OPENING

 

Dhurandhar (NR) The first of a two-part saga became India’s biggest box-office hit in 2025, and you can see why. Ranveer Singh stars as an Indian agent who’s sent covertly into Pakistan to infiltrate its criminal gangs and investigate ties to terrorism. The bulk of the movie takes place in Pakistan (though it was shot in Thailand), and watching the hero immerse himself in the culture is fascinating. Also, the film has several heavyweight actors portraying various villains that the hero either fights for or against, and the deaths on display are considerably gorier than you typically find in a Bollywood film. With all the characters in play here, writer-director Aditya Dhar makes sure that we don’t lose track of who betrays whom. Also with Sanjay Dutt, Akshaye Khanna, R. Madhavan, Arjun Rampal, Sara Arjun, Rakesh Bedi, Gaurav Gera, Manav Gohil, Danish Pandor, Saumya Tandon, Naveen Kaushik, and Krystle D’Souza. (Re-opens Friday)

Frankenstein (PG-13) Guillermo del Toro’s adaptation of Mary Shelley’s novel is more visually resplendent than anything he has done since Crimson Peak. Oscar Isaac plays the doctor who wishes to reverse death and Jacob Elordi plays the creature whom he brings to life. Unlike most adaptations of Frankenstein, this one depicts the second half of Shelley’s novel, in which the monster tells his side of the story. Elordi gives his first vivid performance for the big screen as a being who moves delicately to avoid hurting the people around him, and the cinematography and costumes give the piece a Hammer Studios-like lushness. Yet the thing is missing the horrifying spiral of destruction between Victor and his creation, despite Isaac’s energy and theatrical flair. This movie is playing on Netflix, but its visuals make it worth experiencing in a theater. Also with Mia Goth, Christoph Waltz, David Bradley, Felix Kammerer, Lars Mikkelsen, Christian Convery, Ralph Ineson, and Charles Dance. (Re-opens Friday)

The Gates (R) Mason Gooding and Algee Smith co-star in this thriller as two Black men who witness a murder inside a gated community. Also with Keith Powers, Brad Leland, Elle Evans, Sofia Hublitz, and the late James Van Der Beek. (Opens Friday at AMC Grapevine Mills)

Mirmire (NR) This Nepalese comedy stars Saisha Gauchan as a girl whose father (Pawan Gole) is hiding a shameful secret. Also with Maotse Gurung, Sudip Kunwar, Srijana Ningleku, and Dayahang Rai. (Opens Friday)

One Battle After Another (R) One of Paul Thomas Anderson’s more purely enjoyable movies stars Leonardo DiCaprio as a former anti-ICE revolutionary who has to save his teenage daughter (Chase Infiniti) from a supersoldier (Sean Penn) who has reason to think the girl is his own biological daughter and kill her to destroy evidence of his sexual preference for Black women. The story is loosely adapted from Thomas Pynchon’s Vineland and set in the present day, which brings out the antic, puckish side of Anderson’s filmmaking. The film has nerve-frying action sequences, including an inventive car chase in the California desert with the cars appearing and disappearing from view because of the hilly terrain. The film also gets great performances from the newcomer Infiniti, DiCaprio as a father who realizes he’s not doing so good as a parent because he’s drunk and stoned all the time, and Penn as a villain brimming with hatred for this girl he has never met. It’s not as tidy as I’d like, but it’s great anyway. Also with Benicio del Toro, Regina Hall, Teyana Taylor, Alana Haim, Wood Harris, Shayna McHayle, Kevin Tighe, D.W. Moffett, and Tony Goldwyn. (Re-opens Friday)

Per Aspera ad Astra (NR) This Chinese science-fiction film stars Dylan Wang and Victoria Song as detectives who discover that a new product allowing people to control their own dreams poses a threat to society. Also with Zu Feng, Luo Haoqiong, Xie Nan, and Wang Duo. (Opens Friday at AMC Grapevine Mills)

Reminders of Him (PG-13) This sleep-inducing adaptation of Colleen Hoover’s novel offers considerably less entertainment value than either It Ends With Us or Regretting You. Maika Monroe stars as an ex-convict released from prison after her driving while high results in a traffic accident that kills her boyfriend (Rudy Pankow). She returns to her hometown in Laramie to see the daughter (Zoe Kosovic) whom she gave birth to inside, only to fall for her ex-boyfriend’s best friend (Tyriq Withers). Withers holds up his end, but Monroe’s idea of playing someone traumatized and grieving is to deliver a bunch of flat line readings. Also with Lauren Graham, Lainey Wilson, Monika Myers, Nicholas Duvernay, Jennifer Robertson, and Bradley Whitford. (Opens Friday)

