movie digests
Weekly digests on Dzen, in which I talked about movie and TV show news, and also discussed with the girls the new releases we'd watched last week
№6: Fantastic 4, The Weapons, Thursday Murder Club
We'll cover Viktor Pelevin's latest novel featuring alchemy and a grimoire, a mystical series starring Danila Kozlovsky, the biopic "Khoy" about the leader of the Gaza Strip, and the first cinematic universe about Dmitri Mendeleev. We'll also discuss the anime adaptation of Chekhov's "The Seagull" and major premieres: "Fantastic 4," the magical horror "Weapons," and the cozy detective "Thursday Murder Club."
№5: K-Pop Demon Hunters, The Naked Gun, The Newspaper
Cheburashka opens the "Bureau of Good Deeds" in a new 3D series from Soyuzmultfilm, Zakhar Prilepin and Vlad Malenko receive the "Book of the Year 2025" award, and Dan Brown releases "The Secret of Secrets" after an eight-year hiatus—and Netflix is already working on a film adaptation.
№4: F1, Superman and the Surgeon
Tartakovsky's animated film "Sterilized," Ari Aster's neo-Western "Eddington," the Russian drama "The Gods of Knorozov," and Netflix's record-breaking hit "K-Pop Demon Hunters." The episode also features "Furious: The Fast and the Furious," the new "Superman," the film "F1" with Brad Pitt, and the TV series "The Surgeon".
№3: Nanny Oksana, Alien Earth, and Wednesday
Get the popcorn ready! Coming up: a three-part documentary about the legendary Cherkizon on Okko, a biopic about the rebel Sinead O'Connor, a nostalgic remake of My Fair Nanny, and the series Hackers with Ivan Yankovsky.
№2: Bulgakov, 28 years later, Avatar, Dandadan and others
To mark the 100th anniversary of Bulgakov's "Heart of a Dog," an art edition with stunning covers was released, and Jason Momoa parted with his beard for his role in "Dune 3." Netflix is developing a new animated hit from the creator of "BoJack Horseman." Meanwhile, "The Devil Wears Prada" returns with Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, and Emily Blunt.
№1: Eterna, Fisher, And Just Like That — what new films are worth watching this summer?
The new fantasy series "Eterna"—what's good about it, and what's not quite up to par with the standard fantasy? Where can you buy a real Darth Vader lightsaber for millions of dollars? The second season of "Fisher"—why is it so good, and how is it reminiscent of "Hannibal"?
