Getting George Clooney in a movie is usually a good deal. The same goes for Brad Pitt.

you together? in the same film? C’mon, that’s a BOGO fucking bargain. The “Ocean’s Eleven” partners are back on the same screen – and streaming to boot! – with the Apple TV+ action comedy “Wolfs”, one of our new viewing recommendations at the end of September. If you need a proper Netflix binge, we recommend the romantic comedy “Nobody Wants This” with Kristen Bell and Adam Brody. And yes, that title is terrible. But this is much better: My Old Ass is a coming-of-age dramedy that brings together Aubrey Plaza and Maisy Stella. (Remember the little girl from the ABC country soap “Nashville”? That’s her!)

Now for the good stuff:

Watch George Clooney and Brad Pitt together in “Wolfs” on Apple TV+

“Wolfs” (now streaming on Apple TV+) stars Clooney and Pitt as rival “fixers” hired to do the same job, two old dogs with no desire to learn new tricks. (Fun fact: I met Clooney’s pooch once over Zoom during the pandemic. It was great.) While the film is stylish and cool, it hits a lot of the usual buddy comedy tropes, but its two leads are just a joy, watching them together and jokingly and staring each other down as their characters go from enemies to partners as their night gradually goes wrong. (Check out my ★★★ review.)

There are actually a lot of good options when it comes to streaming new movies. That’s why I’ve put together a guide for your weekend viewing pleasure. Movie releases like Civil War and Challengers — two of the year’s best films, I might add — are worth catching up on if you haven’t had the chance yet, but be sure to check out original films, too. like the heartwarming Will Ferrell documentary Will & Harper and the Rosemary’s Baby prequel Apartment 7A.

Stream Nobody Wants This on Netflix with Kristen Bell and Adam Brody

Remember how I said a week ago that The Penguin was the best new show of the year? Well, Nobody Wants This (now streaming on Netflix) is an absolute delight right after the Batman villain. Bell stars as the host of a saucy podcast who falls in love with a recently single rabbi (Brody), which causes problems for both the agnostic woman and the very Jewish man when they get together, but the show also explores surprises meaningful way of how much our previous relationships influence and inform our new ones. TV critic Kelly Lawler is also a fan, calling the show “absolutely delicious” and the two leads “electric and sexy” in her ★★★½ star review.

My colleague Erin Jensen interviewed Bell and Brody about how “Nobody Wants This” is about opposites attracting. Bell likes the series so much because “it actually exposes so many of the problems that arise when someone isn’t right for you, and you actually have to ask yourself, is it worth fighting for?”

Watch “My Old Ass” in the theater (no, not mine, the movie)

Whether you’re young or old, you’re sure to connect with the captivating (and cleverly named) “My Old Ass” (in theaters now). Stella plays a Canadian girl who goes mushroom hunting with her friends at the age of 18. Her wild trip also includes meeting her 39-year-old self (Plaza). Their conversations, first in person and later via text and phone, help them both sort things out emotionally, which is especially important for the teenager, who must navigate questions of sexuality, family ties, and her future during her final summer at home.

I spoke with writer/director Megan Park about the universality of the film’s premise. Her goal was to appeal to people “no matter what stage of life you are in, whether you’re 18 years old and you’re leaving home, or you’re 14 years old and just imagining what that’s going to feel like.” Or you’re 70 and looking “To all your adult children and grandchildren.” (And if you’ve never seen Park’s feature debut, “The Fallout,” an excellent and cutting-edge school shooting drama starring Jenna Ortega, check that out, too.)

There’s more good stuff here!