Scared to Death (NR) This horror film stars Olivier Paris as an aspiring movie director who films a seance in a real-life haunted house, with his movie’s actors participating. Also with Lin Shaye, Bill Moseley, Victoria Konefal, Jade Chynoweth, B.J. Minor, Kurt Deimer, Lucinda Jenney, and Rae Dawn Chong. (Opens Friday)

Scent of Pho (NR) This Vietnamese comedy is about a pho master (Thu Trang) who runs into trouble deciding which of his family should take over his business. Also with Thanh Thanh Hien, Xuan Hinh, Chu Manh Cuong, Ha Huong, and Quoc Tuan. (Opens Friday)

Sentimental Value (R) Joachim Trier stakes a pretty fair claim to being Norway’s greatest ever film director with this family show-business drama. Renate Reinsve portrays a theater and TV actress who turns down an offer from her world-famous filmmaker father (Stellan Skarsgård) to act the lead in his new movie, then watches him hand the part to an A-list Hollywood star (Elle Fanning). Reinsve, who has a track record of playing messy women in Trier’s movies, creates a great sense of presence of this deeply troubled creative person, and she’s matched by the rest of the cast, particularly Skarsgård as a self-centered artist who seems only able to relate to his kids when he’s directing them on a set. Trier’s stylistic flourishes are out of place here, as the film relies on the old-fashioned virtues of acting and writing, and pays moving tribute to the power of art to heal a family’s wounds. Also with Inga Ibsdotter Lilleaas, Anders Danielsen Lie, Lena Endre, Jesper Christensen, Andreas Stoltenburg Granerud, Øyvind Hesjedahl Loven, Lars Väringer, and Cory Michael Smith. (Re-opens Friday)

Slanted (R) Amy Wang’s science-fiction satire stars Shirley Chen as a Chinese-American teenager who undergoes a surgical procedure that turns her into a white girl (Mckenna Grace). Also with Maitreyi Ramakrishnan, Elaine Hendrix, Megan Hayes, Amelie Zilber, R. Keith Harris, and Vivian Wu. (Opens Friday)

Storm Rider: Legend of Hammerhead (NR) Billy Barratt stars in this science-fiction film about a postapocalyptic islander seeking the truth about his world. Also with James Cosmo, Joey Ansah, Frances Tomelty, Marco Ilsø, and Caroline Goodall. (Opens Friday)

Sunshine Women’s Choir (NR) This Chinese drama is about the inmates in a women’s prison who form a chorus to benefit a prisoner whose child is ill. Starring Ivy Chen, Judy Ongg, Chung Hsin-Ling, Amber An, May Suen, Miao Ke-Li, Annie Chen, Blaire Chang, Ho Man-Xi, Chi Wen-Chieh, and Cheng Chih-Wei. (Opens Friday at AMC Grapevine Mills)

 

NOW PLAYING

 

Avatar: Fire and Ash (PG-13) Actually more interesting than the first two films, though that doesn’t make this good. Human being Spider (Jack Champion) gains the ability to breathe Pandora’s air, which only creates more problems because it makes him more attractive to the humans as a test subject. The best thing the series could do is kill off both Jake Sully (Sam Worthington) and Col. Quaritch (Stephen Lang), who both were wearing out their welcome even before this movie. While this film is beset by many of the same issues as its predecessors, it at least introduces us to a new Na’vi clan who ally themselves with the humans to get their hands on Earth weapons. They make more interesting villains than any this franchise has had before, and their presence lets us know that the Na’vi are not just innocent victims. A better writer than James Cameron might make this world interesting yet. Also with Zoe Saldaña, Sigourney Weaver, Oona Chaplin, Cliff Curtis, Joel David Moore, CCH Pounder, Edie Falco, Brendan Cowell, Giovanni Ribisi, Jemaine Clement, David Thewlis, and Kate Winslet.

Bendito corazón (NR) This Mexican drama tells the story of various people trying to build lives in the Spanish colony during the 18th century. Starring Frank Rodríguez, Salvador Zerboni, Lisset, Humberto Fuentes, Juan Manuel Azcona, Manjarrez Belinda, and Miguel Angel Pérez.

