Friendship Turns Fixation: Bizarre Comedy Hits Streaming

As 2025 has shaped up to be a banner year for film, several must-see releases have hit streaming platforms, allowing movie-lovers to catch up on the best of the year.

One such film is Friendship, a dark comedy that has been earning high praise. The movie follows marketing executive Craig Waterman (Tim Robinson) as he struggles with social interactions, only to become fixated on his charismatic new neighbor, Austin Carmichael (Paul Rudd). Blending absurdist humor and off-kilter jokes, Friendship offers a unique look at the challenges that often befall adult male friendships, with standout performances from both Robinson and Rudd.

Another standout is Superman 2025, a brand-new take on the iconic superhero. Newcomer David Corenswet shines as the Man of Steel, who must confront a threat from his arch-nemesis Lex Luthor (Nicholas Hoult) as well as a shocking revelation from his home planet of Krypton. Director and screenwriter James Gunn's signature mix of humor and heart makes this a fitting tribute to the All-American hero.

Finally, the horror-western-gangster film hybrid Sinners has been breaking box office records. Set in 1932, the film follows criminal brothers Elijah "Smoke" and Elias "Stack" Moore (played by Michael B. Jordan in a dual role) as they return to their roots in the Mississippi delta to open a juke joint, only to be confronted by dark forces. Proving that adult audiences will show up for an original, R-rated film, Sinners is a well-crafted piece of pure Hollywood entertainment.
