In John Carpenter’s horror classic The Thing, R.J. MacReady (Kurt Russell) somberly explains to his tape recorder, “Nobody trusts anybody now, and we’re all very tired.” The now iconic quote summarizes the exhaustive state of sustained paranoia induced by the shape-shifting, extraterrestrial threat that has infiltrated the ranks of an isolated Antarctic research station, seamlessly assuming the identities of its inhabitants.
Isolation, mistrust, and intense paranoia drive Carpenter’s classic 1982 horror movie, heightening the effectiveness of the horror to a tangible degree; and it’s far from the only horror movie to effectively wield paranoia like a sharp blade. This week’s streaming picks highlight intense horror movies that unfurl their unrelenting tension, disorienting distrust, and discomfort through a heavy emphasis on paranoia, whether internal or external.

The Screen Actors Guild Award race for best comedy actor may seem like an easy decision for Jeremy Allen White, who seems to be an unstoppable force, sweeping all the award shows for the debut season of “The Bear,” and already winning the Golden Globe and Critics Choice Award for the second installment. While the FX series has been dominating the television categories, White faces an obstacle at the SAG Awards that could pave the way for another actor from a different series, namely Bill Hader for the final season of “Barry.”
Looking at the current makeup for best comedy actor, it follows a trend that has been current over the last few years. In three out of the last five years, the lineup of five has consisted of two shows with two actors each and one sole nominee. Two of the three winners went to the sole nominee, perhaps...

If you haven’t yet seen Ebon Moss-Bachrach in all his on-screen glory, you may have at least heard people define The Bear‘s season 2, episode 7, ‘Forks,’ as one of the best things to have graced the screen in television history.
That’s why, amid an array of ‘Cousin’ jokes, there’s a legitimate reason why the Emmy-winning sensation casting as Ben Grimm/The Thing has taken the internet by storm. Marvel Studios’ recent unveiling of the faces slated to portray the beloved superhero quartet in The Fantastic Four has led many to explain why the 46-year-old actor’s selection for this particular role makes ample sense.
And it has something to do with a similarity Moss-Bachrach’s upcoming superhero stint may find with his character Richie’s arc in Christopher Storer’s uber-acclaimed comedy-drama series.

Looks like June and Serena are going to be on that train for a long time: The Handmaid’s Tale‘s upcoming Season 6, its final run, won’t premiere on Hulu until 2025.

In a federal bankruptcy court in Manhattan, former New York City mayor and one-time attorney to Donald Trump, Rudy Giuliani, revealed his dire financial situation and cited approximately $2 million in unpaid legal fees owed to him by the former president’s campaign and the Republican National Committee.
Giuliani’s testimony, delivered on Wednesday, shed light on his strained financial state, which was exacerbated by a $148 million defamation judgment against him for disseminating false information about the 2020 presidential election.
Giuliani’s bankruptcy filing, under Chapter 11, has left him near financial ruin. “I wouldn’t be bankrupt, up until that,” he lamented during his court appearance.
Despite the increase in his financial challenges, Giuliani has refrained from holding Trump accountable for the outstanding legal fees he claims are owed to him.
Giuliani says that Trump requested that he “take over” the campaign’s legal staff in November 2020, as Trump-aligned attorneys launched an...

“The Bear” will return for its third season in June.
The news was announced by FX chairman John Landgraf during the network’s presentation at the Television Critics Association’s winter 2024 press tour. Landgraf had little detail to share about the season, however — when asked if he could share whether the show would bring in as many high profile guest stars as it did in Season 2, he joked, “Unfortunately, I can’t. I was surprised as you were when the Christmas episode came through the door.”
Landgraf did, however, speak on release strategy for the show, saying he had “no doubt” that Hulu will continue to release all episodes on one day rather than week-to-week. “It wasn’t lost on me or anyone who worked on the show that it was anxiety-inducing,” he said. “So we made a decision to drop the whole thing because it has a beautiful, uplifting ending.

