The winter storms set the perfect scene for a massive movie marathon. This week’s ‘What To Watch’ film list offers a variety of action, drama, and nostalgia to keep you entertained. Check out the trailers for our top films inside.

From the gritty underworld of heists to thought-provoking narratives and a surprising big-screen adaptation of a talk show classic, here’s what to watch this week:

One of Them Days stars the great Keke Palmer and SZA in this buddy comedy film exploring a race against the clock. When her boyfriend takes her rent money, Alyssa (SZA) and her roommate (Palmer) race against the clock to avoid eviction and keep their friendship intact. The trailer brings comedy, action and ridiculous scenarios perfect for a weekend watch. The film is available to watch at select theaters nationwide Jan. 11 and officially debuts Jan. 17.

Fans of the original Den of Thieves will be thrilled with this high-octane sequel. Picking up where the first film left off, Gerard Butler reprises his role as “Big Nick” O’Brien, navigating the treacherous criminal underworld. This time, the action shifts to Europe as Big Nick tracks down a global crime syndicate known as Pantera. Expect edge-of-your-seat heists, intense action sequences, and unexpected plot twists that expand the gritty world established in the first film. If you’re craving adrenaline-pumping drama, Den of Thieves 2: Pantera is your go-to pick.

A fascinating look at one of the most controversial talk shows in television history, the Jerry Springer: Fights, Camera, Action documentary explores how the reality talk show became a cultural icon and the lasting impact of “The Jerry Springer Show.” The film goes beyond the drama and chaos of the show’s infamous episodes, diving into the crew’s life, career, and the public’s fascination with outrageous entertainment. With interviews from former guests and producers, this documentary provides a nuanced perspective on the legacy of the series, which redefined daytime television. Whether you watched the show religiously or simply know it as a pop culture phenomenon, this film is an intriguing deep dive.

In the mood for something more serious? Hard Truths delivers a powerful story about navigating life’s gray areas. This drama centers on Pansy, angry and depressed, who lashes out at family and strangers. Her constant criticism isolates her, except from her cheerful sister Chantal, who remains sympathetic despite their differences. With stellar performances and a gripping narrative, the film explores themes of justice, truth, and personal sacrifice. If you’re looking for a movie that makes you think long after the credits roll, Hard Truths is an excellent choice.

From thrilling heists to reflective dramas and a nostalgic dose of talk show-inspired chaos, this week’s film lineup has something for everyone. Be sure to snuggle up, grab your popcorn, dim the lights, and dive into these cinematic experiences.
