What to watch this weekend spans a video game brawler that earns its cheese, a sheep murder mystery with a cast nobody predicted, and a 2008 film making its case as the greatest sports movie ever made. Two conversations. One list.

When the Sheep Start Asking Questions

Carl Urban steps into Mortal Kombat 2 as Johnny Cage and runs with it. The Sheep Detectives sends an animated flock after the killer of their shepherd, Hugh Jackman, with Julia Louis Dreyfus, Brian Cranston, and Brett Goldstein in the cast. The Billie Eilish concert film, co-directed by James Cameron, is built for fans and not designed to make new ones.

The 2008 Film That Finally Gets Its Due

Speed Racer, remastered in 4K and arriving on Blu-ray, gets called the greatest sports movie ever made. Remarkably Bright Creatures pairs Sally Field and Lewis Pullman in an unlikely aquarium friendship on Netflix. Legends and The Terror: Devil in Silver round out the picks for crime and horror.
