The Sydney Sweeney and Glen Powell romantic comedy âAnyone But Youâ hitting Netflix and an album by Brazil superstar Anitta are some of the new television, movies, music and games headed to a device near you.
Also among the streaming offerings worth your time as selected by The Associated Pressâ entertainment journalists: Everyoneâs favorite dancing demon doll âM3GANâ comes back to Peacock, a beautiful woman battles hideous beasts in Sony’s video game Stellar Blade, and a documentary detailing Bon Jovi’s early days, rise to fame and breakups and breakdowns.
â The Sydney Sweeney and Glen Powell romantic comedy âAnyone But Youâ is finally on Netflix starting Tuesday. The movie is about two young singles whose magical one-night stand ends in miscommunication and hurt feelings, and then find themselves both in a small family wedding party and staying in the same house. Itâs loosely based on Shakespeareâs âMuch Ado About Nothing.â Reviews were mixed and the box office started out tame, but it became a slow burn sleeper hit in theaters, earning more than $218 million worldwide. If youâve been holding out to see what the fuss was about, now is your low stakes chance . And afterwards, if you need a rom-com palate cleanser, âYouâve Got Mailâ is also currently on Netflix.
â Another stealth box office hit, everyoneâs favorite dancing demon doll âM3GANâ is coming back to Peacock starting Wednesday. Is it great cinema? Probably not, but everyone who watches it seems to have a fun time . Entertainment Weeklyâs Leah Greenblatt wrote in her review that, âThis is not the morose, carnage-soaked horror of dank basements and clammy night terrors; most of the movie happens in bright daylight, every maniacal head tilt, ungodly hip swivel, and murder-by-gardening-tool calibrated for screams that end not with a gasp but a giggle. M3GAN came to play, and possibly reboot her motherboard for a sequel. Are you not entertained?â
â Finally, if youâve exhausted all your âTortured Poetsâ analysis, you can pivot to watching a Joe Alwyn movie instead. He stars in Claire Denisâ 2022 romantic thriller âStars at Noon,â which comes to Hulu on Sunday, . Based on the 1986 Denis Johnson novel, Margaret Qualley plans an American journalist in Nicaragua during COVID-19 who starts an affair with a mysterious British guy, played by Alwyn.

Sheâs long aimed to bring Brazilian sounds to the worldwide music market, and focusing on Brazilian funk is an extension of that desire. ââFunk Generationâ is an album where I celebrate my roots. Itâs where I express the power of Rioâs funk in every track its unique, danceable, and sensual beats,â she said in a statement. âItâs a rhythm born in the favelas, where I grew up, and it exudes resistance and art in every community.â
â It is time to give Midwest MCs their flowers: Fresh off a tour opening for Migos rapper Offset, Detroitâs Skilla Baby is preparing to drop a new project on Friday, , âThe Coldest.â If his trap earworm âBae,â with its celebratory, ladies-first lyrics and the community-focused âPlateâ are a taste of whatâs to come, the release is going to be delicious.
