Here's a complete rundown of all the best movies, shows, and documentaries to stream this weekend, broken down by what kind of entertainment you're looking for.

And for DC fans, "The Penguin" did, too.

Matt Reeves' "The Batman" movie, starring Robert Pattinson as the DC comics hero, first introduced Colin Farrell as Oz Cobb, this universe's version of the iconic villain the Penguin.

Now, Farrell stars and executive produces his own spinoff. Closer to "The Sopranos" than any superhero show, "The Penguin" delves further into the complicated gangster's psyche as he rises through the ranks of the criminal underworld after the death of mob boss Carmine Falcone in the 2022 movie.

True crime fans should check out "Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story."

José and Kitty Menendez's murder at the hands of their two sons is one of the most infamous murder cases of all time — particularly because the brothers are still arguing for their release over 30 years after the crime.

Nicholas Alexander Chavez is a real standout as the explosive Lyle Menendez, the older brother.
