If you’re craving a walk down memory lane, this is the weekend for you: we’ve got a number of nostalgia hits this time around, and they’re just getting started.
This weekend, July 26-27, Netflix is throwing it back to the 1990s with the release of a sequel to a nearly 30-year-old movie. Over in theaters, one Marvel group of heroes is getting its third reboot in 20 years. Basically, it’s a big week for fans of the “good old days.”
Not into revisiting the glory days of yore? All good, each streaming platform has something fresh for you, from a new installment of Netflix’s Trainwreck docuseries to a frightening Hulu true crime about a dentist who murdered his wife on a safari.
And there’s more! Here’s a list of the nine best new movies and shows to watch this weekend and where to stream them.
The Fantastic Four: First Steps
Pedro Pascal, welcome back to the big screen for the third time this summer. But this time around, it’s for one of his biggest roles yet: Mr. Fantastic/Reed Storm. Joining him are Vanessa Kirby as the Invisible Woman/Sue Storm, Joseph Quinn as Human Torch/Johnny Storm and Ebon Moss-Bachrach as Ben Grimm/Thing.
This chummy little family has a new storm (pun intended) coming for them when the humans they’ve sworn to protect with their magical abilities are threatened by the mysterious Silver Surfer (Julia Garner) and her boss, Galactus. Kicking off Marvel’s phase 6, The Fantastic Four: First Steps reintroduces the beloved heroes after two previous iterations in less than 20 years.
The Fantastic Four: First Steps releases in theaters on July 25.
Happy Gilmore 2
If you’re still wishing for a reboot of your favorite ’90s movie, keep wishing because it just may come true! After 29 years, Happy Gilmore (Adam Sandler) is coming back to the green, golf club in tow.
Not much has changed: he’s still with Virginia Venit (Julie Bowen), has a tendency toward profanities and an aggressive attitude. But most importantly, he’s still a beast at golf — and will need to put his skills to the test once again.

Chris Butler in Trainwreck: P.I. Moms.
Every week, Netflix treats us to another juicy true crime or crazy case in its Trainwreck series, and this time is no different. In P.I. Moms., the streamer looks back at the group of moms who doubled as private investigators in a firm run by Chris Butler, a former cop.
That is, until Butler was caught running a drug operation and many of his “private investigations” turned out to be staged.

Trophy Wife: Murder on Safari
A successful dentist, an impatient mistress and a woman found dead in an African safari. It may sound like the plot of an Agatha Christie murder mystery, but it is actually the true story of Larry Rudolph’s murder of his wife, Bianca, in 2016.
Trophy Wife: Murder on the Safari delves into the details behind the murder, which was believed to be a tragic incident on a hunting trip until five years later, when suspicion began to turn onto Larry. Now, both Larry and his mistress are serving time.
Watch Trophy Wife: Murder on the Safari on Hulu.
Justice On Trial
Judge Judy is back — and is just as ruthless as ever. In her new series, Justice on Trial, the famous judge and her legal team recreate notorious trials from history to evaluate whether following the law truly felt “just” in the outcomes.
Watch Justice on Trial on Prime Video.
The Hunting Wives
Fans of women-led murder mysteries where a newcomer joins a squad of mysterious, secretly-crazy-party-ladies going behind their husbands’ backs and getting up to nefarious deeds, this one’s for you (crazy that’s a genre, but it really is!).
The Hunting Wives stars Brittany Snow as said newcomer, Sophie, who becomes enamored with her husband’s boss’ wife after she moves to East Texas from Cambridge, Mass. The two quickly form a tight bond, but when Sophia is suddenly in the throes of a gruesome murder, she begins to question her new friends.

Oh, Hi!
Molly Gordon plays a crazy, obsessed woman who just wants Logan Lerman’s character’s love — and will go to any lengths to get it. And you know what? With that salt-and-pepper hair he’s been sporting, so would we!
Adding Lerman to our ever-growing list of internet boyfriends we are only too excited to see on the big screen, Oh, Hi! captures the worst and best aspects of a crush and the perfectly reasonable repercussions when one has been led on.
Oh, Hi! releases in theaters on July 25.
Acapulco season 4
In the fourth and final season of Acapulco, present-day Máximo (Eugenio Derbez) is working tirelessly to restore his resort, Las Colinas, to its former glory.
Meanwhile, his younger self (Enrique Arrizon) is doing some espionage on another resort, which took the No. 1 ranking from his — and he’s determined to take it back.
Watch the first two episodes of Acapulco season 4 on Apple TV+.
Billy Joel: And So It Goes
Billy Joel is one of the American greats, so it’s only fitting he gets a two-part HBO Max documentary dedicated to his life and legacy — featuring the Piano Man himself!
The series dives into not only the singer’s music catalogue and the stories behind the lyrics, but also his personal past struggles with substance abuse and mental health.
Watch both parts of Billy Joel: And So It Goes on HBO Max.