The Bride! (R) The sort of bad movie that only a very talented filmmaker can make. Maggie Gyllenhaal’s take on the Frankenstein story has the monster (Christian Bale) in Chicago in 1936, hiring another mad scientist (Annette Bening) to make a bride for him out of a freshly murdered escort (Jessie Buckley). The film is crammed with too many ideas for the filmmaker to develop adequately, including a spasmodic dance number, a framing story narrated by Mary Shelley (also Buckley), a cross-country chase, and the monster taking a Fred Astaire-like movie star (Jake Gyllenhaal) as his role model. The movie’s gonzo spirit on such a large budget is notable, but the Bride never emerges as her own person, and you can’t make out what the movie’s about when everything is splattered against the wall like this. Also with Penélope Cruz, John Magaro, Jeannie Berlin, Matthew Maher, Julianne Hough, Zlatko Burić, Louis Cancelmi, and Peter Sarsgaard.

Crime 101 (R) Very well made, yet weirdly impersonal. Chris Hemsworth headlines this star-studded piece of L.A. noir as a high-end jewel thief eyeing a huge score. Writer-director Bart Layton (American Animals) adapts this from Don Winslow’s novel and is clearly aiming for an epic character study like Heat, but the main character is someone who tries to make himself as unmemorable as possible, and Hemsworth can’t make anything interesting out of that. The anomie spreads to his interactions with a disgruntled insurance executive (Halle Berry), a down-on-his-luck cop (Mark Ruffalo), a psychopathic replacement (Barry Keoghan), and a love interest (Monica Barbaro). There’s a good car-and-motorcycle chase in the middle and a decent hotel showdown at the end, but it’s not enough to give the movie any sort of personality. Also with Corey Hawkins, Payman Maadi, Devon Bostick, Tate Donovan, Crosby Fitzgerald, Andra Nechita, Jennifer Jason Leigh, and Nick Nolte.

Dolly (R) This retro horror film stars Fabianne Therese as a young woman who’s preyed upon by a backwoods killer wearing a doll mask (Max the Impaler). Also with Ethan Suplee, Russ Tiller, Kate Cobb, Michalina Scorzelli, and Seann William Scott. 

Dracula (R) A spectacular mismatch of director and material. Luc Besson makes his own adaptation of Bram Stoker’s novel, with Caleb Landry Jones as the vampire and Zoë Bleu as the wife who’s killed in the 15th century and then reincarnated in the 19th. The filmmakers put a lot of work into re-creating Paris in 1889 but forget about basic stuff like why nobody tells the Romanian soldiers what they’re up against when they raid Dracula’s castle. Jones is charmless and boring as the count, and Besson has no talent either for scaring us or for evoking a love that spans centuries. Even the presence of Christoph Waltz as a vampire-hunting Vatican priest can’t relieve us from the tedium. You wonder why anybody involved with this even bothered. Also with Ewens Abid, David Shields, Matilda de Angelis, and Guillaume de Tonquédec.

EPiC: Elvis Presley in Concert (PG-13) Not quite the event that the filmmakers seem to think, though it still has value. Baz Luhrmann’s documentary consists of previously lost footage of Elvis Presley’s residency in Las Vegas, which he and his crew found while they were making Elvis. It’s hard not to wonder whether Presley is sweating because of his onstage exertions or all the drugs he was on at the time, and the audio clips from interviews with him don’t yield much insight into his ideas about music. You will nevertheless get to see him still looking and sounding fit while he covers his old hits as well as songs by the Everly Brothers, Ray Charles, and the Beatles. The performances stop short of electrifying, but they are good enough to make you understand why people flocked to the Vegas shows, and fans of the King of Rock and Roll will want to hear him perform through movie theater speakers. 

GOAT (PG) A better sequel to Zootopia than the actual Zootopia sequel. This animated movie is about a goat (voiced by Caleb McLaughlin) who wishes to play a form of full-contact basketball against much larger animals. The pixelated look of this movie gives it a grungier feel than most other Hollywood animated features, and the Black viewpoint further adds to this film’s uniqueness. I like how the basketball courts each have their own individual features that benefit the home team. The story is based on the life of NBA legend Steph Curry, who is cutely cast against type as the voice of a giraffe. It all makes this an animated sports movie worth cheering for. Additional voices by Gabrielle Union, Nick Kroll, David Harbour, Nicola Coughlan, Aaron Pierre, Jenifer Lewis, Patton Oswalt, Sherry Cola, Andrew Santino, Ayesha Curry, Eduardo Franco, Bobby Lee, Wayne Knight, Jelly Roll, and Jennifer Hudson. 

