We have it all in this edition of Weekend Watch. First, a dinosaur doco narrated by Morgan Freeman that’s equal parts thrilling and educational. 

Then, a reality dating show exploring age-gap romance like you’ve never seen it before, with 40 singles hiding their ages, commitment rings, and plenty of awkward, heartwarming moments.

Plus, an action-packed, team-based military movie where elite rangers take on a mysterious killer machine — explosions, guns, and just a touch of supernatural chaos make it impossible to look away.

And finally, a new Colleen Hoover adaptation brings her signature emotional twists and on-screen chemistry to life — perfect for anyone who loves romance, drama, and the moments that make you ugly-cry. Four very different vibes. One very stacked weekend.

Here are the bloopers from Em's Dinosaur doco that she thinks are hilarious.

Buckle up because today's episode might get us cancelled. Laura and Emily are ranking the fictional couples pop culture told them not to root for, and yes, that means a lot of incest chat, starting with Game of Thrones and House of the Dragon (twins, aunts, uncles, they've heard it all).

Then things get weirder with Interview with a vampire mother-son storyline Laura insists is "actually really beautiful," and a Disney Channel show that low-key broke Emily's brain with its step-sibling tension.

But the real chaos comes when Laura reveals her most controversial ship of all time — a pairing so unpopular Em can barely speak after hearing it. Enemies to lovers, questionable ethics, and one couple they finally agree on. Grab a drink, this one's a lot.

The Most Inappropriate Fictional Couples We Are Secretly Rooting For

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/3ea926be-9be7-482a-8ac3-a44f016e43d1/clips/b3400525-2bdf-4eb2-9726-b4b40046040a/transcript

This week we have a Disney+ sports comedy back for a second season, starring Glenn Powell in what might just be the best he's ever been. A cancelled quarterback, a full-face disguise and a forbidden romance with the coach's daughter, it's a chaotic, no-stakes watch you'll absolutely fly through.

Plus, an honest opinion on the Netflix thriller that's become the week's biggest talking point, boasting a jaw-dropping cast (Robert De Niro, Michael Keaton, Michelle Monaghan and Adam Scott). We reveal why a premise this good, with a cast this stacked, doesn't quite land the way you'd hope.

And finally, two very different reality-adjacent watches: the new Netflix reality series pulling back the curtain on TikTok's ultimate it-girl and her famous family (and maybe, finally, some answers on a feud we're obsessed with), plus a documentary about a certain Olympic breakdancer that you'll definitely remember.

Weekend Watch: The Best Glenn Powell's Ever Been & An Honest Opinion On Netflix's Buzziest Thriller

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/3ea926be-9be7-482a-8ac3-a44f016e43d1/clips/ba325483-9ef8-4e33-8af9-b4b40045cb9b/transcript

one of the hottest tickets in Hollywood. Julia Stiles is officially hitting the dance floor, Taylor Hanson has made an unexpected appearance, and Jenna Dewan is already having to defend herself against claims she has an unfair advantage. We unpack the wild new line-up and why celebrities are suddenly desperate to get on the show.

Plus, newly single Isla Fisher is dating again, and she’s revealed the incredibly specific moment a man gave her an irreversible ick. The poor guy was simply trying to catch his runaway dog, but unfortunately the way he did it changed everything. We get into Isla’s confession and the dating icks that prove celebrities really are just like us.

And why haven’t we seen a single official photo from Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s wedding? Travis has finally shared some new details about their big day, including why they chose Madison Square Garden and how they managed to keep the whole thing so private. But we have another theory about why Taylor might still be keeping those wedding photos under wraps.
