With Dominique Purdy • Paul Sapiano

Dmitri is a pizza guy who would rather smoke weed and suffer for his art, but his mom and his girl won’t stop nagging him to get a real job. When he’s offered a gig mouthing off to tourists behind the wheel of a Hollywood “star tour” bus, it looks like everyone might get what they want. Trouble is, our man can’t seem to step out the door to get to the interview without endless complications: busted radiators, simple weed scores gone sideways and LAPD cruisers seemingly everywhere. Dmitri’s skill at going unnoticed by cops is honed by painful experiences growing up Black in L.A., but even his keen survival instincts won’t save him from the week from hell.

With Jason Sudeikis • Gina Gershon • Dan Stevens • Rebecca Hall • Morgan Spector • Sarah Steele • Bridget Everett • Brian Crano • Francois Arnaud • David Joseph Craig

Focuses on a couple, Anna (Rebecca Hall) and Will (Dan Stevens), who were each other’s first every-things: first kiss, first love, first relationship. Now years on, at Anna’s thirtieth birthday party as Will is about to propose, the couple’s best friend stands up and makes a drunken toast, suggesting that as their relationship is so functional, equitable and stable, it’s threatening to their friends and perhaps they should sleep around before their inevitable marriage. The joke lingers and eventually Anna proposes that they try it, as a sexual experiment. As a couple, with complicity, they venture out of the purely monogamous boundaries of their relationship and in so doing are forced to evolve and grow up.

The Female Brain looks at the complications involved in modern romance. It zeroes in on neuro-psychiatrist Louann Brizendine’s research into how male and female brains process things at varying stages of a romance — the topics she explores range from the difference in how genders express emotions to their varying reactions to a bathroom remodel gone awry. Ultimately, Brizendine is forced to contend with a bias that she did not initially consider.

Bateman and McAdams star as Max and Annie, whose weekly couples game night gets kicked up a notch when Max’s charismatic brother, Brooks (Chandler), arranges a murder mystery party, complete with fake thugs and faux federal agents. So when Brooks gets kidnapped, it’s all part of the game…right? But as the six uber-competitive gamers set out to solve the case and win, they begin to discover that neither this “game”—nor Brooks—are what they seem to be.

With no rules, no points, and no idea who all the players are, this could turn out to be the most fun they’ve ever had…or game over.
