“InterMate”: Would you cross parallel universe for a dating game?

InterMate (2022) is the re-cut version of a movie from 2018 entitled Flashout. The science-fiction film centered on three young women from an alternate universe, trapped on unfamiliar planet Earth, who confront a reality repairman assigned to preserve the multiverse by destroying InterMate, their pleasure-filled reality-collapsing game.

Inside a space habitat in a parallel universe, three young women play the blind date reality game InterMate in order to experience the euphoria of the FLASHOUT. Unexpectedly they find themselves trapped on Earth seeking the missing player of their game. They encounter a jogger, a rocker, a biker, an exploitative owner of an escort service, a radio telescope supervisor, and others vulnerable to their ecstatic FLASHOUT. All the while they are pursued by an awkward Reality Repairman whose assignment is to seal the hole between realities before the Multiverse is permanently altered.

This is the latest work of writer, producer, and director Richard Lerner, perhaps better known for being the writer and producer of the comedy The Cheerleaders (1973), and also the director of its sequel Revenge of the Cheerleaders (1976).

The main cast in InterMate (2022) is formed by Allison Dunbar, Lauren Swickard, Vedette Lim, Maya Stojan, Blythe Auffarth, Tony Napoli, Aria Sirvaitis, and Malea Rose.

After an independent film festivals run in 2018, where it achieved awards at the Los Angeles Independent Film Festival Awards and the Oniros Film Awards, the original movie had a modest digital release. Now, the new re-cut is coming out on platforms like AppleTV, Amazon Prime Video, Tubi, Popsy on Plex, Mometu, and Filmzie.
