Join us for a Q&A with supervising editor Evan Wise, ACE and editors Benji Kast, ACE; Jon Miller, Jack Gravina, as they discuss their work on the 2025 documentary miniseries, Sean Combs: The Reckoning.
Diddy. Puff Daddy. Love. The public knows the hip-hop icon by many names — but who is the real Sean Combs? In a new four-part documentary by Emmy and Grammy Award–winning executive producer Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson and Emmy Award-winning director Alexandria Stapleton, Sean Combs: The Reckoning is a staggering examination of the media mogul, music legend, and convicted offender. Born with an insatiable drive for stardom and a knack for spotting talent, Combs made a quick ascent through the ranks of the music industry with Bad Boy Entertainment and was crucial in bringing hip-hop to the pop masses and launching the careers of dozens of generation-defining artists like The Notorious B.I.G., Mary J. Blige, Jodeci, and Danity Kane. But along the way, and as detailed by his former associates, childhood friends, artists, and employees, something darker began to color his ambitions. Through explosive, never-before-seen materials (including footage from the days leading up to Combs’s indictment and arrest, and exclusive interviews with those formerly in his orbit), this documentary tells the story of a powerful, enterprising man and the gilded empire he built — and the underworld that lay just beneath its surface.

Get ready for a surprise! The mighty Paul Verhoeven’s adaptation of a Philip K. Dick story is the kind of endlessly entertaining and subversive content that only gets more prescient as the years go by. Construction worker Douglas Quaid (The Governator) has a beautiful wife, a lovely house, but at night he dreams of Mars and an enigmatic brunette. While undergoing a virtual vacation, something goes wrong and throws him into a high-stakes adventure with an entire planet at stake. But is it just the implanted memories, or is it all too real? A thrilling, violent, and mind-bending science-fiction classic with the incomparable talents of Arnold Schwarzenegger and a smorgasbord of brilliantly crafted practical effects, Total Recall is still one of the most entertaining films ever.

The film was shot on super 16mm, mostly using a handheld camera, and is named after the giant squid and sperm whale diorama at the American Museum of Natural History.
The film, which stars Jeff Daniels, Laura Linney, Jesse Eisenberg and Owen Kline, won awards for best dramatic direction and screenwriting, and was nominated for the Grand Jury Prize at the 2005 Sundance Film Festival. Baumbach later was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay. The film received six Independent Spirit Award nominations and three Golden Globe nominations. Baumbach became one of the few screenwriters to ever sweep the major year end critics’ awards.
