Amazon’s Prime Video to Add 7 New Releases This Week: The 2 to Watch

The TV Answer Man – Buy Me a Coffee!

Amazon’s Prime Video this week (March 15-21, 2026) is adding seven new TV shows and movies to its streaming lineups. Here are the two to watch, in my humble opinion:

Meal Ticket (2026)
When to Watch: Thursday, March 19
What Kind of Show: Sports Documentary
Who’s In It: Alonzo Mourning, Patrick Ewing, Jalen Rose
Name a great basketball player over the last five decades and chances are he played in the McDonald’s All-American high school game. This Amazon original documentary traces the game’s roots back to the 1970s when relatively unknown teens such as Michael Jordan and Patrick Ewing made their bones in the annual classic to the present day. (The TV Answer Man was courtside as a young reporter at the 1981 McDonald’s game when Jordan and Ewing played on the same team. Ewing was regarded as the more likely of the two to be a star.) Meal Ticket will include interviews with many of the game’s participants, including Ewing, Jalen Rose, and Alonzo Mourning, as well as clips from the games. Must see for hoops fans.

Roofman (2025)
When to Watch: Monday, March 16
What Kind of Movie: Crime Comedy
Who’s In It: Channing Tatum, Juno Temple, Kirsten Dunst
And speaking of McDonald’s…Channing Tatum stars in this real life and incredibly bizarre story of Jeffrey Manchester who robbed dozens of McDonald’s fast food joints, was caught, but then escaped and hid out for months in Toys ‘R’ Us and Circuit City stores. Yes, this really happened although the movie takes a few liberties, of course. Tatum (pictured above) is charming as usual in lead and the strong supporting cast includes Kirsten Dunst, Juno Temple, LaKeith Stanfield and Ben Mendelsohn.
