New TV and Movies on the Radar
“Splitsville,” a goofy relationship comedy, lands on Hulu this week. Michael Angelo Covino and Kyle Marvin star in this open relationships drama, adding depth with Dakota Johnson and Adria Arjona.
The AP’s Jake Coyle notes that while “Splitsville” is visually innovative, it harkens back to screwball comedies. The film’s primary draw remains Dakota Johnson, a veteran of such genres.
Music Scene Highlights
Two major music releases are on the horizon. Nick Jonas returns with his first solo album “Sunday Best” on February 6th. It’s smooth adult pop, perfect for those in need of a love song.
J. Cole drops his seventh studio album “The Fall-Off.” The AP’s Maria Sherman reports that fans speculate it could be his final record, citing Cole’s reflection on his career in the music video for “Disc 2 Track 2.”
TV Adaptations and Events
Celebrity actress Keke Palmer stars in a TV adaptation of Tom Hanks’ 1989 film “The ‘Burbs.” The eight-episode series premieres on Peacock, promising a suburban mystery that isn’t quite as idyllic as it seems.
Netflix’s “The Lincoln Lawyer” is back for its fourth season. This legal drama follows Mickey Haller, played by Manuel García-Rulfo, who must defend himself after being falsely accused of murder.
The Puppy Love Event
This Sunday, the 22nd edition of “Puppy Bowl XXII” will air across multiple networks to promote animal adoption. This annual event features puppies playing various games in a bowl, making for an adorable distraction during football season.
“Great American Rescue Bowl” also highlights adoptable dogs and cats on Sunday. It’s another heartwarming call-to-action special, this one airing on Great American Pure Flix and GFAM+.
