Are you looking for new releases in Film or Television to watch this weekend of June 24th!? Well, THS has you covered in our weekly series! So, make sure to come back each week as we compile all of our recommendations for you to check out on your days off. 

However, I wanted to break down this list and make it a little more personal. Kind of like when you walk into a book store and see the wall of employee recommendations. So, I’ll be breaking down this list as to what we at THS are watching, not necessarily every single thing releasing. 

JESSICA’S WATCHING

I’m going to be watching the latest Ms. Marvel on Disney+. Then, The Black Phone in theaters!. Also, I finally got around to starting Neon Genesis Evangelion (I missed the boat in the 90s, okay?). It’s streaming on Netflix.

SHAWN’S WATCHING

This weekend I’m going to be re-visiting the first couple of episodes of Apple TV+‘s Loot, even though the show didn’t fully impress me with its first season, it’s still a lot of fun.  Also, Netflix has the new Woody Harrelson-Kevin Hart action-comedy The Man From Toronto, which will be a good Friday night watch with friends.  And finally, I will be attempting to find a movie theater playing Marcel the Shell With Shoes On as I’ve heard it’s one of the best films of the year (an A24 clay-mation mockumentary film…!? I’m so in!)

SARAH’S WATCHING

I’m headed to theaters to watch The Black Phone and the new Elvis movie! Then, I’ll be streaming Loot on AppleTV+, and Trevor: The Musical on Disney+.

LAURA’S WATCHING

I’m super excited for The Black Phone!! So, it looks like I’m headed to the theater.

TRAVIS IS WATCHING

This weekend I’ll be streaming the latest episode of The Boys on Prime Video to see what new craziness always is. I’ll also be watching the first few episodes of Netflix’s Umbrella Academy season 3, or perhaps the entire season if I can’t resist the urge to binge-watch.

The film explores the life and music of Elvis Presley (Butler), seen through the prism of his complicated relationship with his enigmatic manager, Colonel Tom Parker (Hanks).

And they are dead set on making sure that what happened to them doesn’t happen to Finney.

With no memory of who they are or how long they’ve been asleep, they begin to realize they may have been part of a scientific experiment gone wrong. After a series of strange events, the scientists find themselves being hunted. They do not know who is hunting them or for what reason, but the scientists begin to suspect that one of them may be the killer.

Murder at Yellowstone City 

The once peaceful and booming Yellowstone City has fallen on hard times, but when a local prospector strikes gold, things seem to be turning around. Any hope is soon shattered when the prospector is found dead and the Sheriff quickly arrests a mysterious newcomer.

As the brutal murders continue, pitting neighbor against neighbor, Yellowstone City goes down a bloody path to a final showdown that not all will survive.

Beavis and Butt-Head Do the Universe

The saga begins when Beavis and Butt-Head wind up at space camp through “creative sentencing” from a juvenile court judge in 1998. Mistaking a docking simulator for something else (huh huh), Beavis and Butt-Head excel at it and are asked to join the space shuttle mission in a PR move. After ruining the mission, they are left for dead in space and end up going through a black hole and reemerging back on Earth in 2022, only to discover a very different world – and find themselves considered Buttholes of Interest by the NSA, the governor of Texas, and a highly intelligent version of themselves from a parallel universe. Also, they almost lose their virginity but don’t.

After an embarrassing incident at school, Trevor must summon the courage to forge his own path. The musical is based on the 1995 Academy Award-winning short film “Trevor” which ultimately inspired the nonprofit organization The Trevor Project.

Rise

Audiences have never seen a story like that of the Antetokounmpos. After emigrating from Nigeria to Greece, Charles and Vera Antetokounmpo (Dayo Okeniyi and Yetide Badaki, respectively) struggled to survive and provide for their five children, while living under the daily threat of deportation. With their oldest son still in Nigeria with relatives, the couple were desperate to obtain Greek citizenship but found themselves undermined by a system that blocked them at every turn.

When they weren’t selling items to tourists on the streets of Athens with the rest of the family, the brothers – Giannis (Uche Agada) and Thanasis (Ral Agada) – would play basketball with a local youth team. Latecomers to the sport, they discovered their great abilities on the basketball court and worked hard to become world-class athletes, along with brother, Kostas (Jaden Osimuwa). With the help of an agent, Giannis entered the NBA Draft in 2013 in a long-shot prospect that would change not only his life but the life of his entire family. And last season, Giannis and Thanasis helped bring the Milwaukee Bucks their first championship ring in 50 years, while Kostas played for the previous season’s champs, the Los Angeles Lakers.
