Hey, {{first_name | friend}}!
My watchlist has gotten genuinely out of control—we’re talking over 2,000 shows and movies I haven't gotten to yet. I'm currently watching Scrubs (2001) for the first time, which tells you everything you need to know about my relationship with "keeping up."
That said, everyone has that one actor they'll drop everything for. Mine is Nicolas Cage, who just so happens to be making his television debut today.
But if he’s not your vibe, don’t worry. There are plenty of other premieres this week that have people genuinely frothing. Keep reading to stay in the know.
Yours,
John

Pressure
Only in theaters this Friday
In the 72 hours before D-Day, the Allied fleet was loaded onto ships and the date was set—and then the weather started to turn. Pressure chronicles the tense moments leading up to one of history's most consequential decisions. Brendan Fraser and Andrew Scott lead this untold true story alongside Kerry Condon, Chris Messina, and Damian Lewis. Only in theaters this Friday.
Up Next: Biggest Mid-Week Premieres
Two long-awaited shows just dropped. The second season of a YA mystery and arguably the most anticipated show of the year.
Spider-Noir
Streaming now on Prime Video
Nic Cage stars as Ben Reilly, an aging, down-on-his-luck private investigator in 1930s New York forced to reckon with his past life as the city's only superhero. Each episode drops in both authentic black-and-white and full-color, letting viewers pick their preferred version. My initial thought is: why not watch both?
A Good Girl's Guide to Murder
Season 2 streaming now on Netflix
Season 2 picks up with Pip (Emma Myers) trying to put the Andie Bell case behind her—until a friend's brother goes missing two days before the trial. Adapted from Holly Jackson's second novel in the trilogy, with Jackson herself on the writing team this time.
