What to Watch this Weekend: Taylor Swift and Jonathan Majors take Saturday Night Live

FRIDAY

The Shrink Next Door

HOW/WHEN & WHERE TO WATCH: Streaming on Apple TV+

Series Debut
Anchorman alums Will Ferrell and Paul Rudd have reteamed for a new project that explores the limits — and far beyond — of psychiatrist and patient. Based on Joe Nocera's Wondery podcast of the same name and directed by Michael Showalter, the dark comedy-drama delves into the co-dependent relationship between textile-company owner Marty Markowitz (Ferrell) and his charismatic psychiatrist, Ike Herschkopf (Rudd). After one thing spirals into another, Ike winds up running Marty's life, right down to his company and his finances. "It's a friendship and a patient-and-doctor relationship that just got out of control," sums up Rudd. "When, how, and why—those answers are up for debate." Deadpans Ferrell: "It's a combination of Thelma and Louise meet Butch and Sundance meet Turner and Hooch." —Dan Snierson

Red Notice

HOW/WHEN & WHERE TO WATCH: Streaming on Netflix

For Netflix's biggest movie to date, Red Notice brings together three of Hollywood's biggest stars in Dwayne Johnson, Ryan Reynolds, and Gal Gadot. The action-adventure film from Rawson Marshall Thurber (Dodgeball, Skyscraper) follows top FBI profiler John Hartley (Johnson), who teams up with wisecracking criminal Nolan Booth (Reynolds) to catch the world's most wanted art thief, "The Bishop" (Gadot). "Red Notice is the pinnacle of a 20-year career learning how to make movies," Thurber recently told EW. "The film is big stars, big action, big laughs." —Derek Lawrence
