This week’s happenings include:

FILM

• DESPICABLE ME 4 (7:13-9:51) – Now playing in theaters nationwide.
• SPACE CADET (9:51-11:33) – Now streaming on Prime Video.
• BEVERLY HILLS COP: AXEL F (11:33-17:29) – Eddie Murphy and Co. still possess the comedic prowess. Blending hilarious comedy, astute commentary, and a truly impactful father-daughter narrative, Axel F is a high note for the Beverly Hills Cop series. You can also read Courtney Howard’s full review here. Now streaming on Netflix.
• MAXXXINE (17:29-30:50) – MaXXXine is totally rad! Mia Goth is a mega force. Now playing in theaters.

TV

• THE ACOLYTE (Ep. 6) (30:50-44:41) – Now streaming on Disney+, with new episodes on Tuesdays.
• THAT 90s SHOW: PART TWO (44:41-49:53) – The potential that was evident in its first season is fading in Part 2. Instead of aiming for emotional depth, avoiding desperation for laughs, and delivering thoughtful dialogue like That ’70s Show often did, it’s relying on cartoonish behavior without offering anything of substance. All episodes are now streaming on Netflix.
• SHARK VS. ROSS EDGLEY (49:53-56:23) – Ross Edgley brings an infectious energy to a documentary special that fascinatingly examines how human strength measures up against the ocean’s most enigmatic creatures. Now streaming on Disney+ and Hulu.
• THE BEAR: SEASON 3 (56:23-1:03:53) – Now streaming on Disney+ and Hulu.

INTERVIEWS
