Soon-to-be-a-dad Michael makes a last-ditch effort to save his longtime but addicted friend Chris from a foreseeable drug related death. Visiting Chris and handcuffing him to an exposed plumbing pipe, Michael forces his buddy into detox, but while watching over his friend he also discovers that all is not right within the territory Chris has drifted into.

Exclusive: Earlier this year, in Steven Soderbergh‘s annual Seen, Read list—where the filmmaker details everything he watched or read in the year—the “Contagion” and ‘Oceans’ trilogy director unveiled a new venture he shot called “The Pendulum Project.” What is it exactly? Well, Soderbergh didn’t say, but his Seen, Read list did reveal the enterprise was a TV series, making it the third film or TV project he shot in 2022, alongside “Magic Mike’s Last Dance” and the HBO Max mini-series “Full Circle.”

So, what is it exactly?

Welcome back to a new Let’s Scare Bryan to Death, where we’re diving into a freaky whirlpool of addiction, cosmic horror, and meta discussions about storytelling as we explore Justin Benson and Aaron Moorhead’s debut feature, Resolution. Joining me for this surreal journey is Philip Yount, a graphic designer, metalhead, and cosmic horror enthusiast whom you likely know from the great Dead Ringers podcast (regulars may remember we had founder/co-host Nolan McBride on for a discussion on Lake Bodom). You can also catch Philip on his Twitch channel, where he’s likely painting fantasy miniatures or playing the odd game or two.

It was actually while guesting on a recent episode of Dead Ringers that I revealed myself to be unacquainted with the work of Monsieurs Benson and Moorhead, and since I’d already been looking for an excuse to chat with Philip about a movie...

Welcome to this review of this past Monday’s episode of WWE Raw, right here on Nerdly. This is the “season premiere” for Raw (though it’s never off TV), which means something of a reboot for the show… so let’s see what went down this week!

Match #1: Johnny Gargano def. Austin Theory The following is courtesy of wwe.com:

In the height of a hard-fought, deeply personal matchup against Austin Theory, Johnny Gargano delivered an earth-shattering kick to the youngest Mr. Money in the Bank in WWE history to knock his opponent outside the ring. Then, after charging through the ropes to to follow up with another Ddt onto the ringside floor, Gargano hit one final Ddt in the ring for the three-count.

Cavemen is a romantic comedy about how – with a little help from our friends – true love isn’t as evasive as it seems. During a recent press day for the film, I spoke with stars Skylar Astin, Camilla Belle, Chad Michael Murray and director Herschel Faber about filming a love story in La… and just who has the sweetest dance moves out of the bunch. Check it out below.

Cavemen follows La playboy Dean (Skylar Astin) who is fed up with one-night-stands and empty relationships and realizes that he wants something more out of life than just a party. With a little inspiration from his nine-year-old nephew and his best friend Tess (Camilla Belle), Dean decides to try his hand at finding true love for the first time – which proves to be much more difficult than he thought in modern-day Los Angeles.

Cavemen is written and directed by Herschel Faber,...

After a VOD and limited theatrical release earlier this year, Resolution is headed to Blu-ray, DVD, and digital platforms on October 8th.

“In an abandoned cabin on the edge of an Indian reservation, Mike (Peter Cilella) stages a risky intervention to force his friend Chris (Vinny Curran) off meth and into rehab. But what begins as an attempt to save his friend’s life takes an unexpected turn when ominous threats start appearing around the house – and they realize that Chris’s addictions are the least of their worries. One of the most talked-about discoveries of last year’s festival circuit, Resolution is genre-bending horror at its most bone-chilling.”

Resolution was directed by Justin Benson and Aaron Scott Moorhead, and stars Peter Cilella, Vinny Curran, Kurt David Anderson, Emily Montague, Skyler Meacham, and Zahn McClarnon. The movie will be released on DVD, as well as a Blu-ray/DVD combo pack.

Synopsis

Michael (Peter Cilella) is committed to getting his best friend Chris (Vinny Curran) to sober up and get his life back on track. But what begins as an attempt to save his friend’s life quickly takes an unexpected turn as the two friends confront personal demons, the consequences of past actions, and forces beyond their control. Expertly balancing dark humor with genuine thrills and unexpected pathos, Resolution is an utterly unique cinematic experience that defies genre classification.

Michael is committed to getting his best friend Chris to sober up and put his life back on track. But what begins as an attempt to save his friend’s life quickly takes an unexpected turn as the two friends confront personal demons, the consequences of past actions, and forces beyond their control.

Here is an early preview of an upcoming independent thriller titled Resolution. The plotline is as follows: a drug addicted friend, Chris (Vinny Curran) is helped by Michael (Peter Cilella), when Chris has reached rock bottom because of his addictions. A forced drug withdrawal is the prescribed order of the day. Then, something mysterious begins to take place. A spirit seems to haunt the premise, demanding a "story." Strange tapes and pictures turn up, as Michael searches for answers to bizarre comings and goings.

Resolution was completed with a modest budget, under a 100K and the film stars Peter Cilella, Zahn McClarnon (Repo Chick) and Bill Oberst Jr. (A Haunting in Salem) . A release date has not been announced, but horror fans of indies will enjoy the first trailer for the film below. However, this is a restricted clip for strong language, drug use and tone. Those over eighteen proceed...

Richard Castle's (Nathan Fillion) ex-wife, Gina (Monet Mazur) introduces his new and last book, but we don't know she's his ex yet and that she's also his publisher too. Small world. Castle in the meantime is busy demonstrating his true character by signing autograph's on women's chests. He's ending the Derek Storm mysteries series his final book, Storm Fall. (Referring to the death of his famous character, earmarking the death for any literary career when that happens!) Though as he explains to his daughter, Alexis (Molly C Quinn) he's grown tired of him as he knows everything the character's thinking and he doesn't like that. (Pedantically, he would know what the character's thinking, he's writing him!) At least Castle doesn't live vicariously through his characters! Meanwhile Det Kate Beckett (Stana Katic) investigates the murder of a woman covered in rose petals over her body and daisies over her eyes.
