From Spike Lee's latest film to Pete Davidson's semi-autobiographical dramedy to a long-awaited Disney adventure, this weekend's new flicks are varied in genre, though not in quality.

On the TV side, a foreign-language thriller, a return to the world of New York media, and an Anna Kendrick-led rom-com make up the new adventures that are just a remote click away.

If you're in more of a throwback mood, Space Jam is the way to go. With pro-sports canceled due to the coronavirus and many still stuck inside due to quarantine, the Michael Jordan and Looney Tunes combo is sure to delight.
