For 25 years, the Tribeca Festival has been known for reuniting the cast and crews of some of the greatest films ever made — classics such as Taxi Driver, Scarface, and Schindler’s List. But at Dropout and Vulture’s “Improvised Reunion for a Movie that Doesn’t Exist,” one of the highlights of Vulture Festival at Tribeca Festival, a gathering was held for one of the greatest films never made. That movie was The Sound of the Squid, as invented on the fly by Dropout stars Brennan Lee Mulligan, Izzy Roland, Zac Oyama, and Lou Wilson, who were in conversation with Blank Check podcast host Griffin Newman. The improvisers played the film’s writer, producer, and stars; the director, we learned, is in prison. This panel was recorded live at the SVA Theater in New York on June 14, 2026 as part of Vulture Festival at Tribeca Festival.
"THANK YOU, Zach Creggar!" Back in 2022, this now established star in the horror film genre gave us the quirkily creepy, unexpectedly funny (at times!) cinematic gem that was "Barbarian". It felt like a cool breeze just washed over us as, for ONCE, the much traversed roads these films tend to go with got an upgrade of uniqueness without sacrificing the ambiance of uneasiness you desire.
Suppressed intergenerational family trauma and healing, warm welcome to the Marvel Cinematic Universe team, and Awkwafina's humor really make this film the real MVP.
People are so much deeper and far more extraordinary than what gender they were assigned at birth.
Rules are nowhere to be seen in the harsh unfiltered reality of ‘Fair Play.’
Tran Quoc Bao succeeds in telling us a story about martial arts, human decay, and friendship. The originality shown by his filmmaking is admirable and brings fresh air to the classic Chinese martial arts genre.
