Lurker Interview with Director Alex Russell and Théodore Pellerin (MUBI)

On this episode of The Movie Podcast, Daniel and Shahbaz sit-down in Toronto with Writer & Director Alex Russell and Théodore Pellerin to discuss their new film LURKER. When a twenty-something retail clerk encounters a rising pop star, he takes the opportunity to edge his way into the in-crowd. But as the line between friend and fan blurs beyond recognition, access and proximity become a matter of life and death. The directorial debut from The Bear and Beef writer-producer Alex Russell, Lurker is an exhilarating cat-and-mouse thriller made for the moment. Online fixation meets reality in this parasocial, paranoid film driven by a brilliant score and star-making performances. Lurker releases August 29, 2025 exclusively in theatres and will be available to stream on MUBI in the U.S. and Canada at a later date.
