Pedro Pascal is back—and this time, he’s leading a star-studded cast through a movie so wild, so chaotic, so freaky, it might just make your brain short-circuit.
The 49-year-old heartthrob (and universal Internet daddy) stars in Freaky Tales, an action comedy fever dream written and directed by Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck. And let me tell you, this ain’t your average Hollywood blockbuster—it’s more like if the 1980s got dunked in a vat of neon chaos and set loose in Oakland.
So…what exactly is happening in this movie?
Great question! Here’s the official breakdown: Freaky Tales is a cinematic mixtape (yes, like the ones we made before Spotify ruined the art form) set in 1987 Oakland. It follows a wild assortment of characters—including an NBA star, a corrupt cop, a fierce female rap duo, punk rock teens, some extremely unwelcome neo-Nazis, and a debt collector—all on a collision course of absolute mayhem. Basically, if the 80s were a person, this movie is their chaotic diary.
Who else is in this madness?
Oh, just a casual who’s who of Hollywood. Alongside Pascal, we’ve got:
🔥 Ben Mendelsohn, who could play a villain in his sleep (but probably won’t in this)
🔥 Jay Ellis, bringing the charm (and possibly some shady dealings)
🔥 Normani, who might just steal every scene she’s in
🔥 Dominique Thorne, Jack Champion, and Ji-young Yoo, all ready to cause trouble
🔥 The late, great Angus Cloud, bringing his undeniable magic in his final film role
🔥 And… Tom Hanks. Yes, you read that right. America’s sweetheart is here, and honestly, if Tom Hanks is involved, you know this movie is about to get legendary.
When can we watch this glorious madness?
Mark your calendars, set your alarms, and prepare your eyeballs—Freaky Tales crashes into theaters on April 4. Get ready for 1987 like you’ve never seen it before. 🚀💥
