THE BINGE WATCHERS QUEUE…

New to Netflix, this one is about two brothers drowning in debt, who concoct a plan to scam a wealthy heiress and save their home in Naples — but unexpected love soon complicates the scheme. If it’s good, might have to queue it up for Valentine’s Day!
Where to watch: Netflix

If you like a bit of horror mixed in with a bit of family drama, add this one to your weekend binge. After the death of her mother, artist Annie, and her family uncover their terrifying legacy and grapple with malevolent forces beyond their control.
Where to watch: Netflix

“Rocky loves Eh-mil-ee!” If you don’t remember this line then you can skip this pick during your weekend binge. It’s kinda bad. But if you watched it as a kid… it’s kinda good. This one is most-def a nostalgia pick that takes the second-best group of ninjas (cuz the Turtles have got this category on lock) to Japan after thieves steal an ancient dagger from their grandfather.
Where to watch: Netflix

This Docuseries puts us inside the cell with convicted murderers who recount the deadly crimes that landed them in prison. This one was already 5 seasons deep, with the sixth added this month.
Where to watch: Netflix

New to the ‘Lu, this one is inspired by a true story about a Mexican boy whose dream of becoming a soccer star takes an unexpected turn when he is smuggled across the border and sold to a sweatshop in downtown LA. This might be a tough one to watch for most, but if you want a gripping drama grounded in reality, this one sounds promising.
Where to watch: Hulu

I don’t care… this is probably going to be the first series I’m watching when I get home on Friday night. Based on the thriller anthology Series by R.L. Stine, this brand new Goosebumps series follows a group of high schoolers who investigate a mysterious death that happened 30 years ago. If it sucks… I’ll switch over to The Bookie on Max.
Where to watch: Hulu

I tend to shy away from movies that are written, directed, and starring the same individual. But after being proven wrong by Ben Affleck in Fargo, I’ll give this buddy comedy that has a Golden Globe Award Nomination a chance. Starring one-person film crew, Jesse Eisenberg, this flick is about two cousins who are polar opposites clashing while trying to heal their shared history. We’ll laugh. We’ll cry. We’ll have ice cream. [Squints] …WAIT, is that Macaulay Culkin’s brother???
Where to watch: Hulu

Don’t you love it when the Pope acts all saucy? Hiding secrets and talking that ancient papal shit. Scoring 93% on Rotten Tomatoes, I’m pretty down to watch all of the tea I’m sure is not based on true events–wink, wink.
Where to watch: Peacock

Yeah, it’s a remake of a Dutch film with the same title, but James McAvoy slays in the trailer. His creepy passive-aggressiveness with bursts of explosive violence that immediately devolves into a neighborly smile, is the type of performance we cinephiles salivate over. As a sucker for Blumhouse films, this one gets an automatic play.
Where to watch: Peacock

Okay, hear me out. This one scores incredibly low on Rotten Tomatoes. The film trades go in on it, labeling the movie as “off-putting.” This movie, starring Brandy, pits her in a beef with her estranged stepmom. It’s the kind of film that would make Monica call Brandy just to tell her, “Actually. You can have the boy.” But trust my logic: keep this film in your queue for when a group of rowdy friends come over and save the good ones for “Me-Time.”
Where to watch: Max
Hidden Gems:
If you like a slow-burn drama with sharp dialogue, backstabbing, and spycraft, look no further than The Good Shepherd.
In Nightcrawler, Jake Gyllenhaal becomes the most creepy and neurotic version of a “go-getter” when he becomes an aspiring journalist who will stop at nothing to create headline-worthy news.
Snowpiercer follows a moving train inhabiting separate classes of people. Rich people up front, the have-nots in the back, and Curtis played by Captain America—ahem—Chris Evans, whooping ass from the window to walls.
If Conclave leaves you in your Vatican-conspiracy bag, and you ACTUALLY enjoyed The Front Room, give The Pope’s Exorcist a shot before the 1st of February. Horror heads, I’ll have to make it up to you in another queue.
AND LASTLY, IN THEATERS…
Instead of seeing Wolf Man, we recommend opting for one of these…
