Directed by Judd Apatow, the 2020 film "The King of Staten Island" stars Pete Davidson as a young man named Scott Carlin whose life is tested after his mother, Margie Carlin (Marisa Tomei), starts dating someone new named Ray (Bill Burr), who just so happens to be a firefighter like his father who died. As Scott's relationships begin to fall apart, he vows to break up Margie and Bill, but it doesn't go so well, and soon enough he finds himself forced to live with Ray, growing closer to him and starting to heal from the trauma of his father's death.
The script is co-written by Apatow, Davidson, and Dave Sirus, and there's a biographical nature to the story, as Davidson's father, a firefighter, died during the 9/11 attacks, leading him to have a lot of mental health issues over the years (The New York Times). As with most of Apatow films, "The King of Staten Island" has an all-star cast, including Maude Apatow as Steve's sister Claire, Bel Powley as Steve's love interest Kelsey, Steve Buscemi as a firefighter called Papa, and Pamela Adlon as Ray's ex-wife Gina.
