With voices like Tina Fey, Maya Rudolph, John Mulaney, Andy Samberg, and Conan O’Brien among others reflecting on the guidance that shaped their careers, Oscar-winning documentarian Morgan Neville uses archival footage and candid interviews to paint a portrait of a low-key architect whose influence on modern comedy is anything but small.

(Fri, Mar 27th — wide release)

One bad job. One very bad building. Zazie Beetz stars in this grindhouse horror-action hybrid as a financially desperate woman who takes a housekeeping gig inside a towering New York high-rise, only to discover its wealthy tenants (Patricia Arquette, Tom Felton, and Heather Graham) are part of a satanic cult with a monthly human sacrifice on the schedule... and she’s next in line.

Directed by actor Rick Gomez from a script he co-wrote with Zahn, and co-starring Ethan Hawke, Mackenzie Ziegler, Sonequa Martin-Green, and Rosemarie DeWitt, the film suggests that family reconciliation is often found through quiet moments of vulnerability rather than dramatic confrontations.

(Fri, Mar 27th — limited release)

The mind becomes uncharted territory in this documentary portrait of maverick scientist Dr. John C. Lilly. Driven to unlock the secrets of consciousness, he uses his own body as a laboratory, exploring dolphin communication, sensory deprivation, and psychedelics in search of something beyond human understanding. Narrated by Chloë Sevigny, the film follows a figure whose radical pursuits blurred the line between science and self-exploration, while inspiring films like Ken Russell’s Altered States and Mike Nichols’s The Day of the Dolphin. Free your mind... but be careful what you invite in.

🎥 Andre Is an Idiot
(Fri, Mar 6th — limited release)

Mortality gets the last word in this Sundance-winning documentary, where self-described “idiot” André Ricciardi turns the camera on himself after a devastating colorectal cancer diagnosis. Blending candid vérité with surreal stop-motion, he chronicles his final chapter with dark humor and blunt self-awareness.

🎥 The Napa Boys
(Fri, Feb 27th — limited release)

This knowingly fake fourth entry in a mock franchise from sketch comedians Nick Corirossi and Armen Weitzman sends its wine-loving crew on one last ludicrous quest. Nostalgia, midlife panic, and meta-humor ferment into chaotic self-awareness. A farewell tour for a saga that never technically existed. Think Sideways but with the absurdity of Wet Hot American Summer. It’s a farce where the joke is the franchise itself.

(Fri, Feb 27th — exclusively in AMC Theatres)

Rapper Anderson .Paak writes, directs, and stars as a once-rising musician who heads to South Korea chasing relevance inside the cutthroat world of K-pop competition, only to discover a son (Soul Rasheed) he never knew existed.

Amy Landecker writes, directs, and stars as a newly single mom whose carefree wedding weekend with a much younger date (Nico Hiraga) quickly tangles into something more complicated when another divorcee (Bradley Whitford) enters the mix.

🎥 Dreams
(Fri, Feb 27th — limited release)

Jessica Chastain stars as Jennifer, a wealthy American benefactor who begins a secret affair with an undocumented Mexican ballet dancer (Isaac Hernández), only to discover that desire and dominance are separated by a dangerously thin line.

🎥 Matter of Time
(Fri, Feb 27th — limited release)

If you could pause the world, would you fix your life... or just delay it further?

A grieving L.A. homicide detective (Brendan Fehr) sets out to dismantle a ruthless criminal syndicate only to discover the rot runs straight through his own department.

🎥 Ghost Elephants
(Fri, Feb 27th — limited release)

At 83, Werner Herzog is still chasing the unknowable. The legendary filmmaker follows conservation biologist Dr. Steve Boyes into the Angolan wilderness on a decade-long quest to find a rumored herd of “Ghost Elephants,” guided by trackers whose intuition feels almost mythic. Less a wildlife documentary than a meditation on obsession and belief, Herzog’s latest asks whether the search for something unseen reveals more about the seeker than the creature itself.

