After airing four show-stopping episodes of The Penguin, Max is teasing the remaining episodes of The Batman spinoff with a mid-season trailer that takes us into the heart of an all-out war between some of Gotham City’s worst criminals. After some startling revelations, the promo finds Oz Cobb and Sofia Falcone at odds, with Sofa vowing to pluck Oz’s feathers and seize control of a broken city. You can cut the tension with a knife as Oz’s world falls to pieces, with loved ones and associates threatened by the Falcone and Maroni families. If I were the Penguin, I’d get the hell out of Dodge, but as we all know, Oz isn’t one to back out of a fight.
Speaking with The Penguin showrunner Lauren LeFranc, ScreenRant asked if fans could expect another season of the hit DC TV show. While nothing is concrete, LeFranc says there are more stories to tell using the Penguin‘s platform.
“Gotham is ripe to tell so many stories, the comics have shown that through decades and decades,” LeFranc told ScreenRant. “I love this version of Gotham too. I love all the characters that we’ve gotten to explore in this world. I think there’s always room for more of that. If the story can be even better, absolutely.”
Max’s mid-season teaser trailer for The Penguin gives me chills. I’ve followed the show since the jump and positively love it. I agree wholeheartedly with Alex Maidy’s 10/10 review and am thrilled to see many others enjoying it. When Max announced The Penguin, I didn’t know what to think. The character had a relatively minor role in Matt Reeves’ The Batman, though Colin Farrell’s transformation into Oz Cobb was undeniably remarkable. The Penguin allows Farrell to spread his wings, and Cristin Milioti’s Sofia Falcone is a revelation. Farrell and Milioti are powerhouses in The Penguin, and I’ve no idea how their confrontation will end.
The Penguin‘s mid-season trailer positions the rest of the season as a roller coaster ride of emotion, altercation, and action. Fans of the series should be extremely excited about what’s to come, and I can’t wait to check it out alongside everyone else.

Last year, it was announced that the 1987 cult classic horror comedy Street Trash (buy it HERE) would be getting a remake from Ryan Kruger, the director of the 2020 body horror film Fried Barry! Kruger’s take on the concept, which moves the story from Brooklyn to South Africa, is now ready to make its way out into the world, as a premiere screening will be held tonight at the New Beverly Cinema. Cineverse holds the North American distribution rights and they’re planning to release the film through the Screambox streaming service sometime in November. In anticipation of the premiere screening, a trailer for the remake has arrived online and can be seen in the embed above.
The original Street Trash was directed by J. Michael Muro from a screenplay by Roy Frumkes. Fourteen years ago, Frumkes said he was working on the script for Street Trash 2… but that sequel never made it into production. Thankfully, Muro and Frumkes are both involved with the remake. They served as executive producers alongside Bad Dragon and Vinegar Syndrome.
The Street Trash remake follows a group of homeless misfits as they fight for survival when they discover a plot to exterminate every homeless person in the city. Variety assured that this new take on the concept “stays true to the original plot — which chronicles the disgusting decay of New York wanderers after ingesting bottles of toxic alcohol — but expounds the gore to create a metaphor for something much larger.”
When the project was first announced, Kruger provided the following statement: “Our reimagining of Street Trash takes place in Cape Town, South Africa where the growing divide between rich and poor has changed the world as we know it. I was a huge fan of the original Street Trash when I was a kid, and I couldn’t be more thrilled to introduce a whole new generation to the melted gonzo goodness that made the original such a classic. While our reimagining features new, exciting plot elements that give the film many bizarre twists and turns, the core of the film lies with our diverse and unique cast of characters. As a director, I am very character centric and I can’t wait to see our strange and hilarious ensemble on screen together as they navigate the hostile streets of Cape Town. Our version of Street Trash will be raw, hilarious, packed with vibrant characters and multi-colored explosions of gooey greatness.“
Fans of the Shudder series The Last Drive-In with Joe Bob Briggs might point out the fact that Fried Barry and the original Street Trash have both been screened on that show – and it’s no coincidence, as the Street Trash remake is being produced by The Last Drive-In producers Justin Martell and Matt Manjourides of Not the Funeral Home. Cineverse’s Chris McGurk, Brandon Hill, Brad Miska, and Yolanda Macias also serve as executive producers. Production in South Africa was handled by Protagonist Studios and Stage Five Films.
