Each week our staff of film and TV experts surveys the entertainment landscape to select the ten best new/newish movies available for you to stream at home. We put a lot of thought into our selections, and our debates on what to include and what not to include can sometimes get a little heated and feelings may get hurt, but so be it, this is an important service for you, our readers. With that said, here are our selections for this week.

10. (tie) The Voyeurs (Amazon Prime)

What we have here is an old-school erotic thriller — think Basic Instinct or Fatal Attraction — with White Lotus star Sydney Sweeney as one half of a curious couple who spends a not-insignificant amount of time spying on their exhibitionist-type neighbors. Things get weird and twisted and steamy, as they do in these kinds of movies, which were super popular in the 1980s and 1990s and have since just about disappeared. Might be worth it to give it a try, but think about closing your own blinds first. Watch it on Amazon Prime.

10. (tie) Black Widow (Disney+)

Scarlett Johansson’s Natasha Romanoff finally gets a proper send-off in this actioner that aims to go back-to-basics but succeeds more on a personal level. The film fills in plenty of blanks following the events of Captain America: Civil War, but more importantly, we receive butt-kicking ladies in well-choreographed fight scenes and an emotionally resonant story that introduces us to the inner Natasha, as witnessed by Florence Pugh’s Yelena Belova. She’s perhaps the only person in the world who’s allowed to tease Natasha, and their dynamic (and the chemistry between Scarlett and Florence) rules. The film also allows David Harbour to perform grunt-filled face work with a wild accent while the ladies swirl around him in hand-to-hand combat. It’s a winner. And it’s now available to subscribers with no extra fee. Watch it on Disney+.

9. The Velvet Underground (Apple TV+)

The Velvet Underground is one of the most influential bands of all-time. But unlike other iconic 1960s groups like, say, the Beatles, there’s not a ton of footage of Lou Reed, John Cale, Sterling Morrison, and Moe Tucker performing. To get around this, director Todd Haynes has made a documentary that captures the “idea” of the VU rather than a Wikipedia summary. Don’t walk, but “run run run” to watch The Velvet Underground! Watch it on Apple TV+.

8. Malignant (HBO Max)

James Wan, he of the Saw and Insidious and Conjuring movies, is back with a new horror film. This one focuses on a woman who has terrifying visions of brutal murders, which are ruining her life a little (as terrifying visions of brutal murders will do) and are also –surprise — actually happening in the real world (which is bad). None of it sounds like a good time for her. For you, though? Maybe. Watch it on Netflix.

7. Muppets Haunted Mansion (Disney+)

Good news: The Muppets are back. Everyone’s favorite collection of fuzzy rascals take to Disney+ with a new spooky Halloween story about a haunted mansion. The Haunted Mansion, if we’re being technical. It might be a nice opportunity to fall down a Muppet rabbit hole again. There’s never a bad time to watch The Great Muppet Caper, after all. Watch it on Disney+.

6. The Many Saints of Newark (HBO Max)

The Sopranos are back. Kind of. The Sopranos are kind of back. Series creator David Chase’s long-rumored, long-awaited prequel movie about New Jersey’s most famous fictional crime family is finally here. What do we got? Well, for one, we’ve got Michael Gandolfini filling the role of a Tony Soprano and playing a younger version of the character his father made famous. We’ve also got a bunch more Moltisantis and 1960-70s fashion all against the backdrop of the 1967 riots in Newark. There’s a lot going here. You’ll probably want to check it out, if only to bask in a little nostalgia for a while. Watch it on HBO Max

5. Night Teeth (Netflix)

The dark spirits compel us to remind you that Megan Fox has a horror-comedy coming to Netflix this week. It’s likely this reminder is retribution for how terribly we treated Fox’s other terrific horror entry, Jennifer’s Body. Will this one be as good? Who knows? It looks promising enough though, with Fox and Sydney Sweeney hamming it up as two LA-based Goth queens who mix a bit of human blood into their green smoothies. Lucy Fry and Debbie Ryan take up the most screen-time, playing a pair of hard-partying undead millennials that look to be the worst Uber passengers you’ll ever meet. It’s a wild noir-infused romp through the city that doesn’t seem to take itself too seriously. Watch it on Netflix.

4. Paranormal Activity: Next of Kin (Paramount+)

The spooky business all gets rebooted here, with the franchise focusing in on a collection of teens, one of whom is on a mission to discover what happened to her mother. Does she uncover a secret? Is the secret described in the preview materials as “a terriying truth”? Buddy, you know it is. We’ve all see enough of these movies to know that. But it doesn’t make them any less fun. Watch it on Paramount+.

