None of the wives know what the secret project is that all of the husbands in the town are working on. When Alice begins to experience strange visions, she starts to question her reality and what Victory founder Frank (Chris Pine) might be doing to them.

Director Jordan Peele’s (Get Out, Us) latest horror film will soon stream on Peacock. A must-see movie of the year, the story follows two siblings who run a horse ranch in California.

Starring Daniel Kaluuya and Keke Palmer as brother and sister, the two must figure out what it is that is taking and depositing things out of the sky.
Causeway (Apple TV+)

Starring Jennifer Lawrence as a U.S. soldier (Lynsey) who just experienced a traumatic brain injury in Afghanistan, this new Apple TV drama explores trauma and bonding that can occur between two people who have experienced great loss. The film progresses slowly, but the relationship development between Lynsey and James (Brian Tyree Henry) is what the story is really about.

The two strike up a friendship and connection — not without its difficulties — that is realistic and shows how people can help one another in the most difficult times.
