What a week—so many choices, so little time. This episode of FOMO Fix dives into some of the buzziest new releases and helps you figure out what’s worth watching.

On Hype Check, I’m joined by film critic Shilajit Mitra to break down our first-day-first-show reactions to Thug Life, the much-anticipated Kamal Haasan–Mani Ratnam collaboration. It starts off with promise, but let’s just say things go south after the interval.

Then on TV Gold, I spotlight Mountainhead, Jesse Armstrong’s razor-sharp satire on tech billionaires. It’s dark, hilarious, and deeply relevant. If Succession met Black Mirror at a Silicon Valley retreat, this would be the outcome.

Also in this week’s heads up:

• Tourist Family, a refugee drama that refuses to lean into trauma and instead delivers warmth, humor, and hope.

• Stolen, a lean and tense thriller set over one unforgettable night. It’s tightly made, hard-hitting, and leaves a mark.
