs). No, horror’s greatest power is in the thoughtful mirror it holds up to society, says this new documentary series.
Was capitalism ever better skewered than in George Romero’s , set in a mall? So in the void left by (2018-2021), this five-part look back at films, directors and trends will do nicely. Among the interview subjects are Joe Hill ( ) and Tom Holland ( ). Also, this series will include a reference to an all-time favourite, 1974’s , which made our city famous for the four full months and nearly two years off and on when Winnipeggers paid (again and again) to see it in cinemas.
The horror-rock opera by Brian De Palma still enjoys with Phantompalooza screenings, as well as two 50th anniversary screenings at the Burt on Nov. 2. See you there! ● It’s been six years since Sandler’s last comedy special, 2018’s on Netflix, during which time he’s released a slew of movies for Netflix, from the very cute family flick to the slow, sad and grim drama .
Speaking of the latter, this new special reunites him with the latter film’s director, Josh Safdie, making his comedy special debut. Just how did that partnership play out in this special recorded in Glendale, Calif.? In the unexpectedly musical trailer, Sandler declares, “We’ve lost control.
” At the very least, it’s a good place holder while many of us await the , also coming to Netflix (date tba). Monday mornings The latest local business news and a lookahead to the coming week. ● “Humans, when they’re not scared, they’re not worshipping me,” muses Jeff Goldblum as Zeus in this contemporary take on Greek mythology.
Or the current Republican presidential campaign? This onscreen god favours fire and wife Hera ( ’s Janet McTeer) dutifully applauds. But Zeus suspects disloyalty in his subjects and even in his family and so be on the lookout for thunderbolts and the like. The power couple of Goldblum and McTeer is the draw here.
Coming seven years after the adaptation of Neil Gaiman’s , starring Ian McShane, this look at power and freedom looks more lush — and funnier. Also, it is studded with impressive actors, including Cliff Curtis ( ), Killian Scott ( ), Nabhaan Rizwan ( ), Stephen Dillane ( ) and the great Debi Mazur ( ). Who among them is destined to bring Zeus to his knees? You lot with your well-read knowledge of Greek mythology, please try not to spoil it for the rest of us laggards.
