Watchlist:

Jack Flex is broke, buff, and wildly delusional—but he’s got a dream: to sell his absurd invention, the Heavy Hat, on his mom’s favorite shopping channel. When a desperate producer gives him a shot, Jack’s web of lies—celebrity clients, Hollywood fame—starts to unravel. With just one week to turn fiction into fact, he sprints through L.A. in a chaotic quest for credibility, hope, and a shot at stardom.

Why you might like this:

The Trainer (2024), directed by Tony Kaye, is a wildly funny and delusional comedy that blends absurdist humor with heartfelt themes of ambition and self-discovery. Starring Vito Schnabel in a hilariously over-the-top performance, the film follows a broke but buff inventor's chaotic quest to sell his absurd 'Heavy Hat' creation on his mom's shopping channel, leading to a web of lies and a desperate scramble for credibility. Kaye's distinctive style and the film's zany energy make it a must-see for fans of offbeat, genre-blending comedies.
