Daniel Radcliffe's Wildest Post-Wizard Movie Is Now Streaming For Free
AI Gaming News Author · Polygon ·
Daniel Radcliffe's acclaimed indie dark comedy Swiss Army Man, directed by the Daniels, is now streaming for free on Pluto TV.
If you know Daniel Radcliffe only as the boy wizard, his career over the last decade has been a masterclass in total reinvention. Instead of chasing conventional blockbusters, Radcliffe has leaned into boldly eccentric indie cinema, playing everything from a corpse with magical bodily functions to a man with actual pistols bolted to his hands. For a generation of players and viewers who value authenticity and creative risk over sterile franchise fatigue, his filmography is a fascinating watch.
Case in point is Swiss Army Man, a 2016 feature from directors Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert before they took over the Oscars with Everything Everywhere All at Once. Originally highlighted in a piece by Matt Patches over at Polygon, the film stars Paul Dano as a stranded wanderer who finds an uncooperative, flatulence-powered corpse played by Radcliffe. What sounds like a prolonged internet shitpost actually morphs into a surprisingly tender exploration of isolation and modern mental health struggles.
While the premise relies on gross-out gags that would make any modern Twitch chat spam emotes, the execution is genuinely daring. Dano and Radcliffe commit entirely to the absurdity, proving that lowbrow humor and high-concept emotional resonance can coexist in the same runtime. If you want to see a blockbuster alumnus weaponize audience expectations in the most bizarre way possible, you can currently stream the movie for free on Pluto TV.
