Primetime, the new A24 film directed by Lance Oppenheim that chronicles Chris Hansen’s infamous 2000s TV program To Catch a Predator, hits theaters today (September 25).Robert Pattinson portrays Hansen, with Merritt Wever, Skyler Gisondo, and Phoebe Bridgers starring in additional roles.
As it turns out, Bridgers recorded a new song for the movie as part of its soundtrack, too.Listen to “On Video” below.“On Video” isn’t just a one-off single that was tacked onto the movie.
Bridgers composed it specifically for Primetime, drawing influence from composer Ari Balouzian’s original score to draw the film to an end, as her song functions as the closing track.Primetime is Bridgers’ first time acting as a cast member for a film, but it technically isn’t her debut appearance in a movie; in 2024, she made a cameo as herself in Jane Schoenbrun’s I Saw the TV Glow.Last month, Bridgers made her long-awaited return as a solo artist with Lost Weekend, her third solo LP overall and first in six years, following 2020’s Punisher.She’s currently on an extensive headlining tour in support of Lost Weekend, and she has invited some of the album’s collaborators to help her bring it to life onstage.Revisit Going Analog at Phoebe Bridgers’ Phones-Free MSG Show....
