Welcome to B.H.โs Screen Time, where every week, weโll give you the cliff notes on whatโs happening in the entertainment industry. From various stages of development chatter and our take on the newest releases, to a fun throwback worth revisiting, think of it as an insiderโs digest meets movie club.
Coming Soon
It was only a matter of time before Almost Friday TV broke containment from their already considerable online fame to produce even bigger and better comedic entertainment. Though granted, a good deal of their sketches have always been oddlyโฆ cinematic.
According to Deadline, the beloved branch of Almost Friday Media โ the content network founded by the Barrett brothers circa 2019, which itself emerged from the viral @friday.beers Instagram account โ has developed a television series dubbed Last Night Was A Movie with some heavyweight partners.
Chief among them are JD Lifshitz and Raphael Margules of BoulderLight Picturesโ renown (Companion, Zach Creggerโs Barbarian and now the much-hyped Weapons); the duo reportedly conceived of this projectโs early concept before bringing it to the Almost Friday crew. BoulderLight Television president Benjamin Purdy also had a hand in this one.
The other interesting parties of note include Tony Yacenda and Dan Perrault: the creators of Netflixโs Peabody Award-winning mockumentary series American Vandal, who have signed on to serve as showrunners and executive producers. Almost Fridayโs Tyler Falbo, however, is being credited as the creator.
Every member of the Almost Friday troupe โ Billy Langdon, Liam Cullagh, Chet Collins, Eilise Patton, and Will Angus โ will be involved in writing and producing the series.
At the time of this writing, neither a series outline, release date, nor home has been confirmed for Last Night Was A Movie. Multiple buyers are currently circling โ including Netflix, FX, HBO, and Peacock โ with written offers from the latter two. Given Yacenda and Perraultโs existing relationship with Netflix, we wouldnโt be surprised if it ended up at the crimson N.
Transitioning from โThe Boys Are Back In Townโ energy to just The Boys, as the flagship series prepares to wrap up its five-season run, Amazon Prime Video has just unveiled a first-look gallery of the forthcoming prequel series Vought Rising.
Franchise developer Eric Kripke and spin-off showrunner Paul Grellong have described this one as a โtwisted murder mystery about the origins of Vought in the 1950s, the early exploits of Soldier Boy (Jensen Ackles), and the diabolical manoeuvres of a Supe known to fans as Stormfront (Aya Cash), who was then going by the name Clara Vought.โ
Ackles and Cash, who reprise their respective roles, are joined by Mason Dye as Bombsight, Will Hochman as Torpedo, Elizabeth Posey as Private Angel, along with KiKi Layne, Jorden Myrie, Nicolรฒ Pasetti, Ricky Staffieri, and Brian J. Smith.
Vought Rising release date: August 22nd, 2025.
And rounding out this weekโs edition of Screen Time, we have the upcoming Netflix drama Steve starring the Academy Award-winning Cillian Murphy.
Following the artistic tradition of Ryan Goslingโs Half Nelson and yet another Best Actor recipient in Adrien Brody for Detachment, Murphy portrays the titular headteacher at a last-chance reform school for kids with behavioural issues.
โAs Steve fights to protect the schoolโs integrity and impending closure, we witness him grappling with his own mental health. In parallel to Steveโs struggles, we meet Shy (Jay Lycurgo), a troubled teen caught between his past and what lies ahead as he tries to reconcile his inner fragility with his impulse for self-destruction and violence,โ reads the official logline.
Steve reunites Cillian Murphy with Small Things Like These director Time Mielants, and has been adapted for screens by Max Porter (author of the 2023 novella this is based on). Tracey Ullman, Simbi Ajikawo, and Emily Watson also appear.
Steve release date: September 19th, 2025, for select theatres | October 3rd, 2025, for streaming.
Product Place We Can Get Behind
Weโre still thinking about this gorgeous Braun Wandanlage stereo system featured in the second season of Apple TV+โs Severance.
Designed in the 1960s by famed industrial mastermind Dieter Rams, the wall-mounted hi-fi unit comes equipped with a TG60 tape recorder, TS45 amplifier, L450 speakers, PCS 5 turntable, as well as vintage Vitsoe e-tracks/shelving.
One of these bad boys can set you back more than AU$50,000. Small wonder why Severance season 2 reportedly cost Apple around US$20 million per episode.
They Donโt Make โEm Like They Used Toโฆ
For the most part, music biopics blow chunks. That is, of course, with the key exception of Miloลก Formanโs Amadeus.
Based on the 1979 stage play of the same name (which itself was inspired by Alexander Pushkinโs 1830 play Mozart & Salieri), this is a brilliant depiction of artistic obsession and an intense rivalry between historical greats. One that benefits from its flashback and unreliable narrator story structure.
Framed by the confessions of the disciplined and determined Antonio Salieri (F. Murray Abraham) โ who resents Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (Tom Hulce) for both his hedonistic lifestyle and his undeniable talent โ this is essentially a dramatic portrait of how the religious Salieri gradually became consumed by his own jealousy; and devoted himself to his rivalโs very downfall, culminating in a โdevious scheme that has dire consequences for both men.โ
The proof was truly in the pudding with this classic flick. Box office success aside, Amadeus took home 40 of the 53 awards it was nominated for: eight Academy Awards (including Best Picture and Best Director), four BAFTA Awards, four Golden Globe Awards (including Best Motion Picture โ Drama and Best Director), as well as a Directors Guild of America Award for Outstanding Directing โ Feature Film.
