Let me be the first one to tell you (before anyone else!) happy early Valentine’s Day. I could rag on the holiday’s capitalistic commitment to squeezing more dollars out of us, but as a huge proponent of Christmas, that would be hypocritical of me, so we’re moving on! Instead, let’s just celebrate love like optimists, shall we? I do enjoy when the internet bands together to talk about what they’re watching, and surprisingly this weekend has a lot of opportunities for that, from our continual thirst over Pedro Pascal in The Last of Us (PSA: Episode five airs Friday night instead of Sunday this week), to whatever shenanigans Joe Goldberg is up to in season four of You, to, of course, the Super Bowl (a.k.a. Rihanna’s weekend). So, here are those, plus more of our picks for the best new movies and TV shows to watch this weekend.
Super Bowl LVII (and Rihanna)
Let’s get the elephant in the room out of the way. It’s Super Bowl weekend, everyone — a communal event where the sports-enthused gather and many of us actually want to watch some advertising. Oh, and you can’t forget the Puppy Bowl. But more important, this weekend’s Super Bowl is the stage comeback of Rihanna. It’s been six years, people. And whether her performance comes with an album announcement or not, one thing is for sure: Her 13-minute show is going to rule.
