The Knight Who Should Be LutherKing Charles tapped Idris Elba on the shoulders with a ceremonial sword this week, making him Sir Idris — recognized for his work as an actor, activist, and musician.

He also has photographic evidence of his wife discovering Elba was standing directly behind her at the Toronto International Film Festival.

Backrooms and Obsession together prove that Gen Z will seek out strange, cheap, original films — the kind Hollywood stopped making a decade ago. Richard Crouse maps what that shift actually means.
