There’s only one thing on our minds this week, and it’s likely the same that’s on yours. That’s right, I’m talking about HBO’s flagship, the wacky crew from Westeros, it’s Game of Thrones. We’ll be spending a large portion of the show this week talking about the sixth season, which airs this coming Sunday. That means a breakdown of what we think is coming this season, including an investigation of some of our favorite characters, as well as our theories, rumors about this being the “best season ever,” and even exploring HBO’s fears of what exactly will happen once the show finally wraps in the coming years.

Fittingly, along with our Game of Thrones extravaganza, we’ll also be discussing (spoiler alert) our rules on spoiler alerts this week. We’ve heard about some fears that our show may offer too many of them, so we want to lay out some definitive rules so that all may feel welcome here at Between the Streams, without fear of ruining the new hotness. While we definitely strive to keep you informed, first and foremost is our desire to keep you happy, so we’ll be working on making sure all are welcome. That being said, there is a statute of limitations that we have to lay out — you can only have so much time, otherwise, well, we couldn’t talk about anything. Tune in today to find out our rules, as well as our drinking game that connects to the subject.

Finally, we’ll also be discussing a few other matters outside of Westeros this week, including Matt Damon’s dashing return to the Jason Bourne franchise and more, so tune in, and be sure to follow us on Stitcher, iTunes, and Facebook live.

Six people stand on the street and stare.

Eddie Brock and his Venom symbiote are enjoying their final ride in Venom: The Last Dance. The third Venom film will probably stay at the top of the box office for a third consecutive week. Venom's biggest competition is Heretic, A24's religious horror film starring Hugh Grant, Sophie Thatcher, and Chloe East.

Superheroes and horror flicks will dominate theaters this weekend. At home, the world is your oyster, as every genre will be at your disposal. If you're looking for free movies to stream, sign up for FAST services, which cost no money at all. Think about streaming one of these three movies: a charming walk-and-talk drama, a sci-fi mystery, and a terrific thriller.

The best new shows to stream on Netflix, Hulu, Max (HBO), and more
The cast of Bad Sisters.

Ideally, this weekend would have seen the streaming premiere of Yellowstone season 5, part 2 on Peacock, but apparently next-day streaming is not in the cards for the most popular show on cable TV ... unless you live in Canada or elsewhere outside of the U.S. That means it's a slow weekend in the streaming verse, and things are going to get a lot slower as 2024 runs out the clock during the next two months.

Fortunately, on Sunday, November 10, the season finale of HBO and Max's The Penguin will wrap up its story and set the stage for The Batman Part II. The only other noteworthy show is the season 2 premiere of Arcane on Saturday, November 9. Netflix is dropping Arcane season 2 over a three-week period, which is a departure from the streamer's normal release schedule. But it should keep fans of the series on their toes with some cliffhanger moments ahead.
