We're back with another bonus preview from TIFF 2026, and this one's got a title we're not going to be able to say on some podcast directories. Everybody Wants to Fuck Me is the feature debut of writer-director Jonathan Schey, and it stars Taron Egerton as Adam, a London softboi running the full nice-guy playbook: love-bombing, performative sensitivity, and then ghosting women the morning after. Then a night with a mysterious stranger flips the premise on its head, and every woman he meets suddenly wants him, inescapably and with mounting menace. Literally.

Jessica Henwick, Mia McKenna-Bruce, Charly Clive and Sophie Simnett round out the cast, and the film slides from sex comedy into paranoia thriller and briefly body horror along the way. It picked up strong word of mouth out of Toronto and sparked early reports of a bidding war, though as of our last check nobody's actually bought it yet. Studiocanal already has the UK, with a 2027 release pencilled in and no firm date. This one's going to sit on the shelf a while, but we wanted to get our thoughts down before Toronto fades from memory. And it's one you should have on your radar.

Serge Bodnarchuk of Cold Crash Pictures joins Conrad on this episode for a spoiler-free bonus review of Mike Flanagan's new eight-part streaming series adaptation of Stephen King's Carrie, which lands on Amazon Prime on Friday 7 October.

Flanagan is no stranger to King adaptations, having tackled Gerald's Game, Doctor Sleep and The Life of Chuck, but it seemed an odd move to take on the author's first novel – one that already yielded a celebrated Brian De Palma film in 1976, as well as several less-than-celebrated remakes.

The new production features Summer H. Howell as Carrie White, Samantha Sloyan as her doomsday prepper mother, Margaret White (you'll remember Sloyan from Flanagan's Midnight Mass – probably with a shudder), Siena Agudong as schoolmate Sue Snell, Alison Thornton as the bully Chris Hargensen, and Matthew Lillard as the school principal. We all know roughly how prom night goes, but from episodes 1 and 2, we're mostly excited about how much Flanagan will find to say on the way there...

Odd Thomas (2013) was Stephen Sommers' first film in 4 years and his first outside the studio-blockbuster machine since 1998's Deep Rising, a curious pivot for the man who built The Mummy franchise and Van Helsing on the twin pillars of CGI and momentum. Adapting Dean Koontz's bestselling 2003 novel, the first of what became a 7-book series, Sommers wrote the screenplay entirely on spec, gambling that it might be the only way to win over an author famously sceptical of what Hollywood tends to do to his work, and secured the late Anton Yelchin as his lead.

The result is less monster-movie spectacle than small-town ghost-whisperer romance with a body count: Odd is a short-order cook in the fictional desert town of Pico Mundo who can see the dead... as well as the invisible creatures that flock to scenes of impending violence. When those harbingers of doom start swarming a stranger in unprecedented numbers, Odd and his girlfriend Stormy have to work out what's coming before it arrives. Where the story goes from there, in a film so preoccupied with fate and free will, is best left for you to find out. But does the film deserve to escape the Oubliette? Find out!
