Hi, {{first_name | friend}}!
With holiday movie season officially underway, we're about to be inundated with Christmas rom-coms, festive family adventures, and more heartwarming stories than we could possibly watch before the end of the year. But while everyone's busy checking out the latest releases, I've got my sights set on something a little older. About 86 years older, to be exact.
That's right! Our December Worth the Watch movie club pick is The Shop Around the Corner, the 1940 holiday rom-com classic that inspired Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan’s You've Got Mail. And wouldn't you know it, a new remake of You've Got Mail was announced earlier this week. Talk about perfect timing! To join in on the fun, watch the movie (it’s streaming on HBO Max) before Friday, December 4.
Until then, we've got plenty of new shows and movies to keep you entertained. Let’s dive in!
Yours,
John

The Biggest Premieres of the Weekend
A new spin on Robin Hood for the TikTok generation and a powerful true story about the fight for equal rights. Here are the two movies to watch this weekend.
How to Rob a Bank
In theaters now
A crew of bank robbers go viral for posting their heists online, putting them in the crosshairs of an FBI agent (John C. Reilly) and a brilliant software engineer (Zoë Kravitz). From the mind behind The Fall Guy and Bullet Train comes this slick, quick-witted heist thriller that puts a modern spin on the kind of action movies Hollywood used to make.

Hidden Gem Spotlight: Backstabbing Edition
Black Sails
In the lawless Caribbean, Captain Flint (Toby Stephens) fights to maintain control of his crew while navigating rival pirates, dangerous alliances, and ruthless power struggles in Black Sails. If you loved the political scheming and shocking betrayals of Game of Thrones, this criminally underrated series deserves a spot on your watchlist. And speaking of GoT, I finally finished watching the series for the first time, and let's just say my take on that infamous ending might ruffle some feathers!
Coming Soon
🏥 The Grey’s Anatomy spinoff series has found its lead actress!
🦸 Avengers: Endgame Encore, the extended version of the 2019 blockbuster arrives on Disney+ today.
🍾 The Gen Z comedy, Adults, has been renewed for Season 3.