3. Army of Thieves (Netflix)

Netflix bet on dead with Zack Snyder’s Army of the Dead, and that bet apparently paid off handsomely, which is a good thing because there’s already a prequel in the can. Matthias Schweighöfer returns to the franchise as Dieter, a then-bank teller who’s recruited by Nathalie Emmanuel (who promises “a life less ordinary”) to begin his heisting career. Of course, this prequel isn’t entirely devoid of zombies, but the focus is on those safes, which are cracking. Watch it on Netflix.

2. Halloween Kills (Peacock)

Halloween Kills is a direct sequel to 2018’s Halloween, which was a sequel to 1978’s Halloween that ignored all the previous sequels in the franchise. It’s confusing, but really, all you need to know is that it’s a Halloween movie with Jamie Lee Curtis, “The Shape,” and an eerie score from John Carpenter. ’Tis the season (to watch horror movies). Watch it on Peacock

1. Dune (HBO Max)

At long last, Dune is here. Denis Villeneuve’s science-fiction epic starring everyone you like (including Timothée Chalamet, Rebecca Ferguson, Oscar Isaac, Josh Brolin, Stellan Skarsgård, Dave Bautista, Zendaya, and Jason Momoa) should probably be seen on the biggest screen possible. But it’ll still look darn good at home. Watch it on HBO Max.

Each week our staff of film and TV experts surveys the entertainment landscape to select the ten best new/newish shows available for you to stream at home. We put a lot of thought into our selections, and our debates on what to include and what not to include can sometimes get a little heated and feelings may get hurt, but so be it, this is an important service for you, our readers.

10. (tie) The Haunted Museum (Discovery+)

Eli Roth has so much going on over at Discovery+ this month (following his recent real-life horror/Shark-Week film on the streamer) that one has to wonder… is he running the joint? It’s a valid question, but more to the point, he’s teaming up with Ghost Adventures host Zak Bagans for this scripted anthology series, in which they illuminate nine of the world’s most cursed artifacts. These relics are actually in display in Bagans’ Vegas museum, but here, you’ll get the historic commentary in addition to having the pants scared off of you.

10. (tie) I Know What You Did Last Summer (Amazon Prime)

Sure, you remember the 1997 film and perhaps you’re aware that that was based upon the 1973 novel by Lois Duncan, but this Amazon Studios collaboration with Sony Pictures Television wants you to relive the nightmare once more. Obviously, this version doesn’t have Jennifer Love Hewitt, Sarah Michelle Gellar, or Freddie Prinze, but these teens seem more twisted by nature than the O.G. bunch, so perhaps that will add some shading to justify reviving their shared dark secret as they aim to survive. Watch it on Amazon Prime.

10. (tie) The Next Thing You Eat (Hulu)

Need to shake up your food game? Join the club. Chef David Chang teams up with director Morgan Nevill for six episodes that follow seismic changes in the way we eat. There’s a global perspective, and expect to see robots and lab-grown food and more surprising paths to tastiness. Watch it on Hulu.

9. Maid (Netflix)

Margaret Qualley (Once Upon A Time In Hollywood) stars in this heartbreaking adaptation of Stephanie Land’s New York Times best-selling memoir, Maid: Hard Work, Low Pay, and a Mother’s Will to Survive. This will, clearly, be a difficult watch, but Qualley’s raw portrayal (of a woman who flees an abusive relationship to go through exceedingly difficult times to break the cycle for her daughter) yields a burgeoning star. Watch it on Netflix. Watch it on Netflix.

8. Invasion (Apple TV+)

We’ve said it before, we’ll say it again: Apple TV+ is winning the space race. This latest drama from the streamer imagines an alien invasion of Earth as told from different perspectives of people on different continents around the world. Sam Neill is one of those – he plays a small-town sheriff on the verge of retirement when these other-worldly guests arrive. X-Men producer Simon Kinberg is behind the series, so expect the show to have some terrific visuals and compelling storylines. Watch it on Apple TV+.

7. What We Do In The Shadows (FX/Hulu)

Well, well, well. Guillermo turned out to be a vampire killer, which sure as heck came as a surprise to Nandor, Nadja, and Laszlo, and Colin. The four Staten Island roommates must figure out how to handle this conundrum, along with tackling the other challenges of this season. Those include dealing with wellness cults and gym culture, along with gargoyles, werewolves who play kickball, casinos, and more. In other words, this is still one of the funniest shows on TV. Watch it on FX and Hulu.

6. Inside Job (Netflix)

Lizzy Caplan and Christian Slater star in this adult animated comedy show that revolves around a shadow government that’s all up in global conspiracies. There are secret societies and orgies and shapeshifters and psychic mushrooms, along with an idealistic agent who hopes that she can make a difference in a world filled with unhinged characters. Watch it on Netflix.

