Marvel’s biggest movie since Endgame and 6 more movies and shows to watch this week

Rory Cashin

There are also some big Oscar favourites and the return of a much-loved serial killer show to enjoy this week…

Every week we say to ourselves, “Wow, last week had so much new stuff to watch, maybe next week will be quieter”, and then next week arrives… and nope!

LOADS of new stuff!

The latest episode of The Big Reviewski can be watched in full below or you can skip to the cinema reviews (5:25), home entertainment recommendations (14:25), and classic re-watches (19:50).

Here are the new cinema releases, which will all be available on the big screens around Ireland from Friday, 5 November.

ETERNALS

Best Picture and Best Director Oscar-winner Chloé Zhao (Nomadland) takes us on Marvel’s biggest movie since Avengers: Endgame, spanning thousands of years and multiple worlds and dimensions.

A staggeringly impressive cast including Angelina Jolie, Salma Hayek, Richard Madden, Kit Harington and our very own Barry Keoghan are the super-powered beings in charge with keeping Earth safe.

We chatted with Keoghan in the run-up to the movie’s release, and you can check out that conversation in full right here:

SPENCER

Kristen Stewart stars as Princess Diana in this new dramatic biopic set over three days spent with the royal family at Christmas time.

The Oscar talk around Stewart’s performance could result in her first nomination (if not win), and with interest in all things Diana and the royal family at an all-time high, this couldn’t have arrived at a better time.

We chatted to Stewart in the run-up to the movie’s release, and you can check out that chat in full below.

And now on to the stuff you can watch at home this week, starting with…

BIG MOUTH SEASON 5

The fifth season of Netflix’s very naughty animated comedy continues to push the boundaries (while also educating the viewers) on all things sex, gender and sexuality.

The Hormone Monsters are back to do their duties with the growing teenagers, who are still falling in and out of lust and love and friendship with each other on a regular basis.

All episodes of the fifth season of Big Mouth will be available on Netflix from Friday, 5 November.

THE HARDER THEY FALL

Idris Elba, Regina King, Jonathan Majors, Zazie Beetz, Lakeith Stanfield and Delroy Lindo star in this vibrant and violent western, revolving around two groups of criminals both seeking revenge on each other.

The Harder They Fall is available to stream on Netflix from Wednesday, 3 November.

DEXTER: NEW BLOOD

Set 10 years after the events of the final (at the time) Dexter season (which actually came to an end back in 2013), we see Michael C. Hall return as the serial killer who is trying to put his violent life behind him… only to be dragged back into the mix when someone from his past re-emerges.

New episodes of Dexter: New Blood will be available weekly on NOW from Monday, 8 November.

And finally, the amazingly exciting Pizza And A Movie section, with Rory and Eoghan each picking a movie for you to enjoy at home this weekend, and putting it to a public vote to decide which is the better pick…

Here are this week’s picks, with the vote once again going up on JOE’s Instagram channel, so keep an eye out on that to have your say!

Rory’s Pick – FACE/OFF

John Woo’s ridiculous OTT action thriller has Nic Cage and John Travolta swapping faces and blowing stuff up, in that order.

Face/Off is available to watch on Disney+ from Friday, 5 November.
