NEW MOVIES TO STREAM

㽶Ƶֱ The Sydney Sweeney and Glen Powell romantic comedy is finally on Netflix starting Tuesday. The movie is about two young singles whose magical one-night stand ends in miscommunication and hurt feelings, and then find themselves both in a small family wedding party and staying in the same house. It㽶Ƶֱs loosely based on Shakespeare㽶Ƶֱs 㽶ƵֱMuch Ado About Nothing.㽶Ƶֱ Reviews were mixed and the box office started out tame, but it became a slow burn sleeper hit in theaters, earning more than $218 million worldwide. If you㽶Ƶֱve been holding out to see what the fuss was about, now is your low stakes chance (it㽶Ƶֱs also not a bad plane option, which is where this film critic finally watched it). And afterwards, if you need a rom-com palate cleanser, 㽶ƵֱYou㽶Ƶֱve Got Mail㽶Ƶֱ is also currently on Netflix.

㽶Ƶֱ Another stealth box office hit, everyone㽶Ƶֱs favorite dancing demon doll is coming back to Peacock starting Wednesday. Is it great cinema? Probably not, but everyone who watches it seems to have a fun time (in spite of themselves). Entertainment Weekly㽶Ƶֱs Leah Greenblatt wrote in her review that, 㽶ƵֱThis is not the morose, carnage-soaked horror of dank basements and clammy night terrors; most of the movie happens in bright daylight, every maniacal head tilt, ungodly hip swivel, and murder-by-gardening-tool calibrated for screams that end not with a gasp but a giggle. M3GAN came to play, and possibly reboot her motherboard for a sequel. Are you not entertained?㽶Ƶֱ

㽶Ƶֱ Finally, if you㽶Ƶֱve exhausted all your you can pivot to watching a Joe Alwyn movie instead. He stars in Claire Denis㽶Ƶֱ 2022 romantic thriller which comes to Hulu on Sunday. Based on the 1986 Denis Johnson novel, Margaret Qualley plans an American journalist in Nicaragua during COVID-19 who starts an affair with a mysterious British guy, played by Alwyn.

㽶Ƶֱ Shot through the heart, and they㽶Ƶֱre to blame: Forty years after a bunch of kids from New Jersey got together and formed a great American rock band, a , rise to fame, and best of all 㽶Ƶֱ breakups and breakdowns 㽶Ƶֱ has arrived.

㽶Ƶֱ , arguably Brazil㽶Ƶֱs most recognizable global pop singer since Astrud Gilberto sang nearly 60 years ago, is preparing to release a new album Friday. It㽶Ƶֱs titled 㽶ƵֱFunk Generation,㽶Ƶֱ her first since the 2022㽶Ƶֱs 㽶ƵֱVersions of Me,㽶Ƶֱ and its viral hits 㽶ƵֱEnvolver㽶Ƶֱ and 㽶ƵֱGirl From Rio㽶Ƶֱ (with its interpolation of the Gilberto classic) made her an international star. She㽶Ƶֱs to bring Brazilian sounds to the worldwide music market, and focusing on Brazilian funk is an extension of that desire. 㽶Ƶֱ㽶ƵֱFunk Generation㽶Ƶֱ is an album where I celebrate my roots. It㽶Ƶֱs where I express the power of Rio㽶Ƶֱs funk in every track its unique, danceable, and sensual beats,㽶Ƶֱ she said in a statement. 㽶ƵֱIt㽶Ƶֱs a rhythm born in the favelas, where I grew up, and it exudes resistance and art in every community.㽶Ƶֱ

㽶Ƶֱ It is time to give Midwest MCs their flowers: Fresh off a tour opening for , is preparing to drop a new project on Friday, 㽶ƵֱThe Coldest.㽶Ƶֱ If his trap earworm 㽶ƵֱBae,㽶Ƶֱ with its celebratory, ladies-first lyrics (㽶ƵֱBae, you know you㽶Ƶֱre fine, don㽶Ƶֱt you?㽶Ƶֱ in the chorus) and the community-focused 㽶ƵֱPlate㽶Ƶֱ are a taste of what㽶Ƶֱs to come, the release is going to be delicious.

NEW SHOWS TO STREAM

㽶Ƶֱ a sweet, silly dramedy about the residents of a small town turned upside down by the arrival of a machine that reveals a person㽶Ƶֱs true calling, returns for a second season on Apple TV+. Starring Chris O㽶ƵֱDowd as a local high school teacher, 㽶ƵֱThe Big Door Prize㽶Ƶֱ is based on a book by M.O. Walsh and was one of The Associated Press㽶Ƶֱ TV shows worth watching in 2023.

NEW VIDEO GAMES TO PLAY

㽶Ƶֱ Sony㽶Ƶֱs takes place on an Earth that㽶Ƶֱs been mostly abandoned after an invasion by hordes of mysterious monsters called the Naytiba. Enter Eve, a sword- and gun-wielding warrior who has returned to her home planet to help out the few people left, including a scavenger named Adam. The Biblical references pile up 㽶Ƶֱ for example, the last city standing is Xion 㽶Ƶֱ but the real influence is the popular hack-and-slash epic Bayonetta. If you㽶Ƶֱve been craving another flamboyant adventure with a beautiful woman battling hideous beasts, Korean studio Shift Up hopes it㽶Ƶֱs got you covered. Start swinging Friday on PlayStation 5.

㽶Ƶֱ Electronic Arts㽶Ƶֱ is less campy and more down to earth. Its protagonist, Zau, aims to become a healer and, maybe, bring his father back from the Land of the Dead. The aspiring shaman has some nifty parkour skills as well as sun and moon masks, which allow him to, respectively, launch spears and manipulate time as he fights evil spirits. Tales of Kenzera is the debut title from Surgent Studios, which was founded by voice actor Abubakar Salim, and he says it was inspired by Bantu folklore as well as his own experience with grief. The journey began Tuesday on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, Xbox X/S and PC.
