Three movies, not five. We can already announce it on the Weekly Show this week. Unfortunately, there are no Disney+ titles and only one HBO Max movie. We also have two movies appearing on Netflix. In short: a rather modest week.
By the way, this is the first time in 42 weeks that we can’t give 5 tips. Maybe next week will be better!
