Our mantra is “no dull moment.”

So, here are six movies or series you need to see this weekend.

Vacation Friends 2 (Hulu)

2021’s film “Vacation Friends” was a quiet buddy comedy released on Hulu. Despite its initial modest reception, the movie garnered enough fans to warrant a sequel. The sequel, “Vacation Friends 2,” starring Lil Rel Howry and introducing Yvonne Orji, Meredith Hagner, John Cena, and Steve Buscemi, is set to release this weekend. The films capitalize on the humorous awkwardness of vacationing with friends. In the sequel, Kyla’s father, played by Steve Buscemi, is released from prison, shaking up their trip. The new Hulu original movie is written and directed by Clay Tarver and is poised to follow the first’s success as a fan favorite.

Ragnarok season 3 (Netflix)

Every coming-of-age story gets to the part where the protagonist, well, comes of age. They’re forced to grow up, take on responsibilities and overcome obstacles on their own. For Norwegian teen Magne (David Stakston), all of that is exponentially amped up since he’s the reincarnation of Thor. In the third and final season of Ragnarok, Magne and half-brother Laurits (Jonas Strand Gravli), a.k.a Loki reincarnated, face an epic battle with the Jutuls.
