Coyote vs Acme almost never made it to theatres, and Steve Stebbing explains the strange decision behind that near miss, along with two other movies worth the weekend and three shows worth catching up on before fall premieres take over.

A Film Nobody Was Supposed to See

Coyote vs Acme tested well with audiences and still got shelved by a studio executive Steve isn't shy about naming, until another company stepped in to rescue it. He also breaks down Dog Stars, a slow-burn Ridley Scott film he actually liked despite the reviews, and Idiots, a raunchy road-trip comedy leaning hard into R-rated territory.

What's Actually Worth Streaming Right Now

Whisperman brings Adam Scott and Robert De Niro into a town haunted by a killer who may have had help, while Dark Matter's second season pits its lead against a version of himself from another reality. Adults season two rounds things out with a cast of unknowns carrying sharper writing than expected.
