Be honest: are you someone who hates frou-frou art films? Does the term “independent movie” make you frown because all you can think about are characters having boring conversations about their equally boring lives? Most of all, do you think the filmmakers behind these movies are pretentious young idiots who are way too full of themselves? In that case, I’ve got the perfect indie film for you: I Blame Society (2020). This is a movie where a young filmmaker is struggling to get her first real film off the ground before she finds her new focus…murder. Specifically, making a movie about what it would take to become a great serial killer.

This is prompted by a “compliment” she once received that she’d make a great killer (director Gillian Wallace Horvat once received the same compliment). She takes the subject a little too seriously, though, because in her mind, pulling off a perfect murder and making a perfect film require very similar skills. Thus, she engages in an increasingly unhinged, darkly funny descent into madness. Of course, the film explores the intersection between madness and genius as it skewers everything about modern moviemaking. Now that scary films Obsession and Backrooms are tearing it up at the box office, this is the perfect time to watch I Blame Society, the ultimate satire of modern horror moviemaking.

Sex, Drugs, And Doc’n’Roll

The basic premise of I Blame Society is that a character (played by writer/director Gillian Wallace Horvat) is trying to make a movie about how to become the perfect serial killer. What we are watching is the documentary she has created, making the whole thing feel caught somewhere between found footage horror and creative confessional. The character chronicles her increasingly transgressive crimes, like shoplifting and stalking. Eventually, she kills someone more or less accidentally. Instead of repenting and turning herself in, however, she leans in, perfecting the art of moviemaking by perfecting the art of murder, one victim at a time.

On paper, I Blame Society has many of the hallmarks of traditional indie movies: a crazy premise, an ongoing gimmick, and a young auteur at the center, holding it altogether. If you’re not a fan of indie films, though, why should you give this one a shot? The first reason is that its unconventional premise makes for a fairly compelling horror movie. Your mileage may vary, but I always find it scarier when a cinematic killer is completely nonchalant about the lives they are destroying, like Joe Keery in Spree. Horvat is the same in I Blame Society, and her performance alternates between amusingly deranged and utterly chilling.

Lights, Camera, Slashing

Additionally, I Blame Society is interesting because it relentlessly skewers many of the stupider things about Hollywood. For example, our protagonist has a meeting with two male producers who try to pass themselves off as woke but are soon revealed to be idiotic hypocrites. This scene, like many others, works because it tackles a hot-button issue in a way that different groups will find engaging. For example, progressive audiences will like this scene because it portrays the difficulties female filmmakers must navigate in a male-dominated industry. Conservative audiences, meanwhile, will enjoy this scene for how it portrays wokeness as a cynical marketing technique rather than a sincerely held belief.

If you like psychological thrillers, it’s also bizarrely compelling to watch our main character’s descent into madness and murder. Because we are watching the documentary, she is in charge of the narrative, and the movie trusts the audience to decide for themselves how increasingly deranged the protagonist is getting. This transforms her into the unreliable narrator of her own story; again, your mileage may vary, but I loved this because it challenged me to separate objective truth from her subjective self-perception. Plus, it’s wonderfully meta: I Blame Society is Gillian Wallace Horvat’s feature film debut, and she created a story about how getting away with murder is easier than getting a movie deal.

First Degree Auteur

It helps that Horvat gives such a great performance in the film. It’s convincing because it’s based partially on lived experiences: not only does she know all about the difficulties of getting a movie off the ground, but she actually received the “you’d make a great killer” comment in real life. She made a movie about how difficult it is to make a movie, featuring herself as a deranged person who thinks she’s actually a creative genius. Along the way, she dragged Hollywood with some of the most hilariously satirical caricatures this side of Dante’s Inferno.

I Blame Society isn’t a perfect film: it relies perhaps too much on its premise, and it will grate on anyone who hates found footage horror or the caricatures she populates the movie with. However, those caricatures help her create the freshest cinematic satire in years, all while Horvat gives a powerhouse performance both in front of the camera and behind it. Plus, you get to watch her stalk and slaughter her way through Los Angeles in what had to be a bleakly cathartic release for the filmmaker. If you’re looking for your own catharsis, it’s just a click away: I Blame Society is currently streaming for free on Tubi. 

I BLAME SOCIETY REVIEW SCORE

TL;DR: Sign up for a 7-day free trial of Apple TV+ through Prime Video Channels to watch select F1 races for free. Watch the Barcelona-Catalunya GP for free with the Prime Video app.

