Hey everyone! Welcome back to What the Hell Should I Watch? I’m Steve Stebbing, still solo while Chloe’s away, and this week I’m digging into rage virus sequels, MCU redemption arcs, rom-com subversions, and more vintage gold for the Blu-ray shelf. Let’s go.
🎬 In Theaters & New Releases:
🧟 28 Years Later – Danny Boyle returns with a bold, emotional, and chaotic follow-up to 28 Days Later. Jodie Comer gives a hell of a performance in a powerful new story, and yes—it’s messy, but worth it.
💔 Materialists – Celine Song (Past Lives) returns with a sharp, stylish romantic dramedy starring Pedro Pascal, Dakota Johnson, and Chris Evans. Subtly funny and loaded with great moments.
💣 Bride Hard – Rebel Wilson stars in a Die Hard-meets-destination-wedding action comedy that completely fumbles the tone. A misfire.
🛡️ Ironheart (Disney+) – Marvel returns to Disney+ with a surprisingly focused origin story. Anthony Ramos, Dominique Thorne, and Alden Ehrenreich bring it together. Better than expected.
🤼♀️ The Queen of Villains (Netflix) – A gripping documentary about Dump Matsumoto and the heyday of women’s pro wrestling in Japan. Great energy and archival footage.
📀 Physical Media Picks:
💿 Three the Hard Way – Blaxploitation classic with Fred Williamson, Jim Brown, and Jim Kelly, finally on Blu-ray.
🩸 Karla – A dramatization of Canada’s most notorious killer couple: Karla Homolka and Paul Bernardo. Disturbing subject matter, handled with mixed results.
🕵️♀️ Murder, She Wrote: The Complete Series – The full Jessica Fletcher saga. 50 discs. 12 seasons. All the mystery.
🍸 Dr. No (4K) – Bond’s first outing looks fantastic.
👀 Next Week Preview:
