Because the Oscars never give comedies their due: Girls Trip

Girls Trip is one of the best comedies of last year: Outrageous, bawdy, and extremely funny, with an outrageously talented cast, the movie is a comedy roller coaster. It’s also the film that signaled the arrival of Tiffany Haddish, one of the most naturally gifted comic actors we’ve got right now. Don’t sleep on Jada Pinkett either, playing against type as an uptight nurse who … well, go see for yourself, and get mad all over again about how the Academy Awards (almost entirely) ignore comedies. Available March 31.

Available March 25

If you’re looking for a new comedy: Barry

Accompanying the fifth season of Silicon Valley is Barry, Bill Hader’s new half-hour series about an assassin who decides to give up killing to pursue a career in acting. It’s hard not to be hooked from the jump with a premise that good, but with Hader in the lead role, Barry becomes utterly delicious. This one should be a fun one with plenty of potential for fun twists ahead. Available March 25.

Available March 3

If you love philosophical sci-fi: Alien: Covenant

Ridley Scott’s latter-day Alien films are fascinating studies in how to move a franchise forward while wholly refusing to give the fans what they want. Alien: Covenant, like Prometheus before it, is a surprisingly misanthropic work concerned less with the horror — although it’s very scary — and more with what makes humanity human. It’s hard to enjoy but really easy to appreciate, and while it didn’t get a whole lot of love upon release, odds are it’ll be due for a serious reappraisal sometime soon. Available March 3.
