    11 HR AGO

    Transformers One

    Roll Models The story of Autobots and Decepticons begins with the 2024 animated epic Transformers One. What makes lowly miner droid Orion Pax (Chris Hemsworth) so optimistic that he will find the Matrix of Leadership and lead his cog-less peers to a new destiny on the surface of Cybertron?  And how does his friendship with bestie Brian Tyree Henry (Into The Spider-Verse) transform into such a bitter rivalry?   Listen Now to find out how well Hasbro incorporates Scarlett Johansson, Jon Hamm, Keegan-Michael Key, and Steve Buscemi into their iconic toy line.

    17 SEPT

    Hearts in Atlantis

    The Silence of the Low Men Stephen King tries his hand at touching coming-of-age drama with the 2001 adaptation of Hearts In Atlantis. So why are the Now Playing Podcast hosts so terrified by the stranger danger posed to 11-year-old Anton Yelchin (Star Trek) by neighbor Anthony Hopkins? Is single mother Hope Davis (American Splendor) smart to leave her son unsupervised with this supernatural tenant and trust that his fatherly lessons in gambling and kissing girls won’t get the pair into trouble with the FBI agents swarming small town Connecticut? Listen Now, and don’t miss a minute of it.

    Beetlejuice Beetlejuice

    Runaway Corpse Bride Goth girl Winona Ryder might’ve left “ghost with the most” Michael Keaton at the altar 36 years ago, but she’s now desperate to wed the bio-exorcist and save her family in the 2024 sequel Beetlejuice Beetlejuice. Will their haunted honeymoon go better than his first marriage to soul-sucking Monica Bellucci (Matrix Reloaded)? And does Tim Burton’s ghoulish creation have enough creative juices left to revive a dead franchise and captivate a jaded younger audience like Jenna Ortega (Wednesday)?  Become a Now Playing Patron and Find Out this September!

  4. Shadow of the Vampire

    10 SEPT

    Shadow of the Vampire

    ”I’m Ready for My Close-Up, Mr. Murnau” The silent movie Nosferatu: A Symphony of Horror may be a counterfeit version of Dracula, but it boasts the most authentic undead performance in cinema history, according to Shadow of the Vampire. Has director John Malkovich made a pact with the devil by casting actual bloodsucker Willem Dafoe as his lead actor?  And will co-stars Catherine McCormack (Braveheart) and Eddie Izzard (Ocean’s 13), along with crew Cary Elwes (Saw) and Udo Kier (Andy Warhol’s Dracula), be sacrificed in the artistic pursuit of ultimate realism? “Iris In” and Find Out Now!

  5. Abigail

    3 SEPT

    Abigail

    Little Miss Sunset Six kidnappers abduct Abigail in a get-rich-quick scheme that backfires once they realize the wee ballerina is Dracula’s Daughter. Can ex-junkie Melissa Berrera (Scream), bad cop Dan Stevens (Legion), hacker Kathryn Newton (Quantumania), wheelman Angus Cloud (Euphoria), muscle Kevin Durand (Locke & Key), and sniper William Catlett (Black Lightning) find a way out of this babysitting bloodbath?  And does directing team Radio Silence revive the Universal Monsters brand better than the recent Renfield and Last Voyage of the Demeter?

  6. The Crow (2024)

    30 AUG • NOW PLAYING PLUS ONLY

    The Crow (2024)

    Cry Now, Troll Later Bad boy Bill Skarsgard trades in his clown shoes and blood-filled balloons for face tats and a mullet as he joins the murder of actors who’ve starred as The Crow. The 2024 reboot brings Eric Draven back from the dead to stop Satanist Danny Huston (X-Men Origins: Wolverine) from whispering homicidal enchantments in the ears of impressionable folk like British pop star FKA Twigs. But is director Rupert Sanders’ comic book vision pure enough to survive comparisons to the iconic Brandon Lee original? Find out when you Donate to support Now Playing!

  7. The Green Inferno

    27 AUG

    The Green Inferno

    My Body, Main Course Will it be another cannibal holocaust for tweeting college activists after their 2015 plane ride crashes into the very same Green Inferno that Ruggero Deodato documented in his notorious 1980 found footage shocker?  Director Eli Roth (Thanksgiving) certainly isn’t letting these social justice warriors off any hooks or impaling sharp objects as they attempt to live-stream a stand-off between an oil company destroying the rainforest and a local tribe of headhunters. Find out if Final Girl Lorenza Izzo, and the Now Playing hosts, can withstand the abuse now.

    1h 36m
  8. Cannibal Holocaust

    20 AUG

    Cannibal Holocaust

    No Animals Weren’t Harmed In The Making Of This Movie Four documentary filmmakers disappear into the “green inferno” of the Amazon rainforest and end up the main dish in a Cannibal Holocaust. But will the recovered footage of their final moments in the jungle actually prove that modern-day Americans are the real savages?  And why is porn star Robert Kerman the only one arguing that snuff films shouldn’t air on prime-time television?  Find out if Arnie, Stuart, and Jakob taste like chickens as they dish on Italian splatter director Ruggero Deodato’s notorious 1980 found footage landmark  Listen Now!
