What to Watch on Netflix This Weekend

The Sisters Brothers (2018)

Rating: R
Language: English
Genre: Drama, Western
Director: Jacques Audiard
Writer: Jacques Audiard, Thomas Bidegain, Patrick DeWitt
Runtime: 122 min / 2h 2m

A surprise addition today with some serious star power. We’re talking about Joaquin Phoenix, Jake Gyllenhaal, Riz Ahmed, and John C. Reilly, who all play incredible roles in this Western drama that sadly was a bit of a box office flop when it hit theaters six years ago and certainly has flown under my radar up until now. 

Set in the 1800s, we follow Hermann Kermit Warm, who is trying to keep his money making methods secret by sending two notorious assassins to capture the Commodore who may expose and bring his empire down.

EMILIA PÉREZ (2024)

Rating: R
Language: Spanish
Genre: Comedy, Crime, Musical
Director: Jacques Audiard
Cast: Zoe Saldana, Karla Sofía Gascón, Selena Gomez
Writer: Jacques Audiard, Thomas Bidegain, Nicolas Livecchi
Runtime: 130 min / 2h 10m

Perhaps Netflix’s best shot at a top award at next year’s Oscars came out this week with the acquired Netflix Original movie EMILIA PÉREZ, which dropped on Wednesday. “A cartel boss makes an ambitious lawyer an offer she can’t refuse in this musical drama,” reads the official description of the new film, which has struggled to crack the top 10s in most regions.

The movie has already been highly reviewed across the board, and we added our own review to the chorus of praise that was landed at EMILIA PÉREZ’s door. We gave it a four-star rating out of five, concluding:

“The best part about Emilia Perez is that there is nothing quite like Emilia Perez. Always engaging, full of life, tragedy, and a genre flex or impressive set piece around every turn. Strong performances from the Fab 5 (tossing in an interesting Edgar Ramirez performance for dessert) with flowers to the production values on a very modest budget. It is the best Netflix film of the year so far and the best chance for an acting win at the Oscars since Laura Dern won back in 2020.”

A.P. Bio (Seasons 1-4)

Number of episodes: 42
Rating: TV-14
Language: English
Genre: Comedy
Cast: Glenn Howerton, Lyric Lewis, Mary Sohn

As we first scooped, Netflix has acquired both the NBC and Peacock seasons of the well-reviewed albeit under-watched comedy sitcom. Created by Michael Patrick O’Brien, the series ran for four seasons in total before getting unceremoniously canceled, with the plot revolving around a disgraced Harvard philosophy scholar who loses out on his dream job and is forced to become a high school Advanced Placement biology teacher.