5. You (Netflix)

If you find yourself commiserating with Penn Badgley’s obsessive serial killer Joe Goldberg when You’s third season drops this week, don’t take it personally. Relocating to a small town and having to interact with mommy bloggers and uber-masculine tech-daddies sounds like hell, sure, but it’s what he deserves. The show’s latest installment picks up where season two left off — with Joe and his new wife Love Quinn (Victoria Pedretti at her best here) moving to the suburbs and trying to curb the worst of their shared homicidal tendencies. A new baby, new romantic distractions, anti-vaxxers, feminist wine retreats, and bro trips that end rather bloody all threaten their planned quiet life. And really, no amount of couple’s therapy can save a marriage when one spouse is constantly fantasizing about murdering the other. Happily ever after just isn’t in the cards for these two — but more dead bodies piling up in their basement certainly is. Watch it on Netflix.

4. Squid Game (Netflix)

Netflix’s most popular show in, well, ever continues to burn up the discourse, and internet bandwidth all over the world. It’s been a while since we had a full-on phenomenon like this one. Get in there if you haven’t yet, or maybe get in there again if you have, if part to enjoy (?) all the class-based cynicism and murderous children’s games, and in part so you have something to talk about with your family during the quickly-approaching holiday season. Watch it on Netflix.

3. Love Life: Season 2 (HBO Max)

Love Life ended up being the HBO Max original show to launch the service, and a new anthologized story is upon us with Anna Kendrick’s Darby passing the baton to a new unlucky-in-love protagonist, Marcus, who will be portrayed by William Jackson Harper (i.e., Jacked Chidi in The Good Place). Darby’s still in the show a little bit, but she got married, so this is all about Marcus finding himself launched from a long-term relationship and into the hell hole known as the dating world. Godspeed, Marcus. Watch it on HBO Max.

2. Curb Your Enthusiasm (HBO)

It’s a mitzvah in a world like this to turn the other cheek, bite the tongue, and generally disregard the impoliteness, ridiculousness, and stupidity of others. But wow, what a lift. Perhaps that’s why it’s so freeing to see Larry David and a cavalcade of stars and familiar faces push against the minutiae of polite culture with serial honesty. Who else could reject someone’s plea to pray for a sick relative without getting stabbed or mock the fakery of gazing deeply into someone’s eyes during a toast when all you want to do is freaking eat? Larry is no hero. He’s an asshole, but he’s our asshole and he’s back for another round of Curb. Watch it on HBO.

1. Succession (HBO Max)

Everyone’s favorite collection of monsters is back, once again, this time for a slightly delayed third season. Things left off with the Roy family in turmoil, as always, although this time from friendly fire, thanks to noted screw-up and amateur rapper Kendall making a big move. The new season should get ugly in the best possible way, so hop on board week-to-week if you’re already a fan or load up a binge and get caught up to see what everyone’s yammering about all fall. Watch it on HBO Max.

Gwyneth Paltrow stopped by Red Table Talk to promote her new Netflix series, Sex, Love & goop, on Wednesday. Or at least that was the initial plan because things took a turn when Jada Pinkett Smith once again started airing her issues with husband Will Smith. Although, to Jada’s credit, she did keep the discussion on topic because her grievances were about sex, and how it’s not going so well after being married for so long. Via E! Online:

“It’s hard,” Jada said. “The thing Will and I talk about a lot is the journey. We started in this at a very young age, you know, 22 years old. That’s why the accountability part really hit for me because I think you expect your partner to know [what you need], especially when it comes to sex. It’s like, ‘Well, if you love me, you should know. If you love me, you should read my mind.’ That’s a huge pitfall.”

As for Paltrow, she didn’t add much to the conversation except to say, “Isn’t it weird, though? It’s like someone doesn’t read your mind and we feel crushed.”

However, Paltrow should’ve been prepared for the Red Table Talk experience to veer into awkward amounts of tea spilling about Will and Jada’s marriage. Soon after the episode hit, people started losing their minds on social media over the fact that, once again, Jada was airing Will’s dirty laundry. She quickly became a trending topic thanks to an avalanche of hilarious reactions, which you can see below.

North Carolina Republican Madison Cawthorn has developed quite a reputation for himself (much like Lauren Boebert and Marjorie Taylor Greene) as a highly radical, far-right freshman congressman. He has insisted that MAGA rioters were simply “normal people” who were “kind of wandering in,” which suggests a severe departure from reality. He’s been called out for his anti-vaxxer stances, including insisting that Americans have a “constitutionally protected” right to hop on an airplane. Cawthorn also got into a screaming match with fellow Republican David McKinley, so yeah, he’s doing about as well as Boebert and Greene.

