The Sun Never Sets — Plus Trailers for Artificial, Remain, and You Can See Everything

The Sun Never Sets — Plus Trailers for Artificial, Remain, and You Can See Everything

Author: The MESH September 15, 2026 Duration: 1:04:44
Alan and Chris are back (finally, and a little behind schedule) with a review of The Sun Never Sets, the new film from writer-director Joe Swanberg starring Dakota Fanning, Jake Johnson, and Corey Michael Smith. Set against the Alaskan landscape, it follows a woman whose relationship with her older, divorced boyfriend hits a rough patch just as an old flame reappears in her life. The guys dig into the film, then flag a clearly marked spoiler section at the end if you'd rather wait. In the second half, three upcoming films get the trailer treatment. Artificial, Luca Guadagnino's OpenAI drama with Andrew Garfield as Sam Altman — dropped by Amazon, rescued by NEON, and arriving Christmas Day. Remain, the unlikely M. Night Shyamalan–Nicholas Sparks collaboration starring Jake Gyllenhaal, now repositioned from spooky October to Valentine's Day 2027. And You Can See Everything, the secretly shot, nearly three-hour Elizabeth Holmes documentary from Lance Oppenheim and Nathan Fielder that surprise-premiered at Telluride — and whose cast list raises some very interesting questions. Chris closes with his recommendation of the week: Louis Theroux: Inside the Manosphere on Netflix. Plus a reminder that the Footcandle Film Festival runs September 18–27 in Western North Carolina.

There's a particular kind of conversation about movies that often gets lost between the blockbuster buzz and the pressure to keep up with every new streaming release. Footcandle Films, from The MESH, exists for that conversation. This is a monthly space dedicated to the films that demand a bit more attention-the ones playing at the independent theater, the hidden gems you might have missed, or the older titles that have faded from popular memory but still have so much to say. Each episode centers on a deep, thoughtful review of one such film, pulling apart its craft and its ideas without rush. Alongside that main discussion, the hosts weave in relevant news from the film world and, perhaps most valuably, share personal recommendations meant to rekindle your interest in forgotten favorites or introduce you to something entirely new. The pace is deliberate, the tone is conversational, and the focus is always on the unique light that smaller films can cast. If your film diet feels a little too predictable, this podcast offers a monthly reminder of the richness waiting in the margins.
