‘Idiots’ Review: Dave Franco and O’Shea Jackson Jr. Don’t Feel at Home in This World Anymore [B] Atlanta Film Festival
Macon Blair’s latest dark comedy‑thriller, retitled *Idiots* from its festival moniker *The Shitheads*, premiered at the Atlanta Film Festival and will hit U.S. theaters on August 28, 2026.
