Episode Details

Jordan Firstman, the viral comedy star, makes his feature film debut with “Club Kid,” a Cannes premiere that flips his cynical persona into a heartfelt tale of unexpected fatherhood. Playing Peter, a queer New York club promoter who becomes a dad to a nine-year-old boy named Arlo, Firstman channels his own upbringing to craft a story about lost souls finding connection — and innocence — amid chaos. With a 35mm aesthetic, standout performances from Cara Delevingne and Diego Calva, and a breakthrough casting choice for young Arlo, the film’s emotional core shines through. Critics hail it as a universal, deeply human triumph — proof that Firstman’s evolution behind the camera is just beginning.
