Monsters: The Story of Lyle and Erik Menendez
After the huge success of ‘Dahmer’, Netflix doesn’t seem willing to let go of its biopics of serial killers produced by Ryan Murphy.

Agatha, who else?
That’s life: after ‘Deadpool and Wolverine’, a success that has partially restored interest in Marvel (in addition to the announcement of Robert Downey Jr.’s return to the fold), the next product on the company’s calendar is a production that looks very strange, strongly linked (the protagonist here was the villain there) to a series from three years ago, ‘Wandavision’. Will it be a problem? At the moment, the plot is suitably intriguing: the witch Agatha Harkness discovers that she has lost her powers when a mysterious gothic teenager frees her. Together with a strange group of witches, they will travel a path full of trials to see their wishes granted.

Wolfs
This film is being much talked about because it means the final nail in the coffin of the ambitious Apple TV+ production project, which after some consecutive failures, such as ‘Argylle’ or ‘The Killers of the Moon’, has decided to withdraw from theatrical releases and focus on the streaming. A shame, because this was shaping up to be their most commercial debut: in it, we follow Brad Pitt and George Clooney as two “lone wolves,” specialists in covering up crimes who are hired to make the body of a young man disappear in a hotel room.