Good Luck, Have Fun, Don’t Die (R) Gore Verbinski’s sense of absurd humor goes missing in this apocalyptic comedy. Sam Rockwell stars as a time traveler from the future who visits the same diner for the 117th time to pick the right combination of customers who will avert an AI-triggered end of human civilization. Despite some worthy performances by Haley Lu Richardson and Juno Temple as two members of his team, the stacked cast appears to be mostly lost. The story becomes stuck in the mud as it approaches the climax and its satire about people becoming smartphone zombies is well wide of the mark. Even a giant kitten-cow monster that eats people and pees out broken glass can’t save this exercise. Also with Michael Peña, Zazie Beetz, Asim Chaudhry, Tom Taylor, Georgia Goodman, and Mike Gassaway. 

Hamnet (R) Beautifully crafted, occasionally crushing, and based on Maggie O’Farrell’s work of speculative fiction, Chloé Zhao’s film is about William Shakespeare (Paul Mescal) and his wife Agnes (Jessie Buckley) dealing with the death of their 11-year-old son Hamnet (Jacobi Jupe) from the bubonic plague. The film is quite different from O’Farrell’s novel; instead of adopting different characters’ viewpoints and jumping around in time, the movie proceeds in a linear fashion and sticks with Agnes as she raises the children in Stratford while Will goes off to London and catches on with a theater company. Much like Shakespeare in Love, this movie truly takes flight during a production of a Shakespeare play, when Agnes travels to London and sees her husband’s Hamlet as an expression of his grief over their lost son. Great performances by both leads bring this Hamlet to tragic life no matter how many Hamlets you’ve seen. Also with Joe Alwyn, Freya Hannan-Mills, David Wilmot, Bodhi Rae Breathnach, Olivia Lynes, Noah Jupe, and Emily Watson.

Hoppers (PG) Maybe it doesn’t tug at the heartstrings like Pixar’s best movies do, but it’s funny enough that you won’t care. A 19-year-old college student (voiced by Piper Curda) discovers that her biology professor (voiced by Kathy Najimy) has developed a program to temporarily put human consciousness into realistic robot animals, so she uses it to talk to the animals and save a beloved forest glade from being demolished. She does point out that this is the plot of Avatar, but this movie is better thought out than Avatar because it recognizes how complicated the fight for environmental justice can become. This movie delivers on entertainment value better than most recent Pixar entries, making the kids laugh without talking down to the adults. That’s all the animation giant ever needed to do. Additional voices by Jon Hamm, Bobby Moynihan, Dave Franco, Eduardo Franco, Tom Law, Vanessa Bayer, Ego Nwodim, Melissa Villaseñor, Meryl Streep, and the late Isiah Whitlock Jr.

I Can Only Imagine 2 (PG) The sequel to the 2018 Christian music biopic continues the journey of MercyMe lead singer Bart Millard (John Michael Finley) as he takes his teenage son (Sammy Dell) on tour as well as terminally ill singer-songwriter Tim Timmons (Milo Ventimiglia). Even if you’re not familiar with the Millard family’s story, none of the plot developments here will be remotely surprising, as Bart works through his issues with his own deceased father while trying to parent a kid whose medical condition needs constant supervision. Ventimiglia provides some comic snap as a musician who’s embarking on his first nationwide tour as MercyMe’s opening act, but this boilerplate Christian drama is beyond saving. Also with Sophie Skelton, Arielle Kebbel, Trace Adkins, Anjelah Johnson-Reyes, and Dennis Quaid.

Marty Supreme (R) Josh Safdie’s first solo effort as a director is better than Uncut Gems. Like that movie, it’s a sports-oriented film about a Jewish man who hustles because his life depends on it, but because this Jewish protagonist (Timothée Chalamet) has a great talent for table tennis, it dries out the movie and keeps it from becoming too heavy. Chalamet is electric and dangerous as a guy who is very far from being a nice Jewish boy, who knocks up his neighbor’s wife (Odessa A’zion) and beds a movie star (Gwyneth Paltrow) while trying to negotiate a sponsorship deal with her husband (Kevin O’Leary). Safdie creates set pieces that give us no time to catch our breath and displays creative approaches to music and the casting of the supporting roles. Still, it’s Chalamet’s performance that sells this, especially at the end, when he finds something other than his sport to focus on. Also with Fran Drescher, Sandra Bernhard, Tyler the Creator, Larry “Ratso” Sloman, Emory Cohen, Luke Manley, Géza Röhrig, Koto Kawaguchi, Pico Iyer, Fred Hechinger, Penn Jillette, Isaac Mizrahi, George Gervin, and Abel Ferrara. 

Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man (R) Cillian Murphy reprises his role in this big-screen version of the TV show, as Tommy Shelby undertakes secret missions during World War II. Also with Rebecca Ferguson, Barry Keoghan, Stephen Graham, Sophie Rundle, Ruby Ashbourne Serkis, Ian Peck, Ned Dennehy, and Tim Roth. 

Protector (R) Dispiriting. Milla Jovovich stars in this thriller as a war hero who returns stateside only for her teenage daughter (Isabel Myers) to be kidnapped by human traffickers. The most interesting thing about this is the plot revelation in the film’s last five minutes that could have been cool if it had been executed better. Elsewhere, too many of the action sequences happen offscreen, which perhaps is an acknowledgment that Jovovich is getting older. In any event, the writing is terrible enough to not be worth sitting through to get to them. Also with D.B. Sweeney, Don Harvey, Michael Stahl-David, Texas Battle, Shane Williams, Brooklyn Sudano, Gabriel Sloyer, and Matthew Modine. 

Scream 7 (R) Can this series die already? This latest installment is certainly bad enough to kill it. Neve Campbell returns as Sidney Prescott, who has moved to a new small town and opened a cafe when a new Ghostface claiming to be original movie killer Stu Macher (Matthew Lillard) targets her teenage daughter (Isabel May). Writer-director Kevin Williamson’s script is witless, and this new town has cops who disappear for long stretches without any explanation. The same goes for Gale Weathers (Courteney Cox), to the point where I started to think she was the killer. Nostalgia is all this series has left. At least Melissa Barrera and Jenna Ortega got out of this. Also with Mason Gooding, Jasmin Savoy Brown, Anna Camp, Joel McHale, Mckenna Grace, Celeste O’Connor, Sam Rechner, Asa Germann, Kraig Dane, Michelle Randolph, Jimmy Tatro, Timothy Simons, Ethan Embry, Mark Consuelos, Scott Foley, Laurie Metcalfe, and David Arquette. 

The Secret Agent (R) Worthy of its Oscar nominations, this Brazilian thriller moves at an unhurried pace. Wagner Moura portrays a chemistry professor who’s targeted for murder by an energy magnate (Luciano Chirolli) and his cronies in the government in 1977. The life of this movie isn’t in the pursuit of our main character by low-level hit men, but rather in the people he meets while he’s lying low in his hometown of Recife. Moura’s performance and writer-director Kleber Mendonça Filho’s attention to detail hold this 160-minute epic together as it goes through shootouts and a bizarre subplot about a severed leg coming to life. Bold, likable, and carefully considered, this story about taking on a fascist regime relies on its portrait of an everyday hero. Also with Carlos Francisco, Tânia Maria, Robério Diógenes, Gabriel Leone, Roney Villela, Thomás Aquino, Alice Carvalho, Hermila Guedes, Italo Martins, Igor de Araújo, Laura Lufési, Maria Fernanda Cândido, and the late Udo Kier. 

Send Help (R) For all of us who needed the feral, unhinged, blood-soaked version of Rachel McAdams in our lives. She stars as a strategist for a corporate consulting firm who can’t break the glass ceiling until she and her horrible boss (Dylan O’Brien) are the sole survivors when the corporate plane crashes on an uninhabited tropical island. McAdams’ balls-to-the-wall approach works less well in the middle but better at the beginning (when she’s playing someone who’s too poorly socialized to make friends in the office) and at the end (when the violence takes the movie into Evil Dead territory). Speaking of which, director Sam Raimi can’t keep the movie from falling apart at the end, but the film is still blackly funny and memorable for McAdams’ berserk turn. Also with Edyll Ismail, Xavier Samuel, Chris Pang, Thaneth Warakulnukroh, and Dennis Haysbert.

