Amazon’s Prime Video this week (December 8-14, 2024) plans to add seven new TV shows and movies to its streaming lineup. Here’s the one you should definitely watch if you’re watching only one, in my humble opinion:

The Bikeriders (2023)
Austin Butler (Elvis, Once Upon a Time In Hollywood) stars as a mercurial motorcycle gang member in the 1960s who gets caught up in the byzantine wars between rival gangs which leads to mayhem and murder. Jodie Comer plays his girlfriend who embraces the gang life despite the dangers while Tom Hardy is the uber-violent gang leader inspired by Marlon Brando’s turn in The Wild Ones. Based on a real story, The Bikeriders generated an 81 score at Rotten Tomatoes. ”Fueled by a charismatic cast and the gritty authenticity of writer-director Jeff Nichols’ approach, The Bikeriders offers a conventional yet impactful look at motorcycle culture,” the site states. I watched the movie when it first aired on Peacock and was impressed with both Hardy and Butler whose performances seemed inspired by the great method actors of previous decades. (And that’s a good thing.) Debuts Tuesday, December 10.

If you haven’t seen the 2019 comedy/mystery, Knives Out, which stars Daniel Craig, Chris Evans, Ana de Armas, Jamie Lee Curtis, Don Johnson, and a host of other superb supporters, check it out on Wednesday. Fun film. As for Thursday Night Football, it’s the Rams vs. 49ers in a battle of California mediocrity.
