A lot has changed for Jerrod Carmichael since his last HBO standup special, “Rothaniel” in 2022, where he revealed his unusual first name and the fact that he is gay.

We don’t talk enough about Leigh Janiak’s impressive “Fear Street” film trilogy, based the young adult horror novels by R.L. Stine. Four years ago Janiak unveiled, one week after another, three mostly-fantastic interconnected horror films inspired by different historical eras. The first was based on slasher movies from the 1990s. The second was based on slasher films from the 1980s. The third was based on folk horror… and also slasher movies from the 1990s. They all told a complete story with rich and fascinating characters.

‘Peak Everything’ Review: Offbeat Canadian Rom-Com Finds Love in the Face of the Apocalypse
At a Cannes Film Festival in which many films have taken on a dark and even apocalyptic tone, only one actually has the word apocalypse in the title — and it’s a romantic comedy. Maybe that’s the state of the world today, that the end of the world can even intrude on a boy-meets-girl scenario the way it does in French Canadian director Anne Émond’s “Amour apocalypse,” which also used the English title “Peak Everything” when it premiered in the Directors’ Fortnight sidebar at Cannes on Sunday. The film is the story of an unusual couple, but it’s also the…
