Uncertified: SOULM8TE
Once upon a time, Blumhouse planned an entire M3GANVERSE. Then M3GAN 2.0 bombed at the box office, and the concept was scrapped. Kate Dolan's companion-bot spinoff, SOULM8TE, vanished from the release calendar. You hate to see any film become a casualty of business decisions, but here we are, with SOULM8TE unceremoniously dumped on digital instead of its planned theatrical run. Could it be as bad as the inside baseball of a film losing its release plan, forgoing any critics' screenings, and just plopping on rental platforms with almost no notice? One of the Matts thinks so—listen in to find out which one! About SOULM8TE A man (David Rysdahl) acquires an Artificially Intelligent android (Lily Sullivan) to cope with the loss of his recently deceased wife. In an attempt to create a truly sentient partner, he inadvertently turns a harmless lovebot into a deadly soulmate.You can follow Certified Forgotten on Bluesky and Instagram at: https://bsky.app/profile/certifiedforgot.bsky.social https://www.instagram.com/certifiedforgotten/ About Certified ForgottenCertified Forgotten is a writer-owned horror publication focused on the little movies that leave a big impression.
