Hey everyone! Welcome back to What the Hell Should I Watch? I’m Steve Stebbing, joined once again by my co-host Chloe Stebbing, and we’re breaking down a fresh batch of new releases, festival favorites, and some unexpected gems!
First up, we dive into The Alto Knights, a mob drama starring Robert De Niro in a double role. Does it live up to the legacy of Goodfellas and Casino, or is it just another forgettable crime flick? We’ve got opinions.
Then, we take a look at The Penguin Lessons, starring Steve Coogan in a film based on Tom Michell’s real-life memoir about rescuing a stranded penguin in Argentina and the unexpected bond that follows. Is it a heartfelt adventure or just another feel-good drama? We break it down. Plus, we explore the Canadian indie Darkest Miriam, a powerful drama featuring Severance star Britt Lower.
For streaming picks, we check out the Oscar-nominated documentary Sugarcane on Disney+, the Michelle Williams-led limited series Dying for Sex, and Seth Rogen’s Hollywood satire The Studio. Plus, horror fans won’t want to miss Horror’s Greatest, a new docuseries celebrating the legends of the genre.
And to round things out, we’re adding some fresh picks to our collections, including Shameless: The Complete Series and a few must-watch horror documentaries now streaming on Shudder.
Next week, we’re reviewing Death of a Unicorn, Freaky Tales, Sacramento, and a bee-free Jason Statham experience.