A Kansas City nu-metal band named Dirty Machine has unveiled a music video for their song “Ego Killer” featuring a Taylor Swift impersonator — just in time for the Super Bowl.
Frontman and Kansas City Chiefs fan David Leach told Fox Sports that the backlash against both the football team and tight end Travis Kelce’s relationship with Swift inspired the song and music video.
“I could see it [early on in the season], the team was going to come back, prove everyone wrong, and you were going to have Taylor Swift doing her thing and rocking up at the Super Bowl,” said Leach.
He added, “The Chiefs are the villains now; everyone is against us. We are in our Darth Vader stage, they hate us. Having Taylor Swift involved and be part of this great story just makes the haters even angrier. Our song ‘Ego Killer,’ that’s us talking to the football world and all the doubters.

Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani declared in a federal bankruptcy court filing that his net income is only $2,308 per month after spending $43,797 monthly in expenses.
On February 2, Giuliani’s documents were submitted to the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York.
In the filings, the former mayor’s assets are valued at over $10.6 million, including a $5.6 million condominium in New York City and a $3.5 million penthouse in Palm Beach, Florida.
His creditors’ attorney, Philip C. Dublin, asserted relevant transfers had not been disclosed.
Giuliani wants the court to modify the $148 million judgment against him in the defamation lawsuit in December due to his bankruptcy.
Dublin argued that Giuliani had made “significant” overstatements and understatements regarding the worth of his assets.
His expenses include $13,500 in court-ordered payments to his mother-in-law and $5,000 in alimony.
Giuliani listed his transportation expenses as $1,600 and groceries, household items, laundry and personal care products expenses as $1,975 a month.

At the outset of Girls State, it seems as if filmmakers Amanda McBaine and Jesse Moss have deliberately set out to make a direct sequel to their 2020 documentary Boys State. Like any follow-up, they take the same general playbook and add in some wrinkles so the experience doesn’t feel like a rerun. Rather than following a group of rambunctious, ambitious teenage boys for a week in the mock government conference, this one’s for the girls.
Unlike their previous film’s larger-than-life Texan stomping grounds, which practically supplies its own mythology, the value of the setting here is subtler. McBaine and Moss selected a 2022 Girls State conference in Missouri for their project, which is notable primarily for being the state’s first instance of hosting events for both sexes simultaneously on the same campus. Try as they might to keep their documentary a self-sufficient microcosm of political anxieties and...

Elisabeth Moss is going to be a mom.
The Emmy winning star of Hulu’s The Handmaid’s Tale confirmed paparazzi-fueled speculation during an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live! on Tuesday by revealing that she is, in fact, expecting a child. The 41-year-old actress appeared visibly pregnant as she walked out from the side of the stage to take a seat next to Kimmel, who cut right to the chase. “Are you pregnant or just an incredibly committed method actor?” Kimmel asked, to which she replied, “A little bit of both.”
The baby talk proved to be relatively brief as Moss said that she’s “really lucky” and that her pregnancy thus far has “been going really well.” She did not name the baby’s father but did ask Kimmel for advice. The beloved host, father to four children, recalled some words of wisdom he received from Bill Murray.

Jesse Moss and Tony Gerber’s War Game documents a nifty six-hour exercise in roleplay, commencing on the anniversary of the January 6 United States Capitol attack. Put on by the Vet Voice Foundation in 2023, this bit of roleplay included U.S. officials in both defense and intelligence acting out their response to a fabricated but feasible coup attempt supported by the active military. It’s a stark, scary scenario succinctly laid out by Moss and Gerber, with aide from Janessa Goldbeck, CEO of Vet Voice. The results of the planned practice aren’t very reassuring.

A federal jury Friday awarded two Georgia election workers a total of $148 million in their defamation case against Rudy Giuliani, as they said they were subject to harassment and death threats over false claims that they were involved in rigging the state’s results in the 2020 presidential election.
The election workers, Ruby Freeman and her daughter Shaye Moss, sued Giuliani over the statements. The trial was largely to determine damages. They had previously testified before the January 6th Committee about the threats that they faced.
CNN and MSNBC went to breaking news of the huge verdict, while Fox News initially stuck with Neil Cavuto’s interview with New Hampshire Gov. Chris Sununu, who has endorsed Nikki Haley in the Republican presidential race. Cavuto went to the story once that interview wrapped up.
The verdict was well above the $48 million in damages sought by by Freeman and Moss. The jury awarded Freeman $16.2 million for defamation,...

Rudy Giuliani has been ordered to pay two Georgia election workers a total of $148 million for spreading defamatory conspiracy theories about them in the aftermath of the 2020 election. The massive judgement is the most significant legal accountability any one individual has faced for lying about election fraud.
The eight-person jury reached the decision unanimously on Friday after deliberating for two days. The jury found Giuliani owes Wandrea ArShaye “Shaye” Moss and her mother Ruby Freeman $16,998,000 and $16,171,000, respectively, for defamation; $20 million a piece for emotional distress; and $75 million total in punitive damages.

The Mission tells the story of John Chau, a missionary who in 2018 attempted to bring Christianity to the indigenous people of remote North Sentinel Island in the Bay of Bengal. The Sentinelese killed him for intruding.
Directors Jesse Moss and Amanda McBaine said they discovered that Chau’s story was as influenced by adventure stories like Robinson Crusoe and Tintin as it was the Scripture.
“John was possessed of two faiths,” Moss said at Deadline Contenders Film: Documentary. “Charting both of those faiths in our story, we discovered that the film was a reflection of our own history.”
Chau discovered missions work at Oral Roberts University. The university had safe work, but Chau soon grew hungry for riskier endeavors.

In the middle of August this year, three legends of the music industry died within 72 hours of each other: founder of A&m Records Jerry Moss; music lawyer Abe Somer; and my father, the “Black Godfather” himself, Clarence Avant. These three men helped define the recording industry of the past six decades, and what’s more, they were inseparable best friends.
Somer, Moss, and Avant met in New York City in the early 1960s, and in the six decades since, never left one another’s side, never once let their “soul contract” expire.

Has it really only been three years since Leigh Whannell's "The Invisible Man" came out? The "Saw" and "Insidious" writer's 2020 reboot was the first of its kind after Universal's infamous putting of the cart before the horse with the Dark Universe (although we did get a hilariously incomplete trailer featuring Tom Cruise screaming on a plane for our troubles). Abandoning the shared universe concept, Whannell's "Invisible Man" re-imagines its source material -- both the original 1897 H.G. Wells novel and Universal's 1933 film adaptation -- as an incredibly timely story about domestic abuse, gaslighting, and tech-powered violence. The result is a taut sci-fi horror/thriller that boasts some remarkable low-budget filmmaking (as well as one of the most shocking kills put to screen in recent memory).
Despite hitting theaters right before the global Covid-19 lockdowns, "The Invisible Man" managed to gross nearly 20 times its $7 million budget. It was exactly the...

When does a sense of adventure turn into madness? The Mission, a new documentary from Jesse Moss and Amanda McBaine, attempts to ask and answer this question in telling the tragic story of John Chau. In 2018, the young missionary was killed by arrows on North Sentinel Island, a place he traveled to illegally in an attempt to convert the inhabitants of the remote island to Christianity. Via a mixed medium aesthetic, Moss and McBaine try to understand what brought their subject to the conclusion that he needed to go to where he was not wanted and attempt to “save” these indigenous people.
Unfortunately, John Chau is the least interesting part of the film. Well-made though it is, The Mission is about too many things at once. There’s the young, Portland-born 26-year-old himself; there’s the adventures he took on the prepare for the fatal mission (there’s compelling documentation...

It’s not difficult to scorn John Chau. A 26-year-old evangelical Christian with a taste for outdoor adventure, he undertook a one-man mission in 2018 to North Sentinel Island, an extremely remote and unreached part of India, to bring the gospel of Jesus to the Sentinelese. Even if you don’t know the story, it’s clear from the start of the new National Geographic documentary The Mission that things did not go well. The film is a reminder that, from the non-missionary perspective, and even from a less reckless missionary perspective,...

