We found a romcom to rival When Harry Met Sally (maybe). In the first episode of Weekend Watch for 2026, Tina Burke gushes over this book adaptation. With a gorgeous cast, great writing and steamy scenes, we think it deserved a cinematic release.

Plus, Em is losing her head over a musical thats in cinemas. Recorded in the same style as Hamilton, its the perfect way to get your theatre hit without the price tag. Don't let the fact that its a musical discourage you, this show is basically a Spice Girls concert.

And a new limited series has Laura hooked. Starring Tessa Thompson and Jon Bernthal, this thriller is full of twists and turns. No spoilers, but Em is pretty sure she knows how it ends.
