Peacock to Add 73 New Shows, Movies Today: The 3 to Watch

The TV Answer Man – Buy Me a Coffee!

Peacock today (April 1, 2025) is adding 73 new TV shows (and sports) and movies to its streaming lineup. Here are the three to watch, in my humble opinion:

Dazed And Confused (1993)
What Kind of Movie: Slice of Life Comedy
Who’s In It: Jason London, Matthew McConaughey, Parker Posey, Ben Affleck
The charming and now iconic 1993 comedy from director Richard Linklater focuses on the last day of school in a small Texas town. Linklater has a gift of making the small things in life seem larger than life and there’s no better showcase for his talents than this classic. The terrific ensemble cast includes Matthew McConaughey (whose role as a former student who can’t let go of the past was expanded by Linklater when he saw the young actor shine in the dailies); Jason London as the school’s reluctant QB1; Parker Posey as a senior looking for some freshman revenge; and a very young Ben Affleck as same. Fun movie!

No Country for Old Men (2007)
What Kind of Movie: Drama
Who’s In It: Josh Brolin, Javier Bardem, Tommy Lee Jones, Woody Harrelson
The Coen Brothers’ flawless neo-western stars Josh Brolin as a good old boy who stumbles upon a jackpot of money but is then pursued by a ruthless, coin-flipping killer, played deliciously by Javier Bardem. (And let’s not overlook the commanding performance of Tommy Lee Jones as the weather-beaten sheriff.) Joel and Ethan Coen have conspired to make cinema brilliance over the years with films such as Raising Arizona, Fargo, The Big Lebowski, and Miller’s Crossing. But there may be no better Coen Brothers film than No Country for Old Men. If you haven’t seen it, start streaming.

Casino (1995)
What Kind of Movie: Crime Drama
Who’s In It: Robert De Niro, Joe Pesci, Sharon Stone, Don Rickles, James Woods
Director Martin Scorsese’s brilliant cinematic essay on the rise and fall of the Mob-controlled Las Vegas stars Robert De Niro as an obsessive gambler named Ace Rothstein who’s hired to operate a casino. Ace’s master plan is soon derailed by his chorus girl wife (played beautifully by Sharon Stone) and a ruthless sidekick (played deliciously over the top by Joe Pesci.) While some critics chafed that Casino did not measure up to Scorsese’s Goodfellas, the 1995 is an iconic classic on its own.

Note that Peacock is also streaming the Twins-Royals baseball game tonight at 7:30 p.m. ET
