The 13 Best Movies and Shows to Watch This Week

Hello againor I say ciao? I don’t know how many of you are watching Emily from Parisbut you should know that Emily is going to Rome on a jet plane. Why the sudden move from France to Italy? Who knows, but if a European vacation isn’t your style, there are always shroom tours and cranberry farms. My Old Assa new drama from filmmaker Megan Park. There are also shows this week in honor of the second Emmys of the year (confusing, we know), James McAvoy freaking out in a Danish horror remake, Colin Jost and Michael Che doing comedy away from the table of news, and – twist! – a comedy series that premieres on CNN. What a week! Happy Friday the 13th.

I went in My Old Ass for Aubrey Plaza but ended up falling in love with Maisy Stella’s screen star. Both Plaza and Stella play Elliott at different ages, and to My Old Ass18-year-old Elliott (Stella) is her target as she enjoys her last summer before college. Other shroom trips allow the older Elliott to impart wisdom while the younger Elliott gets into shenanigans.

➼ We called this “low key destruction.”

Splitting this season in two is so annoying, Netflix. Emily from Paris it’s a show that, when you watch it, you want to binge. Since the streamer uses this two-part format – without input from the show’s creators, such as Darren Star in this case – we still get the development of the remaining five episodes of the fourth season, which sends Emily to Rome . Another language for him to learn badly! However, I still like to watch.

➼ This show is there to put Lily Collins in the Audrey Hepburn look, and you have to respect the fuss.

If it feels like you just watched a bunch of people accepting the Emmys on TV, that’s because last year’s was held in January due to sanctions. But then we do this year’s Emmys, which most of them will go to Bearbut for its second season, not the third we all saw earlier this summer. Do you have all that? — Jen Chaney

If you like comedy quiz show Wait Wait… Don’t Tell Me! at NPR, you’re probably pumped for CNN’s Have I Got News For You?. The adaptation of the British series that asks the broadcasters in the back issues is directed by the comic Roy Wood Jr. and “team captains” Amber Ruffin and Michael Ian Black. — Rohana Hadad

Natasha Rothwell was a joy to watch White Lotus season one (and will return for season three) and me Insecurityso it’s great to see him continue his own comedy series. To How to Die AloneRothwell is a neurotic woman who decides to try not to die alone after nearly dying without experiencing love.

“Old man it’s an amazing show,” Roxana Hadadi and Nicholas Quah wrote earlier this week explaining its merits. “It’s basically a soap opera with old men and guns, but it makes a lot of bold decisions, interesting ones that might be called ordinary.” And in the second season, the spy led by Jeff Bridges is even more surprising.

The Laura Eason-starrer adaptation of the book of the same name is Starz’s first after being canceled by Showtime before an early 2023 release.

Jost and Che perform special comedy at the Peacock. Will it pass SNL or wait more? No one knows, but everyone is still hanging on to register after the Olympics. —Kathryn VanArendonk

The main quartet of actors Civil War (Kristen Dunst, Cailee Spaney, Wagner Moura, and Stephen McKinley Henderson) each give strong performances, but one scene in Civil War what was most frightening was the perfect use of Jesse Plemons. Nick Quah shattered that notion further with this ode to the terrifying Plemons.
