Wolf Man
Calling all Team Jacob fans — this one’s got your name written all over it! January delivers a fresh take on a monster classic with a reboot of 1941’s The Wolf Man. The story follows a man struggling with anger issues as he fights to shield his family from a werewolf, only to find himself infected and slowly turning into the beast. While it delves into the metaphor of how destructive tendencies can hurt those closest to us, The Wolf Man is a must-watch if you want a monster movie that isn’t about vampires for a change.
Now showing at cinemas near you.

Severance Season 2
We’ve been going insane over the Severance cliffhanger that left us hanging in 2022, but this month, the wait is finally over, and we can finally regain our sanity! This Emmy-winning series is a true masterpiece, revolving around a mind-bending procedure called “severance,” which splits people’s work and personal lives, leaving them with no memory of either. Although it might sound like a good idea on paper, we present to you Exhibit A on why it’s far from it, Severance Season 1. Are you all caught up?

Imagine being able to access every computer in the world. Pretty soon, Edward Brooks doesn’t have to, as this math genius is about to discover the sequence of prime numbers that would give him exactly that. To no one’s surprise, the world’s governments aren’t too thrilled about it, and Edward is set to spend most of Prime Target fighting back. Thank God for Taylah Sanders, an NSA agent tasked with keeping tabs on mathematicians. Can they uncover — and escape — the chaotic conspiracy they find themselves in?
