Mario Garcia wrote and directed The Throwback, a comedy that chronicles the lives of Kate, played by Justina Machado, and Matt Morgan, played by Will Sasso. They are a middle-aged couple deeply engrossed in raising their kids, Zach and Jordy, while entangled in the web of monotonous routines and personal stagnation.

Kate experiences a post-traumatic breakdown after a bank robbery, thrusting her back to her college years with no recollection of the past 26. 

As Matt steps up to navigate household duties and school volunteering, Kate grapples with the fact she’s a 19-year-old in a 45-year-old body, discovering that nostalgic Daisy Duke shorts no longer fit, cardio fails to work its magic, and trading a new minivan for a ’92 Mustang convertible is far from a game changer. Amidst the chaos, Kate’s reawakened libido resurrects her and Matt’s dormant sexual spark. 

Will Kate’s new awakening keep her family and husband continue to support Kate’s new awakening, or will Kate come to terms with her true identity?

“Música” Trailer, Freaturette, Storyline, Poster and Image

An untraditional romantic comedy that moves at an infectious beat, Música stars Rudy Mancuso, who based the film on his own experiences and serves as the film’s director, co-writer, composer and choreographer.  

Rudy Mancuso, a charismatic but directionless young street performer from Newark’s Ironbound neighborhood, has a unique view of the world. Thanks to a rare condition called synesthesia, he experiences everyday noises—from car horns to water droplets to doors slamming—as a series of complex rhythms. He struggles to keep the music in his head at bay, but it’s not so easily accomplished. 

When he’s not taking classes to finish his college degree or staging puppet performances for commuters on the streets of Ironbound’s close-knit Brazilian community, Rudy is trying to convince his girlfriend, Haley, played by Francesca Reale, that he will eventually figure things out. He lives with his mother, Maria, played by the actor’s real-life mother, Maria Mancuso, who wants her son to dump Haley and settle down with a lovely Brazilian girl from the neighborhood. Rudy also gets advice on life and love from his best friend, Anwar, played by J. B. Smoove, a food truck operator whose cultural identity morphs depending on where he parks his truck that day. 

Matters take a turn for the chaotic when a flying piece of frozen fish knocks out Rudy. The accident leads to an encounter with Isabella, played by Camila Mendes, a beautiful young Brazilian woman who works in the local fish market and may understand Rudy in ways nobody has ever done. In a love triangle, Rudy tries to balance his cultural heritage, the women in his life, and the música inside his head.

“Lisa Frankenstein” Trailers, Posters, Clips and Images

You may consider Lisa Frankenstein the funniest, goriest undead romance seen all year. 

Surviving high school is hard enough on its own—add in the trauma of your mom, an axe-murdered, in your living room, and it becomes virtually impossible to cope. 

Just ask Lisa Swallows, played by Kathryn Newton, the awkward 17-year-old trying to adjust to a new school and life after her mother’s demise and her father’s hasty remarriage. 

Despite the unwavering support offered by plucky cheerleader step-sister Taffy, played by Liza Soberano, Lisa only finds solace in the abandoned cemetery near her house. She finds her commonality with a young man who died in 1837, tending his grave.

But everything changes one dark and stormy night in the fall of 1989. After being humiliated, Lisa makes a desperate and heartfelt wish—to be with the young man in the world beyond. When a monstrous-looking corpse, played by Cole Sprouse, turns up the following evening, Lisa realizes a cosmic misunderstanding happened. 

Still, she feels obligated to help the poor soul regain his humanity, and she embarks on a quest to breathe new life into her long-dead companion. All she needs to succeed are some freshly harvested body parts and Taffy’s broken tanning bed.
