Hi, {{first_name | friend}}!
Happy Friday! The highlight of the week was the release of the Avengers: Doomsday trailer, which Marvel wisely released right after The Odyssey mania hit its peak. This weekend we’re pivoting back to couch content, so keep reading to discover the best movies to stream at home after The Odyssey, the biggest movie premiering over the weekend, and more.
Worth the Watch also drops today, and this edition is all about 5 psychological thrillers that shook me to my core. It’s always been my favorite genre, so I decided it was finally time to dive into the movies and shows that still live rent-free in my head. For more deep dives like this, subscribe to Pix Plus.

The Reviews Are In
Lots of long-awaited shows and movies dropped this week. According to critics, one is great, and one is… not.

The Biggest Premiere of the Weekend
Together with Apple TV
The Dink
Now streaming on Apple TV
Apple TV continues its comedy hot streak (if you still haven’t seen Widow’s Bay, what are you doing?) with today’s premiere of their Jake Johnson-led pickleball comedy. With Mary Steenburgen, Ed Harris, Andy Roddick, Patton Oswalt, and Ben Stiller, it’s a no-brainer for a movie night this weekend.

Instaworthy Accommodations:
Set along the Intracoastal Waterway, Omni Fort Lauderdale Hotel offers a refined, full-service stay with front-row views of passing yachts, winding canals, and, from higher floors, the Atlantic Ocean.

Epic Action Movies To Watch After The Odyssey
Timelines have been flooded with discussions surrounding The Odyssey (and hilarious clips of the 4DX experience). If you loved it and want something similar to watch, we’ve got you covered.
Troy
Achilles (Brad Pitt) and Hector (Eric Bana) face off on opposite sides of the Trojan War in this sprawling, blood-soaked epic based on Homer’s Iliad. If Nolan's film left you craving even more battle scenes, this is the pick.
The Northman
Based on the same Scandinavian legend that inspired Hamlet, Alexander Skarsgård plays a Viking prince hellbent on avenging his father. The final battle alone is reason to watch.
