Netflix, Max, Hulu, and Amazon’s Prime Video this weekend (December 19-22, 2024) plan to add 29 new TV shows and movies to their streaming lineups. Here’s the four most interesting, in my humble opinion:

Juror #2 (Max Original)
Nicholas Hoult stars as a juror in a murder trial who discovers during the proceedings that he may be the actual killer. Directed by 94-year-old Clint Eastwood, Juror #2 was not expected to resonate with today’s ADHD audiences with skeptics even including Warner Bros. Discovery executives who buried the film in just 50 theaters at first. But critics and moviegoers are raving about the movie, saying it’s a no-nonsense return to strong storytelling in the cinema. I haven’t seen Juror #2 yet, but I guarantee you that I will be watching when it debuts on Max on Friday, December 20.

Beast Games – Amazon Original
The social media goliath known as Mr. Beast will host a daredevil challenge with 1,000 contestants competing for a grand prize of $5 million. Not surprisingly, the show has already generated lawsuit threats and accusations of everything from sexual harassment to extremely dangerous conditions. Which means it will probably be a hit. Debuts on Amazon’s Prime Video on Thursday, December 19.

The Creator (2023)
John David Washington stars in this sci-fi thriller as a special forces operator who’s hired to kill the creator of an Artificial Intelligence machine that could end a war started after a government-created AI device triggered a nuclear blast in Los Angeles. The film fared poorly at the box office, but many critics praised its cinematography and special effects. Debuts on Amazon’s Prime Video Thursday, December 19.

Thursday Night Football: Denver at Los Angeles Chargers
This is a big one with the Broncos and Chargers now in a virtual four-way tie for one of the three AFC Wild Card spots. (Standings as of Sunday, December 15 before Sunday’s action.) ESPN’s Matchup Predictor is giving the Chargers a 59.4 percent chance of winning. Debuts on Amazon’s Prime Video at 7 p.m. ET on Thursday, December 19.
