Hit Man is a 2024 crime comedy film written by Richard Linklater and Glen Powell, inspired by a true story first reported in a 2001 Texas Monthly article about Gary Johnson, a real New Orleans professor and part-time police consultant who spent years posing as a hitman in FBI sting operations. Directed by Linklater — whose career spans Dazed and Confused, Before Sunrise, Boyhood, and School of Rock — the film is a gleeful, stylistically confident blend of comedy, romance, and thriller that stands as one of the director's most purely entertaining and commercially accessible works.

Glen Powell stars as Gary Johnson, a mild-mannered philosophy professor who discovers an unexpected talent and appetite for playing hired killers in undercover operations — slipping effortlessly between personas, costumes, and accents to become whatever the client needs to see. When he meets Madison (Adria Arjona), a woman who comes to him seeking escape from an abusive husband, Gary breaks every protocol by developing real feelings for her — creating a dangerous entanglement between the hitman he plays and the person he actually is. Austin Amelio, Retta, and Sanjay Rao provide strong supporting turns in a film that keeps its audience off-balance about who and what to trust.

Hit Man premiered at the Venice Film Festival in September 2023 and was subsequently acquired by Netflix for a 2024 theatrical and streaming release, becoming one of the platform's most acclaimed original films that year. The film was celebrated for Powell's star-making performance — a comedically expert, physically precise turn that established him as one of Hollywood's most versatile leading men — and for Linklater's assured, playful direction, which brings the same improvisational spirit and philosophical lightness to genre material that has characterized his career's best work.

Barbie is a 2023 fantasy comedy film written and directed by Greta Gerwig, based on the iconic Mattel fashion doll. The film stars Margot Robbie as Barbie and Ryan Gosling as Ken, and follows the two as they journey from the perfect world of Barbieland to the real world after Barbie begins having troubling thoughts about death and her feet inexplicably go flat.

Co-produced by Mattel Films and LuckyChap Entertainment and distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures, the film features a star-studded ensemble cast including America Ferrera, Kate McKinnon, Issa Rae, Simu Liu, Will Ferrell, and many others. Gerwig co-wrote the screenplay with her partner Noah Baumbach.

Released on July 21, 2023 — simultaneously with Christopher Nolan's Oppenheimer — Barbie sparked the global cultural phenomenon known as "Barbenheimer," with audiences flocking to see both films back-to-back on the same day. The film became the highest-grossing movie of 2023 and the highest-grossing film ever directed by a woman, earning over $1.44 billion worldwide. It received eight Academy Award nominations including Best Picture.
