The 9 Best Movies and TV Shows to Watch This Weekend
The hottest trend this week is giving away the plot right in the title of the movie. Films with a unicorn death, a woman in someone’s yard, and a bunch of queer men hanging out are just a handful to watch this weekend. Here’s the rest.
Featured Presentations
Death of a Unicorn
It’s in the name! Paul Rudd plays Elliot Kintner, the man who accidentally mows down a unicorn with his daughter, Ridley (Jenna Ortega). The two are driving to Elliot’s rich Big Pharma employers, the Leopolds (played by Richard Grant, Téa Leoni, and Will Poulter), in Canada. What starts off as a fantastical find quickly turns into a gory horror movie as the unicorn’s parents come knocking.

The Studio
Seth Rogen — who co-created this series alongside longtime collaborator Evan Goldberg, Frida Perez, and former Veep writers Peter Huyck and Alex Gregory — plays the head of a movie studio who finds new ways to make an ass of himself in every episode. If you’re looking for a comedy where several directors play versions of themselves (Martin Scorsese! Ron Howard! Olivia Wilde!), this is the show for you. — Jen Chaney

The Woman in the Yard
Again, it’s in the name! Directed by horror aficionado Jaume Collet-Serra (Orphan, House of Wax), The Woman in the Yard follows an isolated family, led by Danielle Deadwyler, after a recent tragedy as they find a strange woman (Okwui Okpokwasili) waiting ominously outside their house. As the woman in all black inches closer, the horror and tension ratchets up.

Mid-Century Modern
Another of 2025’s entries in the category known as “What if streaming tried to make shows like network television?,” this is a Golden Girls–style sitcom about three older gay men who become Palm Springs roommates. It’s got Matt Bomer, Nathan Lane, Nathan Lee Graham, and Linda Lavin in one of her last roles. It was created by Will & Grace alums. It’s a multi-cam! Maybe what’s old is new again? —Kathryn VanArendonk

A Working Man
“Much like the storybook mayhem of the first John Wick, A Working Man isn’t afraid to make its spectacles of slaughter visually enchanting.” (Read the rest of Ebiri’s review of Jason Statham’s latest here.)
Holland
Nicole Kidman has no idea what a vacation is — unless her character is on one. The actor has been in project after project lately, and her newest film is a thriller about a woman who suspects that her husband (Matthew Macfadyen) is having an affair. She then enlists a fellow teacher (Gael García Bernal) to help her investigate.

A Complete Unknown
Timothée Chalamet landed his second Oscar nomination for playing Bob Dylan. Avoiding most of the traps of the music biopic, James Mangold’s film tells the story of Dylan’s rise in the early-to-mid-’60s in the New York folk scene, a music movement that he would change forever. —Brian Tallerico
Streaming on Hulu
➽ One of the best needle drops of last year was Nirvana playing as Daniel Craig spotted Drew Starkey in Queer, now on Max.
Double Feature
Jurassic Park III
This sequel gets a bad rap. Compared to Jurassic Park, a lot of the franchise sequels get a bad rap, that’s completely understandable. But Jurassic Park III is still an entertaining, schlocky thriller. You might as well pair it up with Death of a Unicorn, which also stars Téa Leoni as the matriarch of a family in danger of being maimed by some memorable beasts.
