Brace yourselves for back-to-back Annie Hathaway. If you\u2019re desperate to return to the halls of Runway, maybe Hathaway playing a Taylor Swift\u2013esque<\/a> (or is she more Lady Gaga?) pop star will tide you over with Mother Mary. Then there\u2019s also another film out about the late IRL pop star Michael Jackson, but let\u2019s see what other movies and television are playing this weekend.<\/p>\n

Before Anne Hathaway steps back into the Chanel boots<\/a>, she\u2019s stepping into pop superstardom. Director David Lowery\u2019s film is inspired by Taylor Swift<\/a>, with Hathaway\u2019s pop star looking to reconnect with her former friend and creative partner (Michaela Coel) ahead of her most important concert yet. Plus Taylor Swift collaborator Jack Antonoff, Charli XCX<\/a>, and FKA Twigs worked on the music that Hathaway performs.<\/p>\n

Richard Gadd\u2019s Baby Reindeer was an inescapable phenomenon, a Russian-doll-like unfurling of narrative and character that captured how trauma trails us through all phases of our lives. His next show follows two men, Niall (Jamie Bell) and Ruben (Gadd), who grew up like brothers and reconnect after Ruben\u2019s release from prison. Also, Gadd got really jacked, if that\u2019s something you\u2019re into. \u2014Roxana Hadadi<\/p>\n

Zach Galifianakis is going from ferns to gardens. In this short and sweet series, he tackles different gardening-related topics as each episode\u2019s host. Galifianakis still deploys some of his deadpan affect, but this time with younger children as he shows them the ropes.<\/p>\n

\u27bd For a less wholesome Saturday night: The White House Correspondents\u2019 Dinner<\/a> is on CSPAN.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s Charlize Theron versus Taron Egerton, literally. In her latest Netflix action effort, Theron plays a woman who sets off on a trip to Australia to soothe her grief but unwittingly crosses paths with Egerton\u2019s unnerving hunter, who forces her into a game of cat and mouse.<\/p>\n

\u27bd It fortunately feels more like a real movie<\/a> than most released by Netflix.<\/p>\n

Running Point has a killer cast. Where else would Kate Hudson and Drew Tarver (a.k.a. Carey Dubek<\/a>) play siblings? While Hudson\u2019s Isla Gordon tries to maintain her spot as L.A. Waves president, alongside Brenda Song (another fun casting choice), the most inspired role of this season might be the Lisa Rinna cameo.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019ve enjoyed Nikki Glaser at the Golden Globes<\/a>, you\u2019ll probably dig her new special. Unfortunately, Leonardo DiCaprio and his love for pasta<\/a> will not be in the crowd. We think.<\/p>\n

You thought Netflix was done with Stranger Things? The first spinoff from the hugely popular IP is an animated series set between seasons two and three. Odessa A\u2019zion voices Nikki Baxter, a new kid who befriends our core group of Hawkins kids.<\/p>\n

\u201cTimoth\u00e9e Chalamet\u2019s Best Actor loss to Michael B. Jordan was the final step in what turned out to be a head-spinning rise and fall for the 30-year-old actor over the course of this awards season.\u201d \u2014Nate Jones on the actor\u2019s Ping-Pong roller coaster<\/a> of a campaign<\/p>\n

\u27bd Plus Yorgos Lanthimos\u2019s Oscar-nominated Bugonia is now on Netflix after some time on Peacock.<\/p>\n