John Chau’s death in 2018 made headlines around the world: an evangelical young man killed on an island in the Andaman Sea inhabited by an isolated Indigenous group. Chau came to North Sentinel Island bearing a waterproof Bible and dreams of converting the North Sentinelese to Christianity, but his ill-fated mission ended in a hail of sharpened arrows.
Five years after Chau’s fatal endeavor, National Geographic is releasing The Mission, a documentary about Chau’s life, violent death and the ethical questions raised by his attempt to Christianize a people well known for repelling attempts by outsiders to contact them. Emmy-winning directors Amanda McBaine and Jesse Moss join Deadline’s Doc Talk podcast to discuss their film, which premiered in late August at the Telluride Film Festival.
“[John Chau] was living his faith in a very radical way,” Moss tells Doc Talk. “He trained for 10 years to get to North Sentinel Island.

Troubled musicals, like troubled friendships, can often seem like defeats lying in wait, sponging up every last second of loving care, effort and good intention. So Maria Friedman’s smartly tended production of that most troubled of stage properties, the Stephen Sondheim-George Furth backwards musical Merrily We Roll Along deserves all the applause – and ticket-buying business – it’s getting at Broadway’s Hudson Theatre.
Opening tonight, the musical is drawing rapturous audience responses, no doubt in large part because of the splendid performances by three very appealing stars – Daniel Radcliffe, Jonathan Groff and Lindsay Mendez.
But even if we could, for the sake of argument, put the talents of this delightful trio singing some of Sondheim’s loveliest songs, aside for a moment, the undeniable charm of this production has to be credited to a sort of relief – the relief of knowing that, for the most part, Friedman...

Judging from talk in restaurants and on the Telluride gondola, one of the films provoking the strongest reaction at the festival this year is The Mission. The National Geographic documentary, directed by Amanda McBaine and Jesse Moss, tells the story of missionary John Chau whose shocking demise in 2018 made headlines around the world (and elicited insensitive memes).
The world premiere and subsequent screenings here have triggered debate over the ethics of Christian missionary work, particularly when it involves attempts to convert Indigenous people who have had little or no previous contact with outsiders, as was the case in Chau’s endeavor. He took it upon himself to try to bring the Gospel to the North Sentinelese, a group living on a remote island in the Andaman Sea. After initially being repelled by a warning shot from an arrow, Chau returned the next day and was felled on the beach. His body was never recovered.

Editor’s note: This review was originally published at the 2023 Telluride Film Festival. National Geographic Films releases the film in theaters on Friday, October 13.
In 2018, an Evangelical Christian man named John Chau made a covert voyage to North Sentinel Island to visit one of the last voluntarily “uncontacted” tribes on the planet. The people of the island enjoy the protection of the Indian government after choosing to eschew contact with modern society — and outsiders are prohibited due to their hostile attitude toward uninvited visitors. Nevertheless, the 26-year-old Chau ignored the advice of his family and attempted to preach his Christian beliefs to the islanders. He was killed with an arrow at the start of his second visit.
Chau’s story is the subject of “The Mission,” a new documentary from “Boys State” directors Amanda McBaine and Jesse Moss. Using Chau’s extensive diaries and a long letter from his grieving father as a starting point,...

London, June 27 (Ians) Singer Boy George’s showbiz firm Culture Club has gone bust with debts of almost $1.2 million.
The company has been ordered to shut down by the UK High Court, due to debtsowed to his former Culture Club band mate and ex-boyfriend Jon Moss, 65, according to TheSun.
The company’s assets of $4,13,911 are being taken by the liquidators to Moss back. The move from the high court has reportedly led to the singer “facing bankruptcy”.
George, 62, was also ordered to pay Moss’ legal fees. The breakdown of the relationship with his former drummer Moss reportedly turned into a bitter feud that split the band and sparked a legal battle over profits.
George had previously denied claims that he “defrauded” his former band member.
He said in a statement earlier this year: “My former band member Jon Moss has made the most unfounded and hurtful allegations against me in legal proceedings in the UK.