The Monaco GP is obviously a special race weekend, but the actual racing can be lame. I’m glad we’re returning to a circuit that actually allows for the occasional overtake.

The big question is whether any team can bridge the gap to Mercedes this season. Could we start to see the tide change at the Barcelona-Catalunya GP? I’m hoping we get some competitive performances from McLaren and Ferrari.

If you want to watch F1 2026 for free from anywhere in the world, we’ve got all the information you need.

When is the Barcelona-Catalunya GP?

The Barcelona-Catalunya GP is the seventh race of the 2026 F1 season. Here’s the full schedule from the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya:

• Practice 1 — 7:30-8:30 a.m. ET on June 12

• Practice 2 — 11 a.m. to 12 p.m. ET on June 12

• Practice 3 — 6:30-7:30 a.m. ET on June 13

• Qualifying — 10-11 a.m. ET on June 13

• Race — 9 a.m. ET on June 14

Fans can follow all the action from this race weekend without spending anything.

How to watch the Barcelona-Catalunya GP for free

I subscribe to Amazon Prime. I gladly hand over my cash for the fast shipping, exclusive Prime Day deals, and access to Prime Video. The access to Prime Video is not all that important to me. I occasionally watch the Champions League and NBA, but it’s not a priority.

That was until I found out about F1 coming to Apple TV.

It is now possible to sign up for a seven-day free trial of Apple TV+ through Prime Video Channels. F1 is exclusive to Apple TV in the U.S., so by accessing this free trial, you can watch select races for free this season. The subscription costs £9.99 per month after the trial ends, but you can cancel this automatic renewal at any time.

By cancelling ahead of the renewal, you can watch the Barcelona-Catalunya GP this weekend without spending anything.

I already pay for Amazon Prime, so I understand the argument that I’m not really watching for free. I get that, but Amazon Prime does offer a 30-day free trial period if you’re new to the service. By signing up for this free trial and then gaining access to Apple TV through Prime Video Channels, you can truly watch select races for free this season.

Already used this hack to watch a race this season? It’s not your only option right now.

My recommendation is you go direct to Apple TV. This popular steaming service comes with a seven-day free trial for new subscribers. Alternatively, Apple One bundles Apple TV with Apple Music, Apple Arcade, Apple Fitness Plus, Apple News Plus, and 50GB of iCloud Storage for $19.95 per month after a one-month free trial.

The best Apple TV free-trial offer comes with purchases of new Apple devices. New subscribers can get three months of Apple TV for free after purchasing any eligible Apple product. If you’re planning on upgrading to something from the Apple lineup in Memorial Day sales, you could gain access to Apple TV for a pretty large chunk of this season. You will obviously need to buy something, but if you were already in the market for an upgrade, this method makes a lot of sense.

If you’re not a gamer, it’s difficult to describe just how much anticipation has built up over the upcoming release of Grand Theft Auto 6, some 13 years after the release of GTA V. The prior entry in the series sold more than 230 million copies worldwide, generating over $6 billion in revenue, which makes it the most profitable entertainment product of all time, ahead of every single Star Wars movie or any individual Pokemon game. And while parent company Take-Two Interactive has been tight-lipped about the budget, credible estimates range from $1 billion to over $3 billion, which is comparable to what Marvel spent on the entire MCU.    

Knowing all that, startup founder Ziwen Xu is taking on the monumental challenge of vibe coding his own version of Grand Theft Auto 6 using Claude Max 20x, Anthropic’s most powerful generative model available to the average person. He began just four days ago, announcing his intentions on X: 

This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed.

Since then, he’s been posting updates about Claude’s progress and even sharing the code on GitHub in case anyone else wants to pick up from where he leaves off. “The goal: beat the real GTA 6 to launch,” he wrote on X. “Ambitious, probably stupid, doing it anyway.”

Are GTA developers Rockstar Games likely to feel threatened by his efforts? Absolutely not. But from day two to day three, there has been undeniable progress made, with the nondescript oval character from day one gradually morphing into a recognizably human figure and the background gradually taking shape into something vaguely approximating Miami, the inspiration for Grand Theft Auto‘s fictional Vice City.

This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed.

Sure, there are some glaring omissions as well: the slick cars, massive arsenal of weapons, and iconic GTA soundtrack, for starters. But if the November release holds (and that’s a big if, if you’re at all familiar with the history of Grand Theft Auto history), he’s still got months of vibe coding left, which makes Xu’s experiment a fantastic showcase of Claude’s abilities and a great litmus test for how relevant AI coding currently is in the world of game development.
