Whether you plan to spend the long weekend on vacation or relaxing at home, there’s always time to kick back in front of the TV. From patriotic-themed offerings to Oscar-nominated films, to miniseries you may have missed, here’s an essential guide of what to watch, with something for everyone. This year’s leading Oscars contender is newly available to stream on Peacock, along with several “behind the scenes” featurettes.
If you missed it in theaters — or, if you want to re-watch it at home — now you can catch up to all the buzz before the Oscars on March 10. Nominated for 13 Academy Awards, including Best Picture, Best Director (for Christopher Nolan), and Best Actor (for star Cillian Murphy), the movie tells the story of J. Robert Oppenheimer (Murphy), also known as the “father of the atomic bomb.” Where to watch: Peacock.
This 2016 horror comedy follows “zombified” former presidents as they rise from the dead to terrorize a group of teens, who must counter them by summoning the demonic spirit of John Wilkes Booth. Starring Rob Bebeneck and Matthew Broussard. Where to watch: It’s available to rent on Prime Video.
Season 4 of the anthology series just ended, and at only 6 episodes, it’s possible to binge it in one day. If you missed it, it’s the perfect time to catch up. Co-starring Jodie Foster and Kali Reis, the season sees two cops investigating a spooky mystery involving scientists who vanish from a remote research facility.
Where to watch: Max. This early-career Adam Sandler movie is quietly one of his best. The 1998 romcom follows Robbie Hart (Sandler), a wedding singer who falls in love with a waitress (Drew Barrymore), and finally wins her over with help from a Billy Idol cameo.