🎥 Space Cowboy
(Fri, Feb 27th — limited release)

For Joe Jennings, the sky was never just a backdrop... it was home. This soaring documentary follows the pioneering aerial cinematographer as he reflects on a career spent chasing gravity-defying shots alongside partner Rob Harris, and the devastating loss that forced him to keep flying alone.

Olivia Holt stars in this high school-set zombie siege thriller as a frantic student leading her trapped classmates barricaded inside their school, where dwindling supplies and rising paranoia turn survival into a psychological pressure cooker.

🎥 Diabolic
(Fri, Feb 20th — limited release; also on VOD)

In this slow-burn possession horror, Elizabeth Cullen stars as a cult survivor who returns to her fundamentalist religious compound seeking healing, only to find herself stalked by a vengeful spirit bound to a long-cursed witch. As paranoia festers, her body becomes a vessel for an inherited evil that was never exorcised... only waiting for her to come home.

🎥 EPiC: Elvis Presley in Concert
(Fri, Feb 20th — IMAX release; in IMAX for one week only)

In this electrifying concert documentary, Elvis helmer Baz Luhrmann unveils restored, never-before-seen footage from Elvis Presley’s legendary 1970s Las Vegas residency, capturing the King at his most magnetic and unguarded. Through the glitter, sweat, and spectacle of Sin City, it’s more than a time capsule... it’s rock ’n’ roll royalty at full voltage!

🎥 Billy Preston: That’s the Way God Planned It
(Fri, Feb 20th — limited release; in NY; More Cities to follow)

In this intimate music documentary, rare archival footage and studio outtakes chart the life of Grammy-winning keyboard virtuoso Billy Preston, tracing his rise from performing with Mahalia Jackson at age five to becoming the so-called “fifth Beatle” during the Get Back sessions and a sonic force alongside The Rolling Stones and Aretha Franklin. Beyond the accolades, it’s a soulful portrait of genius as both gift and burden, exploring the uneasy crossroads of faith, fame, identity, and a lifelong search for acceptance.

🎥 2026 Oscar Nominated Shorts

🎥 Gale: Yellow Brick Road
(Wed, Feb 11th — limited release; via Fathom Ent.)

This dark fantasy horror follows an elderly Dorothy haunted by memories no one believes as her granddaughter (Chloë Crump) is pulled back into a once-magical realm now rotted by fear and inheritance. Directed by Daniel Alexander and drawing from L. Frank Baum’s mythology, Oz reveals itself as a curse that never ended, and the yellow brick road only leads to what was never meant to be escaped.

🎥 Crime 101
(Fri, Feb 13th — wide release)

Chris Hemsworth is in full precision mode starring in this sleek L.A. heist thriller as a master jewel thief whose perfectly controlled world starts to fracture when an ambitious insurance broker (Halle Berry) becomes his inside woman and a relentless detective (Mark Ruffalo) closes in on a pattern no one else can see.

🎥 GOAT
(Fri, Feb 13th — wide release)

Produced by NBA star Stephen Curry, this high-energy animated basketball fantasy follows a scrappy young goat named Will (voiced by Stranger Things’ Caleb McLaughlin) who gets his long-shot crack at a brutal, animal-dominated pro league where predators rule the court and underdogs don’t survive for long.

🎥 Wuthering Heights
(Fri, Feb 13th — wide release)

This torrid gothic romance centers on Jacob Elordi’s Heathcliff, a castoff raised at a desolate manor whose obsessive devotion to Margot Robbie’s Catherine Earnshaw mutates into jealousy, revenge, and generational ruin when love slips out of reach. Under filmmaker Emerald Fennell’s decadent gaze and visual flare, this sets out to prove that some love stories aren’t meant to heal... they’re meant to leave scorch marks.

🎥 Good Luck, Have Fun, Don’t Die
(Fri, Feb 13th — wide release)

This offbeat sci-fi comedy drops Sam Rockwell into a late-night diner as a filthy, unhinged time traveler warning that an AI apocalypse is imminent, forcing a skeptical group (led by Haley Lu Richardson, Michael Peña, Zazie Beetz, and Juno Temple) to decide whether saving humanity is worth trusting the last guy anyone would ever listen to. Directed by Gore Verbinski, the fate of the future comes with a simple rulebook: panic later, laugh now, and try very hard not to die.

