Materialists (2025)

Ridiculous movie. Matchmaker (girl from 50 shades) dating a rich guy and a poor guy. Would be a good one to watch with a girl.

IMDb says this features Zan Perrion as "self". Probably just a quick cameo. Haven't watched it yet.

"Tripp is an average frustrated chump, who comes up with a golden idea"...

Poster tagline is "Who lies more, men or women?"


In 12 parts at the link below. Terrible audio.


Haven't watched this either, but you guys might be interested.


Re: the writer/director:

In 2018, the Los Angeles Times reported that 395 women had accused Toback of sexual harassment or assault over a 40-year period. Toback denied all the allegations.[3][4] In 2022, 38 women filed a lawsuit in New York accusing him of sexual abuse.[5] The suit eventually involved 40 accusers[6] and, on April 9, 2025, resulted in a verdict and order against Toback requiring him to pay $1.68 billion to the women.[7]

An article in a 1989 issue of Spy magazine detailed how Toback would "hang out on the streets of the Upper West Side in New York City, and approach women. According to the story, he would in rapid-fire fashion tell them that he was a Hollywood director and offer to show them his Directors Guild of America card. The pitch invariably ended up with an invite to meet privately—sometimes at an outlandishly late hour—to talk about appearing in one of his films".[35]

I saw that movie.

Loved Zan's mini appearance.

He's definitely got that Hollywood face + other fundamentals.

Could've easily been a heartthrob.
