The TV Answer Man –Follow me on X.

Max this week (December 1-7, 2024) plans to add 72 new TV shows and movies to its streaming lineup. Here are the three most interesting, in my humble opinion:

Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice (2024)
Max will debut the Beetlejuice sequel, Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice, this Friday, December 6. The film picks up 36 years later with Lydia (Winona Ryder) as the host of a paranormal talk show who thinks she can see ghosts, including the notorious Betelgeuse, reprised with flawless panache by the great Michael Keaton. The supporting cast includes first film favorite Catherine O’Hara as well as some fun newcomers such as Jenna Ortega who plays Lydia’s skeptical daughter. Fun film for the entire family! Debuts Friday, December 6.

Hard Knocks: In Season with the AFC North
The HBO sports doc team will get up close and personal with the Baltimore Ravens, Cincinnati Bengals, Cleveland Browns and Pittsburgh Steelers, the four teams of the AFC North. Good. Perhaps they can figure out what the hell has happened to the 4-8 Bengals. Debuts Tuesday, December 3.

Super/Man: The Christopher Reeve Story
The documentary chronicles the tragic but heroic life of actor Christopher Reeve after falling from a horse paralyzed him from the neck down. The star of the Superman films of the 1970s and 80s summoned enormous courage trying to overcome his plight and helping fellow paraplegics. Super/Man offers behind-the-scenes footage and interviews with Reeve friends and family. Debuts Saturday, December 7.
