The Rolling Tape

Save the date because it’s the event of the year, celebrating the marriage of Charlie Thompson and Emma Harwood in The Drama written and directed by Kristoffer Borgli. 
A24’s totally romantic and completely comedic rom-com, The Drama, which premiered on March 17, 2026 at DGA Theater Complex in Los Angeles, was released in the United States by A24 on April 3, 2026. The film stars Zendaya and Robert Pattinson as an engaged couple who begin to learn secrets about one another in the lead-up to their wedding. It also stars Alana Haim, Mamoudou Athie and Hailey Gates.
We also discuss the careers of the film’s honorary couple, Robert Pattinson and Zendaya, as well as discuss what makes a marketing campaign go viral.

Every month, we read a book that has been adapted for the screen… then we share our receipts. What worked? What didn’t? Did we enjoy the book or the movie more?
Our host, Kasey Dunifer, is a cinephile and avid reader. She loves exploring how these two art forms intersect to create even richer worlds. So if you like books and movies, you’re in the right place. Welcome to the club.
This month we read Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir. It is the bestselling sci-fi novel from 2021, that has just been adapted for the big screen. The film stars Ryan Gosling, is directed by Phil Lord and Christopher Miller, and was written by Drew Goddard.
Spoilers ahead for both the book and film.

Daniel Goldhaber and Isa Mazzei are longtime collaborators who have worked together across three feature films, CAM, How to Blow Up a Pipeline, and now Faces of Death. The film is a remake of the 1978 film, which spawned significant controversy for its grotesque depictions of death scenes, and the lore surrounding whether they were real deaths turned the film into a cult-followed franchise.
The 2026 edition stars Barbie Ferreira, Dacre Montgomery, Josie Totah, Aaron Holliday, Jermaine Fowler, and Charli XCX. We are joined by the film's Director/Co-Writer, Daniel Goldhaber & Co-Writer/Producer, Isa Mazzei, to discuss their take on interpreting the source material in a contemporary landscape. The pair also provides a behind-the-scenes look at some of the film's most notable choices in cinematography and art direction. 
Faces of Death is having its World Premiere at Beyond Fest on April 5 and will be in theaters on April 10 from IFC and Shudder.

The 2026 Oscars may have just wrapped up, but with our expanded weekly conversations on The Awards Tape, the award season has already turned the calendar into the next cycle. Soon enough, on April 9, we're going to get the Cannes announcement lineup, which will kickstart the first Oscar rumors, but until then we're discussing potential contenders in a draft style format to keep things fun. 
Each of us is going to draft 8 potential award contenders we believe will be big value plays come next award season and the Oscars. Those selections will be graded and accumulate points throughout the year based on the following criteria:
Critic and audience scores (Rotten Tomatoes, Metacritic, and Letterboxd)
Box office reception
Festival awards, precursor nominations, and Oscar nominations
We also instituted a couple of special rules to add to the competition:
A player can only draft 3 films with a budget of $100 million or more
One of your 8 films has to be a No Guts No Glory pick. A film you have little-to-no faith in will be an awards contender but you are willing to roll the dice. Should this film receive any (even one) Oscar nomination, it will net you an automatic 30 points for your pick.

It's almost time for Euphoria Sundays once again. Today, we continue our retrospective series on HBO's Euphoria. With the show returning for a new season on April 12th for Season 3, we'll be going back and revisiting each of the two previous seasons leading up to the premiere. 
We're continuing our Euphoria retrospective and getting into the second season of the ever-so-controversial HBO hit show. This is the season that came out in 2022 after a very long pandemic delay, and it definitely feels way different than season 1. It's bigger, maybe a little messier. But we still have Zendaya at the center as Rue and it spreads out across the ensemble cast like in season 1, and focuses on their relationships and tensions.
