When it comes to making your lazy weekend a tad bit lazier, nothing beats a fresh lineup of streams. This weekend might seem like the understudy rather than the star of show streaming, with big names like Jessica Alba kicking back in a “leave-your-brain-at-the-door” flick, “Trigger Warning” on Netflix. It’s perfect if your idea of a thrilling weekend is watching someone else save a town while you barely save room for popcorn.
Switch gears to the gaming haunted pizzeria with “Five Nights at Freddy’s” on Sky and NOW. The film serves up a slice of horror straight from the gamer world with murderous animatronics making sure you’ll double-check your locks tonight. Psst, you might also want to keep an eye on that suspiciously silent toaster. Meanwhile, if you thought history lessons were boring, “Black Barbie” on Netflix will school you on how three visionary women at Mattel rerouted the doll’s destiny, weaving an empowering narrative that’s more gripping than your grandma’s knitting.
And just when you thought real life couldn’t outdo cinema, “Perfect Wife: The Mysterious Disappearance of Sherri Papini” on Hulu rolls in with a true-crime story so twisty it could double as a yoga pose. If binge-watching was an Olympic sport, this week’s stream-a-thon might just train you well enough for a couch potato gold.
**Hot Take**
If your plans include deciding between watching “Trigger Warning” and actually learning how to disarm a booby trap, remember, one will definitely entertain you…and the other is just a movie on Netflix. Cheers to choices that make you wish your couch came with seat belts and popcorn holders!