🎥 Cold Storage
(Fri, Feb 13th — wide release)

This darkly comic sci-fi thriller stars Stranger Things’ Joe Keery and Barbarian’s Georgina Campbell as two storage-facility clerks whose graveyard shift erupts into utter chaos after they accidentally unleash a lethal fungal outbreak, pushing them into an uneasy alliance with Liam Neeson’s grizzled bioterror fixer to stop extinction before dawn. Written by David Koepp and adapted from his own novel, it argues the end of the world won’t arrive with a bang... just one spectacularly disastrous night on the job.

🎥 Nirvanna the Band the Show the Movie
(Fri, Feb 13th — limited release)

Bigger plans mean worse consequences in this time-hopping mockumentary comedy, as struggling musicians Matt Johnson and Jay McCarrol escalate their latest scheme into a reality-bending chase for fame that spirals from desperate self-promotion into reckless stunts, alternate timelines, and a very real parachute jump off Toronto’s CN Tower. It’s a feature-length extension of Matt and Jay’s cult Canadian mockumentary series, where obsession and ego keep smashing the reset button, proving some bad ideas only get worse with a second try.

🎥 By Design
(Fri, Feb 13th — limited release)

In this absurdist body-swap comedy, Juliette Lewis stars as a woman who magically trades places with a chair (yes, a chair!) and discovers she’s far more valued as an object than as a person. With filmmaker Amanda Kramer’s surreal, emotionally off-kilter touch, this eyebrow-raising satire turns envy into an existential experiment where being desired, sat on, and admired starts to feel like a disturbingly comfortable upgrade from being seen and ignored.

🎥 Mimics
(Fri, Feb 13th — limited release)

For a struggling Vegas impressionist, a shortcut to fame arrives through borrowed voices that begin swallowing the man behind them, as Kristoffer Polaha plays a ventriloquist whose breakout act turns invasive and irreversible. Making his directorial debut, Polaha drives this psychological thriller to a dark conclusion: some voices don’t want to be performed... they want to stay!

🎥 The Mortuary Assistant
(Fri, Feb 13th — limited release)

A routine overnight shift turns into a waking nightmare when a young, inexperienced mortician (Willa Holland, of CW’s Arrow) realizes something inside the building is paying attention. Directed by Jeremiah Kipp and co-starring Paul Sparks and John Adams, this supernatural chiller suggests that in a place built for the dead, survival depends on noticing who — or what — is watching back.

🎦 Primitive War
(Mon, Feb 9th — streaming on Hulu)

This gonzo creature feature drops a Vietnam recon squad into a jungle crawling not with enemy troops but with teeth, claws, and Cretaceous nightmares. Ryan Kwanten, Tricia Helfer, and Jeremy Piven suit up for a war movie where M16s meet velociraptors, and strategy goes out the window once the dinosaurs charge.

🎦 Predator: Badlands
(Thurs, Feb 12th — streaming on Hulu)

From Prey director Dan Trachtenberg comes a brutal new chapter in the Predator saga, told through alien eyes. Stranded on a savage world swarming with monstrous lifeforms, a young Predator warrior (Dimitrius Schuster-Koloamatangi) must fight to survive with only an injured Weyland-Yutani synth (Elle Fanning) as his unlikely ally. But once the shadow of Weyland-Yutani looms, the hunt threatens to become something far more sinister.

🎦 Song Sung Blue
(Fri, Feb 13th — streaming on Peacock)

Hugh Jackman and Kate Hudson star as two down-on-their-luck performers who find renewed purpose through an unlikely Neil Diamond–fueled partnership. As small gigs grow into something personal and transformative, this feel-good musical drama asks whether the stage can heal real-life wounds, or if the spotlight always comes with a cost.
