It’s the weekend, baby.

So you know what that means, it’s time to relax on the couch and watch a movie.

And on this Saturday, we’ve got some pretty good options for you.

Here’s what we’re dealing with.

Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls – Comedy Central – 7.05pm

Jim Carrey at his very best.

Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom – 7.35pm – ITV2

Three years after the destruction of Jurassic World, Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas-Howard are asked to return to the theme park to save its dinosaurs from a volcano.

Well, their characters are. Not the actors. Obviously.

Airplane – 9pm – Comedy Central

“Don’t call me Shirley!” – a classic.

Iron Man 3 – 9pm – RTÉ2

A comic book movie that gets a bit of a hard time, that may be slightly deserved (because of a truly crazy twist), but one that is still a very fun watch for any fans of the MCU.

Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation – 9.15pm – Channel 4

The one where Tom Cruise hangs off a plane.

The Shining – 9.15pm – BBC Two

One of the all-time great scary movies. HERE’S JOHNNY.

Mission Impossible: Fallout – 9.45pm – RTÉ One

In case you want to watch a Mission Impossible movie, but not the one where Tom Cruise hangs off a plane.

Kick-Ass 2 – 10pm – SyFy

Not like your average superhero movie, but equally as exciting, and only a bit less PG…

Roman J Israel, Esq – 11.50pm – Channel 4

Denzel and Colin Farrell sharing the screen in a brilliant (but sad) legal drama.

LISTEN: You Must Be Jokin’ with Aideen McQueen – Faith healers, Coolock craic and Gigging as Gaeilge
