Where to watch The Menu

It’s a new year, which means it’s time for resolutions. For many,  a popular resolution is to stop eating bad, often delicious food. Who needs a juicy steak with butter and sour cream when you can have a tasty … salad? Granola? Or, heaven forbid … tofu?!?

Yet, just because you gave up eating delicious meals doesn’t mean you can’t watch other people indulge their appetites on the small screen. The Menu, a pitch-black dark comedy about the 1% being punished for their sins while consuming a rich course of delectable food, is the solution for new dieters either craving a good meal or seeking an entertaining movie to watch while at home.

If you’re in the mood for a wicked little comedy, then yes. And who isn’t in a mood for something like that? The Menu is at times brutal and violent, but also very funny, and it genuinely keeps you guessing until the ending. Most importantly, it delivers on its titular promise: you see a menu of tasty and tantalizing food that will make you hungry during and after watching it.

The director, Mark Mylod, assembled a cast of first-rate actors for his satire, including Nicholas Hoult, Hong Chau, Janet McTeer, John Leguizamo, Reed Birney, Judith Light, and Anya Taylor-Joy. Presiding over this meal, and giving the film’s standout performance is Lord Voldemort himself, Ralph Fiennes, who brings some spice and flair to his role as the deranged chef who is overseeing the killer meal. The film runs a tight 107 minutes and is rated R.

On Rotten Tomatoes, The Menu registers 89% on the Tomatometer and a 76% audience score.

You can now stream The Menu on HBO Max. We also have a primer explaining The Menu’s ending.

Yes, it's time for the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, that annual celebration that involves balloons, singers, actors, and cheerful morning news anchors commenting on all the action. The parade celebrates its 98th birthday this year, but like fine wine, it just grows better with age.

Where to watch Titans vs. Dolphins: NFL Week 4 Monday Night Football live stream
Will Levis stands at the podium and speaks.

There will be a doubleheader on Monday Night Football for the second consecutive week. In the first game, Will Levis and the Tennessee Titans (0-3) travel to Florida to play Tyreek Hill and the Miami Dolphins (1-2). Chris Fowler, Dan Orlovsky, Louis Riddick, and Laura Rutledge will be on the call for ESPN.

The Titans and Dolphins have major questions at quarterback coming into Week 4's game. Levis' turnovers are costing the Titans possessions, points, and ultimately, games. His inability to protect the ball is a huge issue. For Miami, their starting quarterback, Tua Tagovailoa, is out with a concussion. Their backup, Skylar Thompson, is not 100%. Will head coach Mike McDaniel trot out an injured Thompson, or let Tim Boyle or Tyler Huntley take over?
