What are the 5 Best Shows and Movies Coming to Plex in October 2023?
“Experimenter” | Sunday, Oct. 1
The gripping biopic “Experimenter” arrives to Plex to start the month. Based on the true story of social psychologist Stanley Milgram, the film focuses on the 1961 behavior experiments at Yale University that tested the willingness of ordinary humans to obey an authority figure while administering electric shocks to strangers, as well as the aftermath of the experiments and the public outcry of their ethics. Peter Sarsgaard leads the cast as Milgrim opposite Winona Ryder, Taryn Manning, Kellan Lutz, Anton Yelchin, John Leguizamo, Lori Singer, Dennis Haysbert, Anthony Edwards, and Jim Gaffigan.

“Secretary” | Sunday, Oct. 1
Director Steven Shainberg and screenwriter Erin Cressida Wilson mix business and pleasure in “Secretary,” an adaptation of Mary Gaitskill’s short story. James Spader and Maggie Gyllenhaal star as a dominant lawyer and his submissive secretary in the erotic dramedy, making “very dull work” worth the suffering.

The black comedy horror comes to Plex to kickoff Halloween month.

Katrina Bowden, Jesse Moss, Chelan Simmons, Brandon Jay McLaren, Christie Laing, Travis Nelson, Alex Arsenault, Adam Beauchesne, Joseph Allan Sutherland, and Philip Granger make up rest of the cast of the splatstick comedy with heart.
