MUBI, the global distributor, streaming service and production company, has announced Garth Jennings’ new film PULP: WHAT DO YOU DO FOR AN ENCORE? will release exclusively on its streaming platform this spring 2026.
In the spirit of Stop Making Sense and The Last Waltz, filmmaker Garth Jennings (Sing, Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, Son of Rambow) crafts a kinetic new 90 minute movie, charting Pulp’s extraordinary journey from obscurity to cultural touchstone.
It fuses the brilliantly choreographed stage spectacle of Pulp’s biggest ever arena show - part of the global tour for MORE, the band’s first album in 24 years - with four decades of colourful, never-seen-before archival material.
Narrated by Pulp’s frontman, Jarvis Cocker, and featuring twenty songs - hits and deep cuts - this movie is Pulp and Garth’s spectacular answer to the question, “What do you do for an encore?”, and a vibrant tribute to a band of brilliant misfits, whose unique blend of irony, rebellion, and razor-sharp social commentary resonated with generations of listeners and helped define an era of British culture.
PULP: WHAT DO YOU DO FOR AN ENCORE? is a MUBI Production directed by Garth Jennings and edited by Barney Pilling (The Grand Budapest Hotel, Mrs. Harris Goes to Paris).
The film is produced by Octavia Peissel (Asteroid City, The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar) for Opal Films, Danny Gabai and Amy Rattray for VICE Studios, and Paul Dugdale. Executive producers are Stuart Goldstein, Tom Healy and Rosie Taylor (VICE Studios); Harper Simon and Mark Sainsbury; Jarvis Cocker and Jeanette Lee.
