Are you looking for new releases in Film or Television to watch this weekend of September 23rd!? 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 a bit torn between originally really wanting to see Don’t Worry Darling, and now not feeling like I want to support it at the box office… my guaranteed watch though is the return of Great British Bake-Off on Netflix!
LAURA’S WATCHING
Being my birthday weekend I’m going to Palm Springs BUT I am not missing House of the Dragon on HBOMax Sunday. Also going to try and watch Andor on Disney+, as well as Dahmer – Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story on Netflix.
BRIAN’S WATCHING
Andor on Disney+. I only just caught up on the first two episodes last night and I’m knocking out the third one later on.
TRAVIS IS WATCHING
Does watching Greg walk around a convention with his Vader cane and getting stopped every few minutes about it count? Lol..
But in actual streaming… I’m spending the weekend catching up on some international mystery and action with “Blood and Treasure” on Paramount+.
DARRYL’S WATCHING
Everything Everywhere All At Once, Tenet, and maybe the first season of Fate: The Winx Saga on Netflix.

LINSAY’S WATCHING
Andor on Disney+ is fantastic. I think it’s the best live-action Star Wars show. I’ll be watching Rings of Power on Prime Video, as well as Resident Alien, and Reservation Dogs on Hulu.
BENJY’S WATCHING
Funnily enough about Star Wars, I plan to finally watch The Last Jedi and The Rise of Skywalker for myself on Disney+, just to see for myself if they’re as bad as people say they are. :3
JJ’S WATCHING
Andor on Disney+ (again) and going to binge Firefly in honor of the 20th anniversary.
