🎬 The Studio
Streaming on: Apple TV+
Seth Rogen leads this razor-sharp industry satire as the hilariously incompetent head of a major movie studio. Co-created with Evan Goldberg and former Veep writers Peter Huyck and Alex Gregory, the show skewers Hollywood egos and misfires with cameos from real-life directors like Martin Scorsese and Olivia Wilde.

💥 MobLand
Streaming on: Paramount+ (Available Now)
Guy Ritchie brings his signature grit to MobLand, a crime drama once pitched as a Ray Donovan spinoff.

If action is your genre, this is what to watch this weekend.
🎸 A Complete Unknown
Streaming on: Hulu
Timothée Chalamet channels Bob Dylan in this James Mangold–directed biopic chronicling Dylan’s early rise in 1960s New York. Skipping the usual biopic clichés, the film dives deep into the folk scene and earned Chalamet another Oscar nod. A must-see for music lovers.
