Episode 594 - Primetime

This week, we’re talking Primetime (2026), the new thriller that takes us behind the scenes of television and into a world where ambition, celebrity, and obsession collide. We break down the film’s premise, the performances at the center of the story, and how effectively it builds tension as things begin to spiral out of control.

We also get into the movie’s darker ideas about fame and entertainment, its biggest surprises, and whether the story delivers on its intriguing setup. What worked, what didn’t, and does Primetime have something meaningful to say about our fascination with the people—and personalities—we see on screen?
