'The Brutalist'
Still haven't see the best movie of last year? Now's the time to finally fix that. Director Brady Corbet's Oscar-nominated historical epic doesn't lose any of its splendor on your TV. A Hungarian-Jewish architect (Adrien Brody) finds a job in postwar America, brings his wife (Felicity Jones) over from Europe, and weathers his own ego and vices in an unforgettable exploration of the immigrant experience and a toxic American dream.
Where to watch: Max
'Fear Street: Prom Queen'
The latest slasher movie based on R.L. Stine's "Fear Street" books doesn't have the imagination or innovation of the 2021 trilogy, but it does work as a retro fest with some talented new faces. On prom night 1988, the queen candidates of Shadyside High start dropping like flies thanks to a masked killer, though the best drama is between underdog Lori (India Fowler) and her mean-girl neighbor Tiffany (Fina Strazza).
Where to watch: Netflix
'Fountain of Youth'
While Guy Ritchie's adventure borrows liberally from "Indiana Jones" and "National Treasure," it tweaks the globe-trotting formula with two A-list heroes instead of one. Natalie Portman and John Krasinski play estranged siblings brought back together to find the mythical Fountain of Youth using art masterpieces and religious artifacts, with cops and a mysterious Vatican-approved protector (Eiza González) trying to foil their efforts.
Where to watch: Apple TV+
'Hard Truths'
Mike Leigh's dramedy is worth streaming just for English actress Marianne Jean-Baptiste's stellar performance as a thorny woman with a litany of issues. Pansy (Jean-Baptiste) lays into everyone with angry vigor, be it store workers or her own husband and son. But the whys behind her outbursts reveal themselves as Pansy faces her emotions and her cheerier sister (Michele Austin), who urges Pansy to visit their mom's grave.
Where to watch: Paramount+
'I'm Still Here'
Based on a true story, Walter Salles' intense Oscar-nominated family drama is set in Brazil during the politically unstable 1970s. A former congressman (Selton Mello) working as a civil engineer and living an idyllic life by the beach is taken by military forces and disappears. His wife (Fernanda Torres) begins the long process of finding out what happened to him while also fighting to keep their family together and figuring out a new life for herself.
Where to watch: Netflix
'The Last Showgirl'
In director Gia Coppola's introspective ensemble drama, Pamela Anderson has her meatiest role ever as the feather-clad 30-year veteran of a legendary Las Vegas show who's forced to figure out the next chapter of her life. Anderson proves worthy of some knockout emotional moments, Jamie Lee Curtis shines as a feisty cocktail waitress, and Dave Bautista steals scenes as the show's pensive stage manager.
Where to watch: Hulu
'Mickey 17'
Oscar-winning director Bong Joon Ho ("Parasite") has another thought-provoking satire, with some 'Monty Python'-style silliness, in this dark sci-fi comedy starring Robert Pattinson as a hapless space worker who keeps getting killed and printed out again like a sheet of paper. Pattinson lets loose with the physical humor as multiple Mickeys have to save the day in a tale of empathy over cruelty.
Where to watch: Max
'Novocaine'
Jack Quaid stars in the action comedy as Nate Caine, who because of a genetic condition feels no pain. After his first date with a crush-worthy co-worker (Amber Midthunder), she's taken hostage in a robbery, and Nate goes into hero mode risking life and limb – and getting stabbed, burned and more – to rescue her. Quaid makes the most of his first lead action role in a playfully gory romp that also features a nifty villain turn from Ray Nicholson.
Where to watch: Paramount+
'Paddington in Peru'
In the third outing in this sweetly goofy series, the adorable Paddington (voiced by Ben Whishaw) has just become an official British citizen when he gets word that his beloved Aunt Lucy is ailing in Peru. The bear and his human family head to South America to visit, discover Lucy has gone missing and go to find her, running into a shady singing nun (Olivia Colman) and a suave boat captain (Antonio Banderas) obsessed with finding El Dorado.
Where to watch: Netflix
'Pee-wee as Himself'
The fascinating two-part documentary is a must-see for 1980s kids who grew up watching Pee-wee Herman. But here it's Paul Reubens, the comedian behind the pop-culture icon, who finally has his voice heard. Reubens, who died in 2023, is affable but prickly as he navigates topics with humor and honesty, from why he was a closeted gay man to the emotional consequences of his later legal troubles and being labeled a pedophile.

