A three-hour Nolan epic, a Canadian coming-of-age drama gone taboo, and a reunion sketch pitch disguised as a dinner party. Steve Stebbing breaks down what is actually worth the runtime this weekend, plus the streaming picks worth queueing up after.

The Big Screen Verdict

Steve calls Christopher Nolan's take on The Odyssey a career-best turn for Matt Damon, with Anne Hathaway and Tom Holland holding their own against a cast stacked with talent. He also digs into Steal Away, a messy but ambitious Canadian coming-of-age drama, and The Invite, a four-hander he ranks among the year's best scripts.

What's Actually Worth Streaming

From Will Ferrell playing a washed-up golfer at full volume to a Canadian family business turned viral reality show, Steve maps out the streaming landscape. He also raises a real worry about whether Ted Lasso can survive its move from a small English club to Kansas City.
