We know how it is: so many things to watch, so little time. Between what’s on Netflix, YouTube, and rewatching that GTA VI extended look for the umpteenth time, we are inundated with options. And while variety is said to be the spice of life, doomscrolling streaming services hoping for a dopamine hit can be a different kind of nightmare.
That’s where What to Watch comes in; at the end of every week, we will hit you with a selection of movies, TV shows, and other Pop Culture events to have on your viewing radar. This week features include two boxing-related projects (The Greatest and I Play Rocky), A24’s Club Kid, and much more.
Here’s a look at everything you need to be watching this weekend.
