Road House

It’s been 35 years since Patrick Swayze first taught us that pain don’t hurt, and now Jake Gyllenhaal takes up that muscular mantle with Amazon Prime Video’s Road House remake (streaming now). Director Doug Liman transplants the action from Missouri to the Florida Keys, where the beaches may be breezy, but the punches are brutal: Gyllenhaal’s UFC-fighter-turned-bouncer Dalton hits, kicks, and pummels any sleazy bad guys who are unlucky enough to cross his path. (Pro fighter Conor McGregor also chews scenery — and noses — as an unhinged mob enforcer.) It’s bloody, bone-crunching, and a total blast. —Devan Coggan, Senior Writer

Homicide: New York

Law & Order creator Dick Wolf gives the true-crime treatment to some of NYC’s most notorious murders. The gripping five-part Netflix docuseries (out now) paints the folks who solved these crimes as people with insecurities, idiosyncrasies, and regrets — not just talking heads. —Kristen Baldwin, TV Critic

Kacey Musgraves' Deeper Well

A return to Golden Hour form after the experimental Star-Crossed, Musgraves’ latest traces her journey back to the self after divorce — quelling even the most disquieted listener, transporting them to a tranquil cabin in the heart of the woods. Oh, what a world. (Out now) —Jessica Wang, Staff Writer

Star Wars: Dark Forces Remaster

The 1995 first-person shooter video game has been cleaned up and smoothed out, but the old school fun remains — including appearances from Darth Vader, Mon Mothma, and the man with the absolute worst haircut in the entire galaxy, General Crix Madine. (Out now) —Dalton Ross, Editor at Large

Shirley

Regina King spent 15 years working with Shirley Chisholm's family to bring the trailblazer’s historic presidential campaign to screen. King’s passion shines through as she stars in this moving and necessary Netflix biopic (streaming now, also in limited theatrical release). —Alamin Yohannes, Social Media Director
