Attach John Goodman’s name to anything, and it’ll instantly be made 50-100% better because of it — under-cooked meals, the flu, anything — but movies and TV are obviously where he thrives. Most known for his work on Roseanne, The Conners, The Big Lebowski and other comedic projects, Goodman is no stranger to playing serious for dramas and thrillers, but it’s not often he aligns himself with the horror genre. So blessed be this exception to the norm.
The Emmy-winning thesp has signed on for a role in the offbeat creature feature Skeletons, which was already high on my list of upcoming horror movies, as it’s the latest directorial effort from JT Moller, whose 2024 sophomore effort Strange Darling was a low-budget, high-octane thriller that won over critics and audiences. (It’s currently streaming on Paramount+.)
