This week, Sam and Ian return to prison, well, the prison drama. We’ve discussed prison films before with a Vault review of 1974’s The Longest Yard and its remake, but this week is a bit harder. The Shawshank Redemption, Escape from Alcatraz, Sing Sing, Chicago, and Dead Man Walking have all shaped our outsider perspective on the inside. But the harsh reality is more than Rita Hayworth posters, daring escapes, Shakespearian plays, lavish musical fantasies, and gridiron football. It’s gritty, brutal, and unrelenting. And what better way to capture that than with contraband cellphone video from the prisoners themselves? It’s Wasteman directed by Cal McMow.

This week, we relive my tortuous middle school existence with a psychological thriller about bullying. ELLE magazine calls it a disturbing probe into the existential dreads of male adolescence. I call it an aquatic adaptation of Lord of the Flies. Inspired by Full Metal Jacket and The Shining, it’s The Plague, written and directed by Charlie Polinger.

This week we're pulling back the curtain on one of Hollywood's most misunderstood subjects: film financing. Where does all that money come from? Who gets paid first? Why are movie stars earning $20 million upfront while some actors work for union minimums? And why does a movie's box office total tell only a fraction of the story?

Relationships are messy, and this week, we profile a chaotic, modern farce that puts the ‘screw’ into screwball—a movie that finds absurdist comedy in the hypocrisies, jealousies, and self-deceptions of ethical non monogamy complete with plenty of hanging hog. It’s a satire of modern love with old school comedy techniques. It’s Michael Angelo Covino’s Splitsville.
