The TV Answer Man – Buy Me a Coffee!

Paramount Plus today (April 1, 2026) has added 143 new TV shows and movies to its streaming lineup. Here are the three to watch, in my humble opinion:

The Aviator (2004)
What Kind of Movie: Bio Drama
Who’s In It: Leonard DiCaprio, Kate Beckinsale, Cate Blanchett
The absorbing (if overlong) drama from director Martin Scorsese starring Leonardo DiCaprio as legendary flyboy and billionaire Howard Hughes. DiCaprio is good as Hughes, but Scorsese is the star here with his stylish flourishes on display in nearly every scene. The impressive supporting cast includes Kate Beckinsale, Alec Baldwin, Alan Alda, Willen Dafoe, Jude Law, John C. Reilly and Cate Blanchett as Katherine Hepburn. (But please overlook the casting of Gwen Stefani as Jean Harlow. Dear God, Marty.)

Primal Fear (1996)
What Kind of Movie: Drama
Who’s In It: Richard Gere, Edward Norton, Laura Linney
Richard Gere stars as a media-hungry attorney who takes the case of a mentally ill young man (Edward Norton) accused of murdering a priest. However, Gere ultimately regrets his decision when his investigation of the murder uncovers some nasty secrets about his client and the priest. This legal drama put Edward Norton on the map and he has never been better as the stuttering murder suspect. Gere, who seems like he was born to play slick professionals, is equally good as is the strong supporting cast which includes Laura Linney, Andre Braugher, Maura Tierney and John Mahoney.

The Social Network (2010)
What Kind of Movie: Drama
Who’s In It: Jesse Eisenberg, Andrew Garfield, Armie Hammer, Justin Timberlake
Director David Fincher’s brilliant take on narcissism, ambition and, ultimately, unrelenting arrogance through the lens of young Mark Zuckerberg as he builds Facebook while shedding friendships and his moral compass. Jesse Eisenberg is flawless as Zuck but don’t forget the fun supporting performances by Justin Timberlake as Napster’s Sean Parker and Armie Hammer as both of the Winkelvoss twins who claimed the Facebook founder ripped them off.
