Genre fans have had next month circled on their calendars because the three essential TV shows to watch in April include some of the very best sci-fi series in entertainment. One of What to Watch’s top picks this month is the most openly political Star Wars story to date, while the other sci-fi option is […]

In the days before streaming, guilty pleasure movies were relegated to late nights on cable channels or the back shelf of a video rental store. Now, the guilty pleasures exist side-by-side with everything else on almost every major streamer. After all, there isn’t a single streamer that can fill out their libraries with just the […]

Amazon Prime offers more than just fast delivery, because Prime Video also has one of the largest libraries of movies around. However, Prime Video sometimes downplays its movie lineup by promoting its Amazon originals over older films. While certain titles, like the recently added Smile 2, can break out of the pack, there are a […]

On March 31, Searchlight Pictures’ underrated black comedy The Menu will be leaving Netflix along with several other films. But this is the one you should catch before the end of the month, in part because it’s probably going to stay with you for a while. Director Mark Mylod and screenwriters Seth Reiss and Will […]

For the last few months, Hulu has shed only a minimal amount of content, but rarely as little as it’s losing in April. Only nine movies are heading for the door by the end of the month, most of which were direct-to-video releases that didn’t have a big audience in the first place. And the […]

Earlier this month, Adrien Brody became one of the rare performers to win the Best Actor Oscar twice. His first win was for 2002’s The Pianist, while his latest Academy Award was for The Brutalist. Three years after his first Oscar-winning performance, Brody had another great turn in a low-budget sci-fi thriller called The Jacket, […]

For the better part of a decade, The Handmaid’s Tale has been one of Hulu’s signature original shows. It’s been a long road for series star Elisabeth Moss, but the end is in sight when The Handmaid’s Tale begins its sixth and final season in April. Jennifer Lawrence’s comeback comedy, No Hard Feelings, is also […]

The name Parker Finn may not be widely known outside of the entertainment industry, but he’s one of Hollywood’s biggest success stories in years. Finn’s first film, 2022’s Smile, outperformed all expectations for a low-budget horror flick and became a breakout hit in theaters. That’s even more impressive considering that it was originally meant to […]

Netflix is overflowing with movies to watch, and it’s impossible for any single person to catch all of them. But one of the joys of subscribing to the biggest streaming service is being able to rediscover films years after they were in theaters. There are some hidden gems in Netflix’s library that haven’t cracked the […]

Disney has been making live-action remakes of its animated classics for just over 30 years, and there are even more on the way. It was inevitable that the House of Mouse would eventually get around to adapting Walt Disney’s first animated movie — and the first full-length American animated film — Snow White and the […]

Coming into 2024, it was a safe bet that the adaptation of Wicked was going to be one of the biggest films of the year. It’s based upon one of the most popular Broadway musicals ever, and it’s a prequel to The Wizard of Oz, a perennial favorite across several generations. But Wicked outperformed all […]

Marvel and Star Wars fans have very good reasons to be happy with the Disney+ lineup in April. The three remaining episodes of Daredevil: Born Again will wrap up in the early weeks of the month, and presumably set the stage for Season 2 in 2026. The week after Born Again Season 1 is done, […]
