Woman Of The Hour (Netflix)
Woman of the Hour is based on the stranger than fiction true story of Sheryl Bradshaw (Anna Kendrick) and Rodney Alcala. Bradshaw was a bachelorette on the hit '70s TV matchmaking show The Dating Game and chose handsome and funny bachelor No. 3, Rodney Alcala. But behind Alcala's charming facade was a deadly secret: He was a psychopathic serial killer. If you're like me, I didn't know anything about this story at all going into the film, so it was a really interesting watch. This is a solid movie that I would recommend giving a watch once and I hope we see more of Anna Kendrick directing in the future.

Matlock (Paramount+)
Follows Madeline Matlock (Kathy Bates) as she rejoins the work force at a prestigious law firm, where she uses her wily tactics to win cases and expose wrongdoing. A gender flipping takeoff on the original 1986 TV series of the same name, Matlock (1986), starring Andy Griffith in the title role of criminal defense attorney Ben Matlock. This show only has the most tangential relationship with the original series. For legal reasons they had to give Dean Hargrove a "based on the series Matlock" credit. This is a charming and interesting take on a legal series. Casting of Kathy Bates and Beau Bridges is classic CBS, and while this doesn't ask much of you, it's a fun and easy watch.
