Hi, {{first_name | friend}}!
We're in that strange stretch of November when Halloween is still fresh in our minds, but Christmas is already popping up around every corner.
This week's premieres are no different. We've got one last dose of spooky season, and, I must warn you, holiday movies are already beginning their annual takeover of streaming services. But we're not forgetting about Thanksgiving! Check out John's review of one incredibly chaotic turkey classic in Worth the Watch. Whatever you're in the mood for, there's plenty to watch (and lots of ⭐power).
Happy streaming,
Meredith

Biggest Premieres of the Week
There’s no shortage of star power this week, with Jessica Chastain, Anthony Mackie, Jamie Dornan, Rose Byrne, and Meghann Fahy all headlining new streaming releases. We’ve also got a return to Middle-earth and more Mormon Wives drama. But these two have caught my eye:
The Body
Streaming Nov. 11 on Netflix
Oh, you thought spooky season was over? Think again. Set at a Catholic girls' school in 2004, this psychological horror follows a dance team whose initiation ritual goes horribly wrong, sparking mass hysteria throughout the town. And for my fellow reality TV fans, Gabby Windey (The Bachelorette, The Traitors) makes her acting debut!

Ebenezer
In theaters Nov. 13
Even Christmas is getting a darker twist, and it turns out we may not know the story of Ebenezer Scrooge as well as we thought. Johnny Depp takes on the iconic role in this new adaptation of A Christmas Carol, with filmmaker Ti West (X, Pearl, MaXXXine) at the helm. The star-studded cast also includes Rupert Grint, Daisy Ridley, Tramell Tillman, and Ian McKellen.

What Vets Feed Their Own Dogs
When a veterinarian can’t find a dog food she feels good about, that’s a bad sign for dog food. So Dr. Tory made her own — for her dog, Mabel, first. That became Sundays, and it’s still vet-operated today.
The dogs have noticed. In an independent taste test, 39 dogs were given a choice: Sundays’ chicken recipe or traditional kibble. Kibble lost, 39–0. Every recipe is human-grade (if you wouldn’t eat it, why should they?) and air-dried to lock in nutrition and flavor — no fridge, no prep, no cleanup.
