What to WatchKid Cudi's new romcom arrives on Netflix, Schitt's Creek leaves, 👻 stories, and more
Hi friends, And goodbye September. If you’re the type of person to celebrate Halloween as a month-long event, for you I included new-ish scary titles in this week’s top picks. It’s not my favorite genre to watch, but I am resolving to change that this year, so expect to see more horror in the next few weeks. I hope you have a nice weekend! OUR TOP TV SHOW OF THE WEEKThe EmpressOn Netflix 🌟rating: 7.7/10 The Empress, about the eccentric and headstrong Empress Elisabeth of Austria, is new on Netflix. Likened to The Crown, the 19th-century period piece is visually stunning and often solemn, but it’s also packed with enough politicking and raciness to keep it simmering with classic filmic drama. I admittedly did not know much about Elisabeth before this, but now that I do, I get why she’s so often portrayed in the media—her unconventional upbringing and favor for the disenfranchised are what warmed her to people then and what warms her to audiences now. This year alone, she’s the subject matter of a Netflix series and a critically acclaimed film (Corsage) starring Vicky Krieps. OUR TOP MOVIE OF THE WEEKEntergalacticNew on Netflix 🌟 rating: 8.1/10 Entergalactic, a vibrant animated romcom from the mind of musician Kid Cudi, follows new neighbors Jabari (Cudi) and Meadow (Jessica Williams) as they navigate their way through the ups and downs of modern love. They’re both established artists at the height of their careers, but when it comes to romance, they’re still scraping for lessons, which they mostly get from equally clueless but funny friends. Featuring songs from Cudi’s latest record of the same name, Entergalactic doubles as a visual album that comes to life with every beat and movement. It also stars many familiar names, among them Timothée Chalamet, Vanessa Hudgens, Ty Dolla $ign, Jaden Smith, and Macaulay Culkin. Top picks outside of Netflix and Amazon Prime
