In the words of Taylor Swift, we’re” back to December, “and while that spelled heartbreak for 2010 Taylor, it spells time for the vacations for everyone else. While there’s an outright myriad of holiday movies to choose from, two brand-new entries are contending for your Christmas-viewing rotation, most especially Matt Rogers’s new special, Have You Heard of Christmas? Here, the rest of our picks for this quiet post-holiday weekend:

Enjoy Brad Pitt get his ass kicked, Bad Bunny look menacing and still hot, and Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Brian Tyree Henry steal the program as a sincere, shit-talking set of assassin siblings. Where’s their spinoff?!
Offered to stream on Netflix.

Society needed it, and obviously, in Violent Night, he plays a Santa who kicks ass, which is LOL. Who does he kick ass for? Well, while delivering his annual presents, he discovers himself in your home of a wealthy family getting recorded by mercenaries. Great timing for them, truly. Violent Night might not get in the pantheon of all-time terrific Christmas films, but it might induce a laugh and a cheer, so if you’re interested, why not examine it out?

Any Las Cultch fan understands Rogers (and Yang) end each podcast episode bursting into song, and in Rogers’s brand-new Showtime unique, he carries out a funny hour-long ode to Christmas. It’ll be a fun addition to your vacation rotation.

To be honest, the very first season of this reboot might’ve stood to be a lot messier (in regards to the scandal and drama). Just let the girlies be suggest! But season two is appearing like it’ll step that department up a bit. It does help that this season is restoring OG Gossip Lady’s disorderly queen bitch Georgina Sparks (played by Michelle Trachtenberg).
Readily available to stream on HBO Max.

Now off the heels of The Rings of Power and Home of the Dragon, Lucasfilm is keeping the ball rolling with Willow, a fantastical experience series based on the 1988 movie of the very same name. Warwick Davis returns as the eponymous hero-slash-sorcerer and is signed up with by Willow newbies like Solo starlet Erin Kellyman, Tony Revolori, Ruby Cruz, Dempsey Bryk, and more as this new group of characters venture off onto a dangerous mission. You understand the drill.
