Tonight on Comic Stripped we head to Antarctica to compare Greg Rucka and Steve Lieber’s acclaimed indie noir graphic novel Whiteout with the 2009 film adaptation starring Kate Beckinsale. Originally published by Oni Press, Whiteout helped define the late-90s crime-comic boom with its blend of procedural mystery, environmental horror, and psychological isolation. But when Warner Bros. brought the...

Tonight on TV Party Tonight, Jesse and Mark revisit Season One of HBO’s The Newsroom, Aaron Sorkin’s cable news drama that premiered June 24, 2012. Starring Jeff Daniels as anchor Will McAvoy, the series follows the staff of fictional network ACN as they attempt to produce serious journalism inside a system driven by ratings, corporate pressure, and personal dysfunction. Featuring Emily Mortimer,...

Three very different 2026 releases, one shared question: what does modern genre filmmaking actually produce anymore? Amazon’s The Bluff, directed by Frank E. Flowers and produced by the Russo Brothers, was built as a global star vehicle for Priyanka Chopra—an efficient pirate revenge story designed for streaming scale. Netflix countered with War Machine, Patrick Hughes’ $80M military sci-fi specta...

Three takes on lava-driven disaster, each reflecting its moment in Hollywood. In 1997, Dante’s Peak (directed by Roger Donaldson, starring Pierce Brosnan and Linda Hamilton) leaned on scientific realism and modest character drama, earning solid box office returns and a reputation as the more grounded of the twin volcano films. That same year, Volcano (Mick Jackson, with Tommy Lee Jones and Anne He...

Apex (2026) is a survival action thriller directed by Baltasar Kormákur and written by Jeremy Robbins, starring Charlize Theron, Taron Egerton, and Eric Bana. Released on Netflix on April 24, 2026, the film follows a rock climber pushed to her limits in the wilderness—only to find herself hunted by a man who turns survival into sport. What begins as isolation and endurance quickly becomes a brutal...

For this edition of Sessions, we’re taking one of the most honest conversations we’ve ever had on the Radulich in Broadcasting Network and turning it into something heavier, louder, and harder to ignore. Coming out of our discussion on The Boys Season 3, what started as a breakdown of superheroes and spectacle quickly became something else entirely—a raw examination of masculinity, responsibility,...

There's no Brendan Fraser or Boris Karloff, just a sarcophagus and some pure unstoppable terror from the director of 'Evil Dead Rise'. Alexis Hejna from Honeysuckle Rose Creations joins Robert Winfree to take a look at what will surely go down as one of the most intense horror films of 2026. Disclaimer: The following may contain offensive language, adult humor, and/or content that some viewers may...

Tonight on The IndySiders we’re talking WrestleMania 42: two nights in Vegas that felt like two entirely different shows stitched together. Night 1 leans into overproduction—ads everywhere, celebrity spots, short matches, and finishes that feel more like content than competition—while Night 2 pivots back toward actual wrestling, letting matches breathe with clearer stakes and stronger pacing. The...

Irreversible, Baise-moi, and Trouble Every Day dives into the New French Extremity—films that reject comfort and weaponize the body. Gaspar Noé’s Irreversible (2002), starring Monica Bellucci and Vincent Cassel, uses reverse chronology, long takes, and disorienting camerawork to turn violence into an inescapable experience; its Cannes premiere sparked walkouts and lasting debate over form and ethi...

Happy! is a black comedy action series based on Grant Morrison and Darick Robertson’s four-issue graphic novel, with Brian Taylor directing most of its early run. It premiered on Syfy in December 2017 to strong reviews (81% on Rotten Tomatoes, 65 on Metacritic) and paired Christopher Meloni’s self-destructive hitman Nick Sax with Patton Oswalt’s relentlessly optimistic imaginary unicorn. Season 1...

In the Blink of an Eye (2026), directed by Andrew Stanton and written by Colby Day, is a science fiction drama starring Kate McKinnon, Rashida Jones, and Daveed Diggs. Premiering at Sundance on January 26, 2026—where it won the Alfred P. Sloan Prize—it was released on Hulu February 27. The film weaves three timelines: a prehistoric family 47,000 years ago, a present-day scientist, and a future spa...

Megadeth exists because Dave Mustaine got fired from Metallica in 1983 and spent forty years proving a point. Faster, more technical, more aggressive, the early run—Killing Is My Business, Peace Sells, Rust in Peace—defined precision thrash and political edge. The band moves in cycles: Countdown and Youthanasia bring mainstream success, Risk abandons identity and fails, the 2000s reset with System...

Bulworth is a 1998 American political satire black comedy film co-written, co-produced, directed by, and starring Warren Beatty. It co-stars Halle Berry, Oliver Platt, Don Cheadle, Paul Sorvino, Jack Warden, and Isaiah Washington.

Produced by Illumination and Nintendo, the...

Tonight we examine a Kevin Kline Performance Trilogy—The Pirates of Penzance (1983), De-Lovely (2004), and A Prairie Home Companion (2006)—three films that showcase his command of musicality, wit, and character across eras. Pirates, adapted from the New York Shakespeare Festival production, was directed by Wilford Leach and preserves Gilbert & Sullivan’s operetta for film, with Kline’s Pirate...

Ready or Not 2: Here I Come is a 2026 American comedy horror film directed by Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett, and written by Guy Busick and R. Christopher Murphy. It serves as a direct sequel to Ready or Not (2019), with Samara Weaving reprising her role as Grace MacCaullay. The film also stars Kathryn Newton, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Shawn Hatosy, David Cronenberg, and Elijah Wood. Set imm...

Road to Perdition began as Max Allan Collins’ stark, Depression-era graphic novel—a crime saga rooted in pulp, myth, and the cyclical nature of violence between fathers and sons. In 2002, Sam Mendes reinterpreted that material into a prestige film, stripping away some of the broader mob mythology to focus on mood, visual storytelling, and emotional inheritance, with Tom Hanks recasting Michael Sul...

Tonight we’re examining late-90s American cinema through a single corrosive lens—power as pathology—using Swimming with Sharks (1994), Suicide Kings (1997), and American Psycho (2000). George Huang’s indie Hollywood satire, born from his own assistant experience, pairs Kevin Spacey and Frank Whaley in a low-budget Sundance breakout that exposed abuse as industry currency. Peter O’Fallon’s Suicide...

Day and night to our delight The voyage never ends!

It stars Ryan Gosling (who also produced the film), Sandra Hüller, James Ortiz, and Lionel Boyce. The film follows the story of Ryland Grace, a man who awakens on an interstellar spacecraft with no memory o...

Before he was a brand, Rob Zombie came up through White Zombie, where albums like La Sexorcisto (1992) and Astro-Creep: 2000 (1995) balanced groove, structure, and horror aesthetics into actual songs. That discipline carried into Hellbilly Deluxe (1998), but as the solo run continued—The Sinister Urge (2001), Educated Horses (2006), Hellbilly Deluxe 2 (2010), Venomous Rat Regeneration Vendor (2013...

On this episode of Sessions, we take our Planet Hulk discussion and push it through the machine—turning a long-form comic breakdown into a tight, synth-driven song. We strip the story down to its core: a monster exiled by people who feared him, only to become something bigger, louder, and impossible to ignore. Along the way, we pull from our own takes—the irony of the Illuminati’s failure, the wre...
