This week, we're spotlighting one of the most unexpected casting choices of the year: Paul Rudd and Tim Robinson in Friendship (2025). These two actors come from different comedy worlds, but together they create something awkward, emotional, and strangely magnetic.
We’ll talk about how their performances complement (and contrast) each other, why Robinson’s character makes us squirm, and how Rudd subtly shifts the tone from sweet to sinister. Is Austin just being friendly, or is there something more manipulative at play?
This isn’t your typical comedy — it's slow, tense, and incredibly human. Friendship turns suburban boredom into something thrilling. And if you haven’t seen it yet, we highly recommend checking it out on Afdah — one of the easiest ways to stream fresh indie releases right now.
