This Weekend’s Picks – April 12, 2025

Now that Baseball season is here, I find many of my nights are spent watching those and so fewer shows and movies are taking priority. Thus are the seasons of life though, and trust when I say I still keep an eye out for the ones worth talking about!

Here’s what to dive into this weekend

Television

Black Mirror – Black Mirror was one of the first shows I ever watched on Netflix so will always hold a special place in my heart. I have purposefully been avoiding spoilers, but really looking forward to diving into this one as soon as I can!

Hacks – I haven’t personally seen Hacks yet, but after all of the praise and accolades it’s accumulated, I know it’s only a matter of time. The hype around the season 4 premier has been big, so let me know if I should move it up my priority list!

Your Friends & Neighbors – The description for this show reads, “After being fired in disgrace, a hedge fund manager resorts to stealing from his neighbors’ homes in the affluent Westmont Village, only to discover that the secrets hidden behind the wealthy facades might be more dangerous.” It stars Jon Hamm, so guessing it’ll be worth a watch.

Movies

The Amateur – A CIA decoder embarks on a dangerous quest to track down the terrorists who killed his wife. Stars Rami Malek, so count me in!

Drop – A mysterious, hooded figure threatens to kill a widow’s family unless she herself commits murder. HOW did it take THIS LONG to make a suspense/thriller based around the concept of airdropping things to someone else’s phone?

Warfare – A surveillance mission goes wrong for a platoon of American Navy SEALs in insurgent territory in Iraq.

Books

Happy Land by Dolen Perkins-Valdez – A woman learns the astonishing truth of her family’s ties to a vanished American Kingdom in this riveting new novel from the New York Times bestselling, NAACP Image Award-winning author of Take My Hand.

Audition by Katie Kitamura – One woman, the performance of a lifetime. Or two. An exhilarating, destabilizing Möbius strip of a novel that asks whether we ever really know the people we love.

Sky Daddy by Kate Folk – Cross the jet bridge with Linda, a frequent flyer with an unusual obsession, in this “razor-sharp and tender-hearted” (Lily Brooks-Dalton) debut novel by the acclaimed author of Out There.

The Griffin Sisters’ Greatest Hits by Jennifer Weiner – One of the most anticipated books of the year, from #1 New York Times bestselling author Jennifer Weiner, a glimmering novel set in the world of pop music about sisters, motherhood, young love, and the dreams we chase.
