The 12 Best Movies and TV Shows to Watch This Weekend

Maybe this will help narrow your scope this weekend. This week has a lot going for it, from a Bruce Springsteen biopic, to Rose Byrne giving the performance of a lifetime, to the continuing love story between a hot rabbi and a podcaster. Then there's a trip back to Derry (because people haven't learned to just go live anywhere else in Maine) so Pennywise can terrorize a whole new crop of kids, and another chapter of Anne Rice's television universe premieres on AMC+.

The scariest part of The Wicker Man isn't its eponymous effigy; it's realizing what the natives of Summerisle will do to placate their gods. And while the ghosts haunting the Overlook Hotel may unnerve readers of The Shining, it is Jack Torrance's maniacal relapse that truly grips the spine.
