‘Thunderbolts*’

Florence Pugh leads a motley team of D-list antiheroes in a film that mixes self-deprecating jokes and mental health concerns, relying on deep knowledge of obscure characters to make sense of the MCU.
‘Friendship’

The cult star Tim Robinson brings his masochistic cringe comedy to an irreverent but scattershot satire. He plays a geek, befriended by weatherman Paul Rudd, in a conceit stretched to feature length.
‘Clown in a Cornfield’
