What to watch this weekend matters more when the platforms are actively burying the answer. You know the scroll. You've done it. Six recommendations spanning both theatres and streaming: one audio horror that critics are already calling the first great scare of the year, one that will make you rethink what a children's film can do, and one the experts simply can't get behind.

One Horror Film, One Children's Odyssey, One Hard Pass

Undertone is audio-based horror built around a podcaster receiving mysterious tapes, and the reviews are astronomical right now. The President's Cake wraps an entire political darkness inside a nine-year-old girl's mission to bake Saddam Hussein's birthday cake in 1990s Iraq. Reminders of Him is the Colleen Hoover adaptation that earns the hard pass.

Three Streaming Picks Worth Actually Opening the App For
Rooster on Crave reunites the Bill Lawrence warmth of Ted Lasso with Steve Carell, and it is exactly what it sounds like in the best way. Scarpetta brings a long-awaited Patricia Cornwell adaptation to Prime Video, led by Nicole Kidman at a pace that raises its own questions. And One Piece Season Two on Netflix is making believers out of anime skeptics.