Madison decided to step in it on Wednesday night during ongoing Congressional debates about the so-called bipartisan infrastructure bill. The congressman didn’t explain the context of what he was upset about, but he’s apparently referring to Biden’s promise to only raise taxes for the wealthiest Americans (meaning .0005% of the population) to pay for the bill. Cawthorn selectively interpreted this as “Biden said that the $3.5 TRILLION spending bill will cost zero dollars.” He then (presumably rhetorically) inquired, “What’s the biggest lie a politician has ever told?”

Well, people had some ready answers for him, particularly his own falsehoods — regarding his accident and his claim that he’s was accepted into the U.S. Naval Academy and multiple Ivy League universities — that Cawthorn has told as part of his villain origin story (the Washington Post published a thorough article on the subject, and it is an enlightening read). Trump’s lies (about COVID, the U.S.-Mexico border wall, and the Big Lie) also popped up in replies to Cawthorn’s tweet. He’s been thoroughly owned.

Don’t ask questions that you don’t want answered, right? At least Lauren Boebert can breathe easy at not having all the lie-attention focused on her today, but she might have a zinger coming later, too.

Asghar Farhadi, arguably Iran’s greatest living filmmaker, is one of the few directors who has won Best International Feature Film twice: the first time for 2011’s masterpiece A Separation, and again in 2016 for The Salesman. He’ll go for the trifecta with A Hero, which has already been selected as Iran’s entry for the 94th Academy Awards.

A Hero, which won the Grand Prix at the 2021 Cannes Film Festival, is about a man named Rahim (Amir Jadidi) who is in prison because of an unpaid debt. “During a two-day leave, he tries to convince his creditor (Mohsen Tanabandeh) to withdraw his complaint against the payment of part of the sum. But things don’t go as planned,” reads the official plot summary.

“I don’t perceive being local and being universal as opposites,” Farhadi told Deadline about his film’s theme being universal. “You can be extremely local and addressing only very specific local issues and being understandable and interesting for anyone from any other culture, as you can have very universal and general intentions and ambitions and not being understood by the closest person to you.”

A Hero, which also stars Fereshteh Sadrorafaii, Sahar Goldoust, Maryam Shahdaie, Sarina Farhadi, and Saleh Karimai, comes out in theaters on January 7, 2022, and Amazon Prime Video on January 21.

If Tucker Carlson had his way, farting in public might be punishable by death by firing squad. Earlier this week, the Fox News host got very, very serious when he shared not one but two—count ‘em, two—videos of Joe Biden coughing… then suggested with a straight face that the president had committed a crime. By coughing. Jimmy Kimmel was not about to let the Fox News host’s diatribe go without comment.

On Wednesday night, Kimmel reminded viewers that “Even though [Donald] Trump announced we’d rounded the corner [on COVID] more than a year ago, and his Fox friends enthusiastically agreed, actually he infected his inner circle—and vice versa—with COVID. Some people, like Tucker Carlson, are still working hard to criticize Joe Biden for the way he’s handling [the COVID pandemic].” Which is how we got to the cough heard ’round the world.

Kimmel shared some clips of Carlson showing Biden coughing, then bafflingly claiming that “no one from the CDC arrested Joe Biden that day. No one ever will. The people who make the rules don’t have to follow them.” There’s also the fact that the CDC doesn’t have the authority to arrest anyone, not to mention that coughing isn’t a crime. “Where are those CDC police when you need them?,” Kimmel wondered, then added: “What a soppy bag of phlegm he is.”

Kimmel also proposed that from here on out we refer to the male version of a “Karen” as a “Carlson,” which sounds like a perfectly relevant equivalent—even if not all of the Karens of the world deserve it.

You can watch the full clip above; the Biden bit starts around the 5:30 mark.

In what could be considered a chicken-and-egg medical breakthrough, a new study suggests that a commonly prescribed antidepressant could reduce the risk of getting a severe case of COVID-19 by nearly one-third.

According to CNN, a study conducted with approximately 1,500 individuals seemed to show that fluvoxamine, a generic antidepressant that is sold under the brand name Luvox, could help in reducing the severity of COVID in patients who are taking the drug. While the medication is generally used to treat clinical depression and obsessive compulsive disorder, it turns out that it may also help with inflammation—enough that it can reliably reduce the severity of COVID-19.

Dr. Angela Reiersen, an associate professor of psychiatry at Washington University in St. Louis and one of the authors of the study, which was published in The Lancet Global Health on Wednesday, says: “Fluvoxamine may reduce the production of inflammatory molecules called cytokines, that can be triggered by SARS-CoV-2 infection.”

As CNN reports:

“Reierson and colleagues gave 741 volunteers with Covid-19 100 mg of fluvoxamine twice a day for 10 days while 756 volunteers got a placebo. Among the patients who got fluvoxamine, 79— or about 11 percent—needed treatment in an ER or hospital room compared to nearly 16 percent of those given placebos. It was a 5 percent decrease in absolute risk and a 32 percent decrease in relative risk.”

While more studies are needed before any firm conclusions can be reached about the effectiveness of Luvox in lessening the effects of COVID, the good news is that it could be a cost-effective measure in reducing the likeliness of an individual with COVID needing to be hospitalized because of the virus. “A 10-day course of fluvoxamine costs approximately $4 even in well-resourced settings,” according to the paper. And while it’s not a cure for COVID-19, the researchers say that the drug’s “safety, tolerability, ease of use, low cost, and widespread availability… might influence national and international guidelines on the clinical management of COVID-19.”

Of the many dumb things that Donald Trump has ever said—and there have been lots and lots of them—bragging about being “smart” for not paying his taxes is right up there with crowing about how he likes grab women “by the p*ssy” in most despicable quotes. Yet here were are, more than five years and one full presidential term later, and the former president is still desperate to prevent his tax returns from ever seeing the light of day.

As NBC News reports, Trump’s lawyers were pleading with a federal judge on Tuesday to prevent their client’s tax returns from being handed over to the House Ways and Means Committee via either the Treasury Department and/or the IRS. While committee chairman Richard Neal has requested the returns as part of an ongoing examination into how the President of the United States’ taxes are audited by the IRS, lawyers for Trump are calling bullsh*t and saying that the real goal is to find something embarrassing about their client. Which seems like an argument that only the lawyer for someone with something really embarrassing hiding in their tax returns might make.

According to NBC News, lawyers for Trump issued a statement claiming:

“No one believes that Chairman Neal requested President Trump’s tax returns so he can study legislation about IRS audits. No one. Chairman Neal admits that this justification was a mere litigation strategy. His fellow Committee-Members don’t buy it either.

Anyone who’s paid even minimal attention to American politics understands what’s happening here: President Trump did not voluntarily disclose his tax returns during the campaign, his political opponents assume the information would damage him, and so his opponents want to force the disclosure.”

Back in July, according to The Hill, the Department of Justice weighed in on the matter and ruled that the Treasury Department must hand over Trump’s taxes, as requested. “The statute at issue here is unambiguous: ‘Upon written request’ of the chairman of one of the three congressional tax committees, the Secretary ‘shall furnish’ the requested tax information to the Committee,” Dawn Johnsen, a Biden-appointed acting Assistant Attorney General for the Office of Legal Counsel, said at the time. Still, Team Trump isn’t budging—and they’re invoking that whole executive privilege-type argument yet again in saying that “The committee’s request is effectively a request to a sitting president: it was issued while President Trump was in office, was continuously pursued, and has always been tied to his status as president.”

Whether that argument holds any water is yet to be determined, but a hearing has been scheduled for November 16th in order to attempt to sort it out.

Because one hour per night of Tucker Carlson spewing lies, hate, and batsh*t conspiracy theories just wasn’t enough, Fox News has gone ahead and given the former bow tie addict a platform to air a three-part documentary series. On Wednesday night, the host shared a trailer for Patriot Purge, a Tucker Carlson Joint, which alleges to tell the “true story” behind the events of January 6th. Carlson’s version of the truth? That there’s a new “war on terror”—called “The War on Terror 2.0” in the trailer—and that it’s happening right here at home.

“The helicopters have left Afghanistan, and now they’ve landed here at home,” Carlson intones over footage of protestors at the Capitol and stock footage of scary men, presumably liberal Democrats, busting down doors with battering rams, assault rifles in hand, and waterboarding what I guess we’re supposed to assume are totally innocent everyday patriots who think like Carlson does and cite his unchecked rhetoric as fact?

“The left is hunting the right,” says one interview subject. “Sticking them in Guantanamo Bay, for American citizens, leaving them there to rot.”

Um, ok…

“False flags have happened in this country,” says another talking head as “The Battle Hymn of the Republic” plays solemnly in the background, then adds the mic drop moment: “One of which may have been January 6th.”

Yeah, it’s gonna be like that.

Carlson called the series, which was produced under the “Tucker Carlson Originals” banner, “the best thing we’ve ever done.” Not exactly a high bar, but we digress. Patriot Purge premieres on November 1st. You can watch the inane trailer above.
