- Junk is now streaming on Mubi; the film stars David Schwimmer, Dominic Fike, Talia Ryder, Jena Malone and Gaby Hoffman and carries an 18-song soundtrack.
- Jack Begert describes Junk as “a portrait of people caught up in escapism, addiction, and a crisis of meaning.” It is his directorial debut, and he is known for directing music videos for Olivia Rodrigo, Kendrick Lamar, Jack Harlow, Doja Cat and Dominic Fike.
- Caroline Polachek performs “So Hot You’re Hurting My Feelings,” written with Daniel Nigro and Teddy Geiger.
- Baird contributes three listed tracks—“MAG’S THEME,” “ANGEL HAIR” and “Darkness Of The Night”—with Gabriel Acheson credited on the latter two and Ryan Raines also credited on “ANGEL HAIR.”
- Baby Keem performs “Orange Soda,” written by Hykeem Jamaal Carter Jr. and Keanu Dean Torres.
- Dean Martin performs “My Rifle, My Pony and Me,” written by Paul Francis Webster and Dimitri Tiomkine.
- Dani Goffstein co-wrote Junk with Jack Begert, while Darren Aronofsky, Andy Cohen, Dylan Golden, Brendan Naylor, Noor Alfallah and Sam Canter produced the film.
Why it matters: Mubi now has a new streaming title, Junk, built around David Schwimmer and four other credited stars. For music fans, the 18-track inventory is the practical value: it places Caroline Polachek, Baird, Baby Keem, Dean Martin and the rest inside the film’s escapism-and-addiction narrative.
