What to Watch This Week: ‘You People,’ ‘Poker Face,’ ‘Shotgun Wedding’
Written by SOURCE on January 28, 2023
The Complex Pop team has had a busy week. The Academy announced this year’s Oscar nominees and while there were some disappointments, there were also deep moments of excitement at the possibility that things might be progressing slightly in the awards world. In honor of Everything Everywhere All At Once receiving 11 nominations, the most of any other film this year, the A24 project will be making a return to theaters this weekend. So if you haven’t seen it yet, now is your chance.
There are other films worth watching before the awards show airs in March, like Apple TV’s Causeway and The Banshees of Inisherin (streaming on HBO Max). But if you’re all caught up on films and looking for something new, this week has some viable options. Poker Face hit Peacock this week on the TV side, while Netflix’s You People and Prime’s Shotgun Wedding are kicking off the month of love with fresh rom-coms ahead of Valentine’s Day. We chatted with You People’s Eddie Murphy and Sam Jay ahead of the film’s release so check out those interviews after you watch the Kenya Barris film.
Aside from this week’s new releases and the Oscar nominations, we’ve also been covering the first season of The Last of Us which is in full swing and already breaking viewing records over at HBO. Next month is stacked with some big releases and we can’t wait to cover those here. In the meantime, read below for the best that the streaming world has to offer this week, and check back in next Friday for more.
