Need a streaming break this weekend? Cheddar recommends a crime drama starring Bryan Cranston, a sequel series to 'That '70s Show,' an overlooked Disney family adventure, a horror flick generating some buzz, a modern film noir classic, and the mysterious and ooky Addams Family.

Your Honor: S2 - Showtime 

Picked by Reporter Lawrence Banton

So the return of Bryan Cranston in the second season of Showtime's Your Honor definitely caught me off guard this past weekend. Nonetheless, I am ecstatic to say the least. If you haven't watched the first season, stop reading right now and go watch! This second season will explore the fallout from Adam Desiato and one thing we know, Michael is now in jail but how he got there is currently the question. There are some new players this season, including Rosie Perez who joins the cast as a district attorney out to clean up New Orleans.

That 90s Show - Netflix

Picked by Growth Associate Keara O’Driscoll

I’ve been excited about this one! Now, this is a remake done right. That 90s Show gives viewers a glimpse into the next generation of teen havoc found in the basement of Red and Kitty Forman of Wisconsin (from That '70s Show). Where this show did it right is that it brought back not the main characters of its original show (*cough* *cough* Girl Meets World) but supporting characters who brought comic relief the last time and added new characters as well. The show offers a healthy and natural balance of old and new. It's unique in its offering a similar format to its predecessor but with original characters to fall in love with and a new decade to reminisce over.

Strange World - Disney+

Picked by Digital Editor Mike Nam

Unfortunately for Disney Animation, a rare box office flop in this day and age, Strange World is a charming steampunk-y adventure for all ages. It revolves around the famous Clade family of the world of Avalonia, an idyllic land completely surrounded by impassable mountains. A discovery of a fruit that provides electricity to power modern conveniences, like flying machines and streetlights, rapidly transforms the place. But something is killing the crops, and it's up to the Clades to discover the source of the problem — while father/son conflicts get resolved along the way. It's worth giving it a shot on the streaming service even if you passed on a theater showing.

The Harbinger

Picked by Reporter Alex Vuocolo 

I'm still catching up on all the low-budget horror movies that came out in 2022, and this weekend I'll be knocking out The Harbinger. Another pandemic-set tale, (my last pick was Sick on Peacock, about a killer who stalks two college students under lockdown at a lake house) it's about a woman leaving quarantine to help her friend who is haunted by nightmares. This act of benevolence draws her into her friend's hellish dreamscape, where she has to fight for her own survival. As a late-year release, the buzz around this indie horror flick is just beginning to form, but the early word is that it's a solid and imaginative entry in the genre.

Nightmare Alley - HBO Max, Hulu 

Picked by Sr. News Editor Dina Ross

This 2021 film noir was a surprise to me, both for the unexpected plot and the visual treats. The star-studded cast features a mysterious wanderer (Bradley Cooper) who joins a traveling circus. As he builds a life for himself with the carnies, he hones a new skill that he uses to do more than just amaze and entertain. Directed by Guillermo Del Toro, Cate Blanchett, Toni Collette, Rooney Mara, and William Dafoe are among the famed actors that grace this screen. Looking for something ominous and entertaining? This might be a good pick.

The Addams Family and Addams Family Values - Netflix

Picked by Newsletter Writer Graison Dangor

If Wednesday was your first exposure to the Addams Cinematic Universe, check out the self-titled 1991 movie and its 1993 sequel, Addams Family Values. They're lighter and campier than the Netflix series, but even if that's not your thing, the films are worth watching for Christina Ricci's OG take on Wednesday and for the chemistry between Anjelica Huston's Morticia and Raúl Juliá's Gomez. Also, had the movies come out today, the dancing scenes would probably go as viral on TikTok as Wednesday's iconic dance. Both titles are leaving Netflix after Tuesday the 31st, so appropriately you have until Wednesday to watch them.
