synopsis:

Nathaniel Wesninski is the paranoid youngest son of a wealthy businessman, who his hallucinations tell him is actually a major crime boss responsible for his mother's death. Andrew Minyard is addicted to an experimental drug that allows him to relive the worst day of his life, which is the only way he can feel anything.

Set in a retrofuturistic New New York where the internet is illegal and people pay actors to pretend to be their friends, the two meet at a questionable psychiatric study that promises to "fix the mind and end suffering." But when mysterious forces (and a depressed supercomputer) send the experiment into chaos, they must work together to survive the most dangerous landscape imaginable: their own minds.

1922 advert apparently, but for... what? I've no idea. Came with zero provenance or clues, but I really like it!

Postscript: Googling around a bit more I see that it's algorithmically allied with what seems to be posters for stages acts or circuses, but I'm going to guess that it might be for a hypnosis or mind-reading act of some sort...

this will be an unpopolar opinion cause I've only seen very enthusiastic reactions so far but I dont like the new iwtv season 2 posters/paintings... I know they were going for pulp and genre but if you look at the pulp covers of the era the composition contrast subjects etc was different, more catchy and wayyy weirder. the ones they're showing rn are literally typical modern staged set pictures of the actors with minimal props and harsh rim lights, that were merely painted over to get the "vintage" effect. the armand/louis one doesn't even look like they were necessarily in the same room. and I dont know if its a budget thing, a time thing, or it was all completely intentional and part of the plan, but it looks cheap in a way that I dont find fun. if it was just painting (or better staging for the refs) they could have got away with something freakier. actual fun pulpy covers for comparison:

One of my favorite covers of all time and now one of yours.