Justin Bieber impersonator dupes Las Vegas nightclub, sings on stage
The nightclub's parent company said in a statement that the impersonator orchestrated "an elaborate and multi-step ruse." Justin Bieber joined a popular DJ onstage and performed at a Las Vegas nightclub. Except that he didn't. Gryffin, a San Francisco-born DJ and music producer, was performing at the XS Nightclub inside the Wynn Las Vegas hotel on Aug. 16 when he was told that Bieber was at the venue and wanted to perform, he said in a video posted on his Instagram. "His 'team' said he wanted to perform 'Sorry,'" a text overlay on the video read. "Little did I know I was about to be sorry." The Bieber on stage with Gryffin was not the Grammy award-winning singer, but rather an impersonator. The DJ's video added that the look-alike performed on stage for several minutes and "sounded like Justin Bieber." "biebergate2025," the DJ captioned his post. Nightclub says impersonator carried out 'elaborate' dupe Wynn Las Vegas said in a statement to USA TODAY that the impersonator duped the club's staff. "After an elaborate and multi-step ruse by him and his advance team, a Justin Bieber impersonator was granted access to the XS stage," the statement reads. "As soon as the error was recognized, he was removed from the resort and denied future entry." In Gryffin's video, a man with a buzzed haircut, tattoos and sunglasses is seen performing Bieber's hit song, "Sorry." "Bieber in the house, y'all," Gryffin says into a microphone. Following the performance, the video shows Gryffin saying, "That was insane," before someone puts their arm around him and breaks the news that the singer on stage was not the real Bieber. "No way," Gryffin says, to which the individual responds, "Swear on my life." Justin Bieber impersonator denies trying to dupe club In a series of social media posts, a French Justin Bieber impersonator named Dylan Desclos confirmed that he was the onstage performer. Desclos's manager, Julien Colas, said in a written statement to USA TODAY that he went to the club as an impersonator and someone asked if he would like to perform. "We did many performance as impersonator," Colas said. "What have we to won by saying we are the real one? That's not our way to work. Cause, yes, it's a job. We don't want to hurt anyone."

‘Splitsville' Duo Michael Angelo Covino & Kyle Marvin Challenge Conventional Wisdom On Comedy's Global Reach – Comedy Means Business Podcast
As multi-hyphenates who together have premiered a pair of acclaimed indie comedies at Cannes — first The Climb in 2019, and more recently, Splitsville — Michael Angelo Covino and Kyle Marvin have a unique perspective on the old adage that comedies don't travel internationally. 'At the advent of cinema, what were the first blockbusters?' asks Covino in an appearance alongside Marvin on our Comedy Means Business podcast. 'It was like Charlie Chapman and Buster Keaton and a ton of Pre-Code stuff where everyone was naked. But for the most part, it was slapstick. It was silent films where people were falling down or crashing into things or a hose was spraying them in the face, and that is universal and goes worldwide.' More from Deadline From Touring With Vampire Weekend To Helming Tribeca Prize-Winner 'On A String': Isabel Hagen On Forging A Unique Career Synthesizing Music & Comedy – Comedy Means Business Podcast Leanne Morgan & Chuck Lorre Defy Decline Of The Stand-Up-Driven Sitcom With Netflix's 'Leanne' – Comedy Means Business Podcast Joe List & Manager Chris Burns Talk Building Direct-To-Consumer Career & Going Theatrical With 'Small Ball' Special - Comedy Means Business Podcast In the case of 'very specific, topical comedy that is of a place and speaking to zeitgeist only, then sure,' Covino can see a case being made that a comedy might not translate. 'But universal comedy, I think, translates better than any other genre.' Covino and Marvin's films together jointly embody an interest in absurdist comedy elevated by sharp writing and dynamic visuals, which focuses on relationships. While The Climb focuses on a revelation emerging from a long-distance bike ride and the strain that it puts on the relationship between two friends, Splitsville tells the story of two evolving marriages, and another revelation that complicates the relationship between those two couples. When Ashley (Adria Arjona) tells Carey (Marvin), abruptly during a road trip, that she's been repeatedly unfaithful and wants a divorce, Carey turns for solace to married friends Paul (Covino) and Julie (Dakota Johnson), learning that the key to their personal happiness has been to open up their relationship. In a last-ditch attempt to salvage his marriage, Carey pitches Ashley on a similar situation, and chaos ensues. Covino tells me on the podcast that a driving force behind his films with Marvin has been an interest in 'strong point of view' — stories embodying a unique juxtaposition between 'grounded emotions and characters' and 'absurd…and farcical situations.' From Marvin's perspective, the film also highlights their very simple goal of making sure that 'people are entertained' if they take the time to check out their work, in a moment where there are seemingly unlimited options, as far as what people can be consuming or doing with their time. 