Sinners (R) Ryan Coogler’s foray into Jordan Peele territory is wild and wildly original, even when it doesn’t make sense. Michael B. Jordan plays identical twins who return from Chicago to their Mississippi hometown in the 1930s to open a blues joint with their cousin (Miles Caton) who happens to be an otherworldly musician. Jordan gives two bracing performances as brothers with different jobs and temperaments, the Mississippi town is more layered than we usually see in Hollywood movies, and there’s a great sequence with the blues musician delivering a song so powerful that it opens a rift in time and space as well as attracting vampires. Coogler winds up with a few too many ideas in his intellectual stew, but it frames Delta blues in a wholly unexpected way and emerges as a worthy vampire movie. What other movie can say that? Also with Hailee Steinfeld, Wunmi Mosaku, Li Jun Li, Jack O’Connell, Lola Kirke, Jayme Lawson, Saul Williams, Andrene Ward-Hammond, Peter Dreimanis, Omar Miller, Yao, Delroy Lindo, and Buddy Guy. 

Solo Mio (PG) Surprisingly not terrible. Kevin James stars in this comedy as a man whose Italian wedding is ruined after his bride-to-be (Julie Ann Emery) leaves him at the altar. With the rest of his honeymoon non-refundable, he stays in Tuscany and enjoys grappa and gelato, makes friends with the other honeymooning couples from America, and even falls in love again. If the movie is too postcard-pretty and the laughs could come more frequently, the pace doesn’t drag. Also with Jonathan Roumie, Kim Coates, Nicole Grimaudo, Julee Cerda, Caterina Silva, Alessandro Carbonara, and Alyson Hannigan. 

Train Dreams (PG-13) Adapted from Denis Johnson’s novel, Clint Bentley’s Oscar-nominated film is quite pleasant and unmemorable. Joel Edgerton stars as a 19th-century railroad worker in the Pacific Northwest who experiences tragedy while taking in the natural beauty of his working environment. The cinematography by Adolpho Veloso well merits its Oscar nomination and Bentley moves things along at a pace that suggests the passing of decades in a stolid and taciturn man’s life, but the whole thing rather washes over the viewer without leaving much of an impression. Maybe it’s more impressive on the big screen than it is on Netflix? Also with Felicity Jones, Kerry Condon, Clifton Collins Jr., Paul Schneider, Alfred Hsing, David Olsen, John Diehl, and William H. Macy. Narrated by Will Patton. 

Wuthering Heights (R) This bodice-ripper about two insanely hot people and their forbidden love doesn’t work on Emily Brontë’s terms, but works on its own. Director Emerald Fennell’s visual sense operates at an astonishing pitch, which is crucial in preventing this movie from turning into some museum piece. The occasionally garish visuals are always a treat to look at, and Fennell infuses this movie with more S&M-laced sex than any other adaptation of Wuthering Heights. The marriage between Heathcliff and Isabella (Jacob Elordi and Alison Oliver) is deeply icky. Elordi is no slouch, but Margot Robbie owns the show as a conceited Cathy who’s brought to a tragic end by thwarted love. Fennell pares away all the silly stuff that makes the novel a literary classic, and I’m rather enamored of her trashy mind. Also with Hong Chau, Shazad Latif, Martin Clunes, Ewan Mitchell, Charlotte Mellington, and Owen Cooper.

Zootopia 2 (PG) Not as good as the first one, I’m afraid. Judy Hopps and Nick Wilde (voiced by Ginnifer Goodwin and Jason Bateman) have to deal with a new case involving the family of snakes who founded the city and were screwed out of their inheritance by the mammals. Some of the jokes do land like they should, but the metaphors are not as resonant, and the new supporting characters aren’t as well drawn as they were in the original. The fraying partnership between our two cops doesn’t throw up anything new, either. There is a funny subplot with a TV actor stallion (voiced by Patrick Warburton) becoming Zootopia’s new mayor, but it’s not enough to recommend the film. Additional voices by Ke Huy Quan, Fortune Feimster, Andy Samberg, David Strathairn, Quinta Brunson, Danny Trejo, Nate Torrence, Don Lake, Bonnie Hunt, CM Punk, Stephanie Beatriz, Alan Tudyk, Macaulay Culkin, Brenda Song, Tiny Lister Jr., John Leguizamo, Tommy Chong, Auli’i Cravalho, Tig Notaro, Ed Sheeran, Cecily Strong, June Squibb, Michael J. Fox, Josh Gad, Idris Elba, and Jenny Slate.
