Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom

The final film of Black Panther star Chadwick Boseman, this drama unfolds around a recording session in 1920s Chicago as a group of musicians awaits the arrival of legendary blues singer Ma Rainey. Viola Davis portrays the iconic performer, and Boseman plays an ambitious trumpeter in her band, with the latter attempting to set up his own musical future while sparring with his fellow bandmates. Directed by George C. Wolfe, the drama is based on the play of the same name by Fences playwright August Wilson.

Chilling Adventures of Sabrina: Part 4

Sabrina Spellman returns for one final adventure with her pals from Greendale in the fourth season of this Netflix hit that casts Kiernan Shipka as the half-human, half-witch teenager Sabrina, who must contend with the trials and tribulations of high-school life in her small town along with a recurring need to defend the mortal world from all manner of supernatural threats. The fourth season finds Sabrina dealing with a new, magical threat unleashed by the Blackwood clan, as well as the lingering dilemma of a time paradox that has Sabrina occupying two roles at once: Ruler of Hell and mortal teenager.