'I think for us, that means not holding back,' Marvin explains. 'If you can make everything interesting and compelling and believable, why would you hold back on the scenarios or situations that are fun to watch or have things going on that put pressure on character? I think we talk a lot about that entertainment value — what the experience of viewing the movie is going to be, and how we make that experience as fun as possible.' A joke a minute, with some really memorable visual gags, Splitsville is certainly that. It's a film with no clear comp, which while complicating conversations around marketing, affirms to Covino that he and Marvin hit on something good. In their appearance on our podcast, Covino and Marvin discuss the process of creating indie comedies unlike any you'll find elsewhere — one that was helped along, in this case, by Adam Newport-Berra, the cinematographer on the rise who's coming off his first Emmy nomination for his work on The Studio. The pair also discuss test screenings, the idea of cultivating 'future nostalgia' through the theatrical release, their desire to tackle a Christmas movie, and more. Covino directed Splitsville from his script written with Marvin, with the pair also producing. Neon releases the film in limited theaters on August 22 and will go wide with it on September 5.

Jillian Michaels goes nuclear on Bob Harper and Netflix's Biggest Loser docuseries: ‘This is false'
Jillian Michaels has broken her silence on Netflix's Fit for TV: The Reality of the Biggest Loser, refuting claims made in the new docuseries, and is reportedly planning legal action. Michaels, 51, alongside Bob Harper, 60, was one of the personal trainers on the NBC reality show, which aired from 2004 to 2016, following obese people as they attempted to lose weight as quickly as possible using only diet and exercise for a $250,000 cash prize. Michaels, especially, was known for her ruthless attitude towards contestants during workouts, which is put under scrutiny in Netflix's documentary featuring interviews from past contestants. While Harper was involved and interviewed as part of the series, Michaels declined. In the documentary, Michaels's 2013 controversy, when producers accused her of breaking the rules by giving her team caffeine pills without a doctor's permission, is revisited. Elsewhere, Harper tells the cameras that Michaels never reached out to him after he suffered a massive, near-fatal heart attack in 2017. On Tuesday, Michaels turned to Instagram to share alleged email and text chains between herself, The Biggest Loser producers, and Harper. 'This is one email of many that shows: Dr. Huizenga did approve caffeine pills on many seasons of Biggest Loser, Bob Harper not only knew about the caffeine pills the 'stackers fat burner' were actually his suggestion. I wanted to use my brand instead because they were cleaner and had no more than 200mg of caffeine (equivalent to a strong cup of coffee). Caffeine was NEVER banned on The Biggest Loser.' 'Wild how some folks still lie like it's 1985 before texts and email were a thing,' she added. Michaels concluded her post, writing: 'And, the last image is my second to last text ever to Bob Harper. Take from it what you will.' The text shows Michaels's alleged text to Harper, timestamped June 15, 2014. 'I really think it's s****y of you to not even respond to my texts. It's this kind of thing that always makes me so disappointed [in] our relationship,' Michaels reportedly sent to Harper. In a recent interview with The Guardian, Harper acknowledged that he and Michaels 'weren't besties, but we were partners on a television show for a very long time.' He said that her silence 'spoke volumes to me,' adding, 'I would not expect Jillian Michaels to do anything other than what she wants to do.' In a second post, Michaels addressed a claim in the documentary that she told a contestant during a Biggest Loser season finale: 'You're going to make me a millionaire.' 'I want to state unequivocally that this is false,' she wrote on Instagram. 'The full moment was captured on camera, and both the contestant and I were wearing microphones. If such a comment had been made, it would exist on the audio record.' Michaels reportedly told TMZ that she would be speaking to attorney Bryan Freedman — who is currently representing Justin Baldoni in his legal matter with Blake Lively. The publication reports that the trainer is weighing up legal action against Netflix, the producer of the documentary, Harper, and The Biggest Loser's medical advisor, Dr. Robert Huizenga. The Independent has contacted representatives for Michaels, Harper, and Netflix for comment. Fit for TV: The Reality of the Biggest Loser is available to watch on Netflix.
