All the shows and movies you should be looking out for

Our dearest Jake is off duty, so I will be taking over the trailer round-up this week. I’ve noticed that Jake usually kicks things off with a nice little anecdote about what he’s been watching in his free time, and it’s always such a pure delight, but I’ve been in a bit of a fugue state recently, so all I’ve been doing is rewatching random episodes of Trailer Park Boys. Like the saying goes: sometimes the best medicine is a Canadian accent and a lot of alcohol.

I also watched the first episode of HBO’s The Night Of, and was really turned off by the knife-play girl whose Brooklyn apartment looks like Zooey Deschanel’s haunted dollhouse. But (spoiler alert!) her speaking role is limited to the first episode because... she can no longer talk once the thing that happens to her happens to her. So maybe I should give it another try.

Oh, and I watched Fatal Attraction. Glenn Close is terrifying but Michael Douglas is a tool and I honestly wouldn’t care if he got murdered. (In the movie!)

Here are 8 new trailers to watch this week.
