Brock Yurich spent ten years getting TEST made, and it looks like he spent a fair amount of that time at the gym too. He wrote the queer bodybuilding drama from his own life and stars in it. The film follows Eddie, a small-town competitor with a steroid habit, a devout mother who doubles as his manager (Tammy Blanchard), a secret cam-model side hustle and a growing thing for his coach, played by Mike Edward. Matthew Morrison plays the local pastor, because of course there’s a pastor.
TEST has been cleaning up on the festival circuit. It won the audience award at Provincetown, the jury award for outstanding first narrative feature at Frameline and an award at Queer Screen in Sydney. Dark Star Pictures is bringing it to U.S. and Canadian theatres in 2027. Instinct already called the two leads “completely smashable,” and um, agreed.

Arca’s XXXXX era has finally made it out of the factory and onto your screen. The “Fxck” video, directed by her go-to visual collaborator Daniel Sannwald, recuts footage from July’s two-hour Diva.Experimental livestream. Staged in an abandoned Barcelona factory, she performed this track covered in blood-red paint while spray-painting a canvas on the floor. Y,know – wholesome Thursday content type shit!
Arca‘s new album XXXXX is out now via XL Recordings. Check out ‘Fxck’ above!

Cameron Scoggins (Nashville) plays Officer Dorf in Crystal Lake, the Friday the 13th prequel from Peacock and A24, with Linda Cardellini as Pamela Voorhees.
Dorf wants the town to take him seriously as a cop. We take him very seriously. Check him out after the NSFW jump!
Kid Cudi is finally taking the role people have been asking him to play for years. The rapper and Entergalactic creator announced on Instagram that he’s written Jean, a Jean-Michel Basquiat film he’ll also direct and star in. Cameras are set to roll in 2027. He researched the film by reading books and talking to people who knew Basquiat. He also shared photos from an early wardrobe test, dreadlocked wig and all (he says it’s not the final wig, so be nice).
Cudi dedicated the film to “all those dreamers out there.” There’s no word yet on whether Basquiat’s estate is on board, and that could decide whether the real paintings make it on screen. Jeffrey Wright set the bar in Julian Schnabel’s 1996 Basquiat, so Cudi has a big canvas to fill.
Check out the wardrobe test after the jump! Thoughts?
Kate Berlant was seeing a few too many ghosts for a while. Amy hangs with the actress and comedian and talks about why you can’t have two class clowns in bed, if she’s a nepo baby, and why all curses should be lifted for free.
Comedian Leo Reich created, wrote and stars in IT GETS WORSE, a six-episode A24 comedy about three university friends in their mid-twenties.
Lena Dunham and Amelia Dimoldenberg pop up too, and Andrew Scott plays Ethan’s therapist. All six episodes drop on Channel 4 in the UK this Thursday, and Paramount+ has it in the US on November 6. In Canada it’s a Crave Original with no date yet… Ehm, Crave, we’re waiting!
Troye Sivan handed The New Yorker his syllabus for its Starter Pack series, and honestly, we’re taking notes.
Annie Ernaux’s A Simple Passion and Eve Babitz’s Slow Days, Fast Company belong in Troye’s tote. Movie night consists of films like The Favourite followed by Paris Is Burning, and his music tastes swing from Arthur Russell to Cornelius. Then there’s “Gay Guy Music Video Night,” which is exactly what it sounds like.
