The Penguin

Colin Farrell is a phenomenal actor, having recently starred in Sugar, The Banshees of Inisherin and Thirteen Lives. Yet the role that sees him go through the most transformation may be his performance as The Penguin in The Batman. For those who enjoyed Farrell in the movie, then you'll want to tune in for The Penguin limited series. Is there a chance his performance will surpass that of our favorite onscreen Penguin, Danny DeVito?
I Saw the TV Glow (2024)
- The A24 horror movie streams on Max on September 20
The relationship between A24 and Max has been a fruitful one, and this week the streamer debuts I Saw the TV Glow. The movie follows two teens as they watch a mysterious late-night TV show that takes them into a bizarre supernatural world. The more they're exposed to the TV's "glow," the more the view of what's real starts to crack. We think it's worth checking out if you haven't seen the film Rotten Tomatoes has "certified fresh."
