We love to see a creative keep scaling up. Watching Pamela Adlon evolve and progress over the last few years has been terrific. An outstanding comedian who rose in popularity on FX’s Louis C.K. comedy “Louie,” after the stint on that series, Adlon graduated to her own similarly personal show “Better Things.” Created by Adlon and C.K., she quickly took over the full reins and started directing on the series as well. And by season two, all the way through its final fifth season, she was directing the entire series and had a hand in writing a bulk of it, too.

The new A24/Hulu film, “False Positive,” isn’t a feature that is easily categorized. It’s a satire, sure. It’s also a psychological thriller/horror. So, in a new behind-the-scenes look at the film, filmmaker John Lee describes it best as a “psychological satire.”

With “False Positive” arriving on Hulu this week, we’re thrilled to give our readers an exclusive look at a behind-the-scenes featurette where Lee and star Ilana Glazer break down the complexity of their new thriller.

With his latest film, “False Positive,” director John Lee takes the always thrilling psychological horror genre, and he combines it with his signature dark comedy to construct a commentary on pregnancy and a woman’s right to her own bodily autonomy. Written by Lee, Ilana Glazer, and Alissa Nutting, “False Positive” stars Glazer as Lucy, who—along with her husband Adrian (Justin Theroux)—has been trying and failing to get pregnant.

Given the amount of nervousness, fear, and uncertainty many women face with the unpredictability of pregnancy—not to mention the strange-to-reckon-with fact that a small, separate being in a liquid sack is slowly incubating inside you—it’s a wonder there aren’t dozens of horror pregnancy films conceived every year. Ilana Glazer’s riff on this genre, “False Positive,” from A24 and Hulu, is born from the emotional turmoil that often accompanies pregnancy.

A24‘s faith in the horror genre continues with “False Positive.” If Ari Aster, Robert Eggers celebrated films (“Hereditary,” “The Witch“) provided a modern update to the folk horror and demonic possession tropes from ’70s horror, it sounds like this film, “False Positive,” is a “Rosemary’s Baby” for the 21st century.

Phil Lord and Chris Miller are filmmakers that really have earned our trust over the past several years. Thanks to films like “The LEGO Movie,” the ‘21 Jump Street’ franchise, and “Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse,” these filmmakers have the benefit of the doubt no matter what the project is. However, with the upcoming series, “The Afterparty,” it appears that there’s very little to doubt, as the comedy is stacked with some incredible actors.

A24 is working on a new psychological horror film, and surprisingly, it’s coming from the minds of two people well-versed in comedy. The production company just announced that a new film titled “False Positive” has just begun production, and it is being co-written by Ilana Glazer and John Lee, the latter of which directs the feature.

According to a report on Deadline, the hit series is going to wrap up after the upcoming season, which is scheduled to air in 2019. However, that doesn’t mean the end of the relationship between stars Abbi Jacobson and Ilana Glazer and Comedy Central.

Oh, 2011… it was the year that gave us “The Tree Of Life” and “Drive,” Charlie Sheen‘s meltdown, the iPhone 4s, Kate Middleton and Prince William‘s marriage, and the first meeting of Abbi and Ilana. The new trailer for “Broad City” season four is here, and we see how our two favorite besties first met.

Mixing equal parts of “The Hangover,” “Very Bad Things,” and “Bridesmaids,” “Rough Night” is a comedy cocktail that goes down easy. It adheres a bit too closely to the recipe established by its predecessors, but it works well enough to keep the audience laughing. Written by director Lucia Aniello and co-star Paul W. Downs, the film is at its strongest when its humor dives into the deep end of the female experience – or any time Kate McKinnon is on screen.

The new season of “Broad City” could not be arriving at a better time. It’s not that Illana Glazer and Abbi Jacobson are going to save the world, but we could certainly use a hilarious distraction from watching the shenanigans in the White House, and the duo will be helping everyone cap off the summer by doing just that.

In 1998’s crime/comedy flick, “Very Bad Things,” a prostitute accidentally gets killed during a bachelor party. Fast-forward nearly two decades and the premise has been flipped for the upcoming “Rough Night,” which leans more raunchy than black comedy in its take on the setup.

Scarlett Johansson, Zoë Kravitz, Jillian Bell, Ilana Glazer and Kate McKinnon star in the movie about five gal pals who go wild in Miami during a bachelorette party, only for a male stripper to wind up dead in their hands.

We’ve been a little bit disappointed by the marketing for “Rough Night” before now. The script, by “Broad City” duo Lucia Aniello and Paul W. Downs, is one of the funniest we’ve read in recent years, and has an absolutely great cast, but we were a bit concerned when the film changed its name from the very appropriate “Move That Body” to the much more generic “Rough Night”.

Comedy dream teams are no longer just the domain of men. Last year’s “Bad Moms” burst open the doors that were considerably rocked off the hinges by “Bridesmaids,” and this year “Girls Night” and “Bad Moms Christmas” are already on the horizon. Joining them will be another raunchy comedy in “Rough Night.”

Formerly titled “Rock This Body,” the movie brings together Scarlett Johansson, Zoë Kravitz, Jillian Bell, Ilana Glazer and Kate McKinnon for a tale of a bachelorette party that gets out of hand when a male stripper winds up dead.

Like it or not, you should probably get ready for four years of dissent. And yes, a lot of it is going to come from the entertainment industry in the form of jokes and jabs at President YouKnowHisNameNotGonnaSayItAloud. But some people are just damn angry and using that energy to create some laughs. We’re not sure if you’re following the Twitter accounts of the “Broad City” girls, Ilana Glazer and Abbi Jacobson, but they’re hopping mad today (well, ok, at least Glazer is).

Perhaps one can understand why Martin Scorsese and Pedro Almodovar weep for the state of contemporary cinema: we’re getting a movie starring emojis. We won’t go so far as to say film is dead, but certainly, commerce and brand leverage are really taking the fore at the studio level.

Anyway, this animated effort brings those icons on your phone to life with T.J Miller, Ilana Glazer and James Corden leading the voice cast, that follows an emoji who is burdened with the flaw of being able to express more than one emotion.
