When comedian Chloe Radcliffe cheated on a boyfriend for the first time, as a sophomore at Minnesota’s Gustavus Adolphus College in 2009, she had an epiphany.
“You realize you don’t burst into flames. The person that you’re cheating on doesn’t find out,” Radcliffe explains. “You can still care about them; you can care about multiple people at once.”
Eventually, when Radcliffe resolved to end this relationship, she was surprised to learn that the request could be shut down out of hand. “I think I learned very early that it would be easier to cheat and get away with it than it would be to end a relationship when it was ready to be ended,” she says, “and so I developed this pattern of staying in relationships too long and just cheating, rather than getting out of them.”
So began a years-long pattern of infidelity that Radcliffe chronicles in Cheat,...

His “retirement” a decade ago didn’t last. It couldn’t possibly. Steven Soderbergh is just too curious, too prolific, and far too in love with the work — the process of assembling a team to complete a herculean task, in particular — to hang it up. It’s a big reason why the 60-year-old filmmaker and television creator is a massive fan of Bravo’s Below Deck, about the crew of a charter yacht catering to its filthy rich clients’ impossible whims, and also why he’s constantly innovating. Over the past decade,...

Get in touch to send in cinephile news and discoveries. For daily updates follow us @NotebookMUBI.NEWSOn July 13, SAG-AFTRA issued a strike order, joining the WGA, who have been striking since May. In an incendiary speech, the guild’s president, Fran Drescher, said: “SAG-AFTRA negotiated in good faith and was eager to reach a deal that sufficiently addressed performer needs, but the AMPTP’s responses to the union’s most important proposals have been insulting and disrespectful of our massive contributions to this industry…Until they do negotiate in good faith, we cannot begin to reach a deal.” This Vulture Q&a with Jonathan Handel, author of Hollywood on Strike!: An Industry at War in the Internet Age, delves into the details of the work stoppage.Applications are open for Open City Documentary Festival & Another Gaze’s third annual critics’ workshop, which will take place in early September during the festival.

Director Steven Soderbergh has never really been a fan of orthodoxy, and his idiosyncratic approach to his own work was on full display Sunday night when he launched his latest project, sci-fi series Command Z, at the Metrograph in New York. The Michael Cera-starring dystopian narrative, inspired by Kurt Andersen’s book Evil Geniuses: The Unmaking of America: A Recent History, was shown as part of a “secret screening” for members of the downtown theater.
Soderbergh followed the screening with a Q&a with Florida Representative Maxwell Frost, the first Gen Z congressman, explaining to the audience, “I don’t really want to talk about the show,” and instead quizzing Frost about how he stays hopeful. “How do we convince people to not give up?” Soderbergh asked Frost, who in turn discussed his path to politics and his work organizing.

"You put a wormhole in a washing machine?" Oh this looks cool. Steven Sodebergh revealed a surprise new series that he created in secret on his own dime that will be released for free on his own website. It's called Command Z, a reference to the keyboard command to "undo" (on Apple computers). Also known as The Pendulum Project while in development. The series is about a group of three people in the future who are tasked with using a wormhole time machine to travel back to 2023 and "inhabit" people as voices inside of their head. Their mission: to stop America from turning to the worst and prevent the dystopian future that lies ahead, since 2023 is the last time in which we can do this. It seems Soderbergh is really upset about how terrible America has become, too. Starring Michael Cara, Roy Wood Jr., Chloe Radcliffe, J.J. Maley, Zoe Winters,...

“This is historic — literally.”
At least, that’s what a digital Michael Cera says at the start of the trailer for Steven Soderbergh’s upcoming sci-fi comedy series, “Command Z.” The “Ocean’s 11″-through-“13” director has rounded up Cera, Roy Wood Jr., Chloe Radcliffe and Liev Schreiber for a post-apocalyptic look back at the year 2023, as they traverse into the past by putting a wormhole in a washing machine.
The new series follows Soderbergh’s recent Max noir series “Full Circle,” starring Claire Danes and Zazie Beetz, which premiered on July 13. “Command Z” is set to premiere July 17 and will be available on Soderbergh’s website, Extension765.com.
“Here’s the funny part. Traversing our wormhole involves ingesting a synthetic substance related to psychedelics and playing the theme song from the movie ‘Mahogany,’” says the Ozian Cera. He leads Wood Jr., Radcliffe and Schreiber on a series of missions, hacking...
