Ever felt like a fan who maybe got a little too close?

Lurker is the thrilling new feature debut from Alex Russell,

a writer and producer on The Bear and Beef.

It stars Theodore Pellaran from Bo As Afraid and Archie Medecki from Saltburn.

Matthew is a 20-something loner working retail in L.A.

when he crosses paths with rising pop star Oliver.

What starts as a chance encounter spirals into something darker

as Matthew edges his way into Oliver's world and struggles to stay there.

Critics are raving.

Vogue calls it one of the best movies of the year, riveting and disquieting.

The Hollywood Reporter says it's a wicked spin on the fame game. An indie wire calls it

a transfixing tale of LA Obsession Gone Arry. A paranoid, parasocial thriller set in the world

of fame, fandom, and the search for validation. Lurker is not to be missed. Lurker is now playing in select theaters and opens nationwide September 5th.

This is not the part of Zemmer where sleeves are working for me. There's not, I don't have very good AC here. And it's not that I think

that everyone's just like whistling at my biceps as I walk down the street. I'm just like I've

thrown in the towel on anything but comfort. Yeah, I think that's smart. Okay, so why don't you

introduce yourself? Sure. My name is Ryan Broderick. I write a newsletter called Garbage Day and I host a podcast called Panic World.
