I’ll try and include something for both viewers in this week’s edition of my list of new shows and movies to stream each and every day so that no one feels left out! Check out what I put together below and find something new to watch!

Minnesota Vikings vs. Los Angeles Rams NFL Wild Card game | ESPN+
This might be the best football game of the entire Wild Card round this season. Although the action on the field is overshadowed by the horrific fires that have ravaged the Los Angeles region and caused the game to be moved to Arizona, the matchup between the two teams cannot be overlooked.

The Rams will figure to try and keep their famed offensive trio of Matthew Stafford, Cooper Kupp, and Puka Nacua going against a Vikings defense led by the maniacal Brian Flores.

‘Star Wars: Skeleton Crew’ Season finale | Disney+
“Skeleton Crew” is something of an anti-“Andor.” It’s full of imagination, magic, and adventure, three of the qualities that captured the minds of so many young Star Wars fans at different points in the decades since the original movies were in theaters.
“Skeleton Crew” follows the tale of a group of kids who stumble upon a derelict spaceship that crash-landed on their home planet. When they climb aboard, they are accidentally whisked off into a larger galaxy, and must use all their wits to try and make their way home without being captured by bloodthirsty pirates!

Some big changes are on tap for Harley, Ivy, and the gang this season, starting with a big move to Metropolis! King Shark must cope with fatherhood for the first time, and Bane has to try to settle into a new job at the Daily Planet.

In Season 2, Mark and his friends will learn the horrific consequences of trying to take control of the severance barrier, as they did in Season 1. Will any of them make it out of the new season alive as a result of their actions? Wherever you think the next season of “Severance” is headed, the show is almost guaranteed to keep you guessing.
