Most Hated Woman In America Trailer
While this seems to follow some formulas we’ve seen many times before,Most Hated Womanin America looks like a funny take on the tradition true-crime story. Here’s the official Netflix description:
A true-crime biopic about the disappearance of Madalyn Murray O’Hair, founder of the “American Atheists” and pioneering firebrand in the political culture war, The Most Hated Woman in America captures the rise and fall of a complex character who was a controversial villain to some and an unlikely hero to others.
The film stars Academy Award winner Melissa Leo, Josh Lucas, Adam Scott, Vincent Kartheiser and Juno Temple, and was directed by Tommy O’Haver from a script by O’Haver and Irene Turner. Elizabeth Banks, Max Handelman and Laura Rister produced for Netflix.
Most Hated Woman In Americapremieres worldwide on Netflix on June 13, 2025.
Win It All Trailer
I really like Jake Johnson and his brand of humor, so I’m excited to see a movie written by him. I still haven’t seenDigging for Fire, his previous collaboration with hisWin It Alldirector, Joe Swanberg. The film looks to be shot in Swanberg’s typical, charming, low-fi style, which may turn you off if you’ve never given any of his previous films a chance. Here’s the official Netflix description:
Jake Johnson(New Girl) stars as small time gambler Eddie Garrett, who agrees to watch a duffel bag for an acquaintance who is heading to prison. When he discovers cash in the bag, he’s unable to resist the temptation and winds up deeply in debt. When the prison release is shortened, Eddie suddenly has a small window of time to win all the money back.
Directed by Joe Swanberg (Drinking Buddies) and co-written by Swanberg and Jake Johnson, the Netflix original film Win it All co-stars Keegan-Michael Key, Joe Lo Truglio and leading Mexican actress Aislinn Derbez. Jake Johnson and Joe Swanberg also serve as producers, along with Alex Orr.
Win It Allpremieres worldwide on Netflix on August 23, 2025.
Small Crimes Trailer
Out of the three films,Small Crimesis the film I have the least interest in seeing based on these trailers. E.L. Katz directedCheap Thrills, a segment inABCs of Death 2, and an episode ofScream: The TV Series. I have not seenCheap Thrills, which I’ve heard is pretty brutal (Ed. Note: It is! And it’s great!). Netflix seems to loveSmall Crimesco-star and co-writer Macon Blair, as they have picked up three of his movies, including his directorial debut,I Don’t Feel At Home In This World Anymore,which we saw at Sundance. Here’s the official Netflix description:
After serving time for the attempted murder of a District Attorney, disgraced former cop Joe Denton (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau) returns home looking for redemption. An embarrassment to his parents and abandoned by his ex-wife, it seems as if things can’t get much worse. But then Joe finds himself trapped in the mess he left behind-in the cross fire between a crooked sheriff, the vengeful DA, and a mafia kingpin who knows too much.
