“When we were young, we used to go to double features! Now, these drug-addled Gen-Zers cant even sit through one whole film.” Mubi has revealed the trailer for a “chaotic, darkly comedic” film titled Junk, with a series of stories set in Los Angeles marking the feature directorial debut of music video filmmaker Jack Begert. After nearly three years of waiting in limbo, Mubi is finally releasing it. Junk initially premiered at the 2024 Sundance Film Festival under the title Little Death, getting intensely negative reviews calling it one of worst films at the fest that year. They’re trying to cover all that up with a title change and hope that releasing it as Junk will get more people to watch it. Doubt it. Nighttime in LA: a pill-addled screenwriter struggles with writer’s block; across town, two young drifters with a lost dog search for their stolen car. A slacker odyssey through LA after dark. The life of a bitter & misogynistic screenwriter intersects with the story of two addicts on an odyssey trying to find a stolen backpack. Starring David Schwimmer, Dominic Fike, Talia Ryder, Jena Malone, and Gaby Hoffmann. A wacky trailer for a very wacky film – have fun. // Continue Reading ›
