The 15 Best Movies and TV Shows to Watch This Weekend

Well, now we’re talking! We’re so used to the ever-shifting calendar and slow release weeks that the deluge of movies and television this weekend almost feels weird — welcome, to be sure! — but weird and overwhelming. There’s a big movie spin-off, some quieter indies, the return of the most chaotic restaurant on television, and Kevin Costner back on the big screen. Giddy up, we guess. —Savannah Salazar

Now that Carmy and Sydney have opened their sophisticated restaurant, surely things in season three will be totally calm and devoid of conflict. Like, there’s no way that two or more characters will get into a shouting match in the middle of the kitchen during an incredibly busy dinner service; stuff like that never happens on this show. —Jen Chaney 

➽ And what a season it is! (To the shippers: it’s not happening.)

The first spinoff in John Krasinski’s Quiet Place franchise comes from Pig writer-director Michael Sarnoski. That pedigree has us hopeful for Day One, which takes us back to the start of the invasion of alien monsters sensitive to sound. Of course, the new characters we meet (Lupita Nyong’o and Joseph Quinn) don’t know that yet. Good luck, babes! —S.S.

Awarded playwright Annie Baker’s taken her talent to the silver screen with her debut feature, Janet Planet. It centers on a mother and young daughter (played by Julianne Nicholson and Zoe Ziegler, respectively) who struggle to find the similarities between each other. —S.S.

From an Academy Award nomination to co-leading Under the Bridge and starring in Fancy Dance, Lily Gladstone has been having quite the year. In her latest film, she stars as an aunt who teams up with her niece to search for the young girl’s mother, who’s gone missing from the Seneca-Cayuga reservation in Oklahoma. —S.S.

Big year for moms in love. After Anne Hathaway in The Idea of You, Netflix has Nicole Kidman as a woman who gets in a relationship with the celebrity (Zac Efron) her daughter (Joey King) is personal assisting for. Get it, girlie. —S.S.

Netflix’s spinoff of That ’70s Show continues with Leia Forman, the daughter of Eric and Donna, as she stays with her grandparents Kitty and Red (Kurtwood Smith and Debra Jo Rupp) and gets into more sitcom shenanigans. —S.S.

“This is Dune: Part One for dads (and, hi, I’m dads), and that film also seemed to stop just as it got going.” (Now in theaters, read more here.)

The streamer’s dramedy series starring women tend to follow a certain “crappy husband, money problems, need to start again” formula, and this adaptation of Sandra Barneda’s novel joins the category. Eva Longoria stars as a New Yorker who travels to Spain with her mother and teenage daughter to the village their family once fled from and where they rediscover themselves. —Roxana Hadadi

Would you believe Sean Penn is actually good in a movie again? I know, we couldn’t either! Somehow that’s not the most surprising thing about Daddio, in which he plays a motormouth New York cabbie who ferries Dakota Johnson’s character (credited only as “Girlie”). —Eric Vilas-Boas

In a new documentary, Céline Dion is still aiming for perfection, writes Madeline Leung Coleman.

Hopefully, you’ve had the chance to check out Julio Torres’s HBO series Fantasmas; well, now you can pair it with Problemista, another surrealist comedy from Torres. His directorial debut, Problemista, follows Alejandro (Torres) as he juggles aspirations of being a toy designer with the fact that he’s running out of time to have his work visa renewed after being fired from his previous gig. He tries to land a job as an assistant to a temperamental art critic Elizabeth (Tilda Swinton), but that’ll prove to be more difficult than he imagined. It’s endearing and utterly entertaining. —S.S.

➽ Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga revved up and raced onto digital. So has Hayao Miyazaki’s latest film, The Boy and the Heron.

June proved a crowded month for TV (Bridgerton, The Bear, House of the Dragon). Amid that excitement, AMC’s Interview With the Vampire stunned every week. The final episode airs Sunday, meaning now’s the perfect time catch up on the whole season, baby! Prepare for season three because everyone needs to tune in to Rockstar Lestat. —S.S.

That’s right, DC’s favorite supervillain team is back in an anime. As the title suggests, Isekai plays with the trope of catapulting characters into otherworldly adventures as Harley Quinn and the gang embark on a trans-dimensional mission for Amanda Waller. The first three episodes are out now. —E.V.B.
