WurteleFlix — Saturday, March 7

Saturday Saturday, March 7

Saturday packs a genuine embarrassment of riches — Formula 1 roars back to life in Melbourne, Werner Herzog hunts phantom elephants on Nat Geo, and Ryan Gosling returns to Studio 8H for what's guaranteed to be the funniest 90 minutes of your week. Meanwhile, HBO Movies is quietly running all six chapters of The Jinx back-to-back if you somehow missed Andrew Jarecki's masterwork the first time around.

Chris Fleming: Live at the Palace

HBO Comedy ·79 min ·TV-MA

Chris Fleming has been one of comedy's best-kept secrets for years, and this HBO special should change that permanently. His absurdist takes on masculinity, social anxiety, and conga lines are delivered with a physical commitment that borders on alarming — think if Pee-wee Herman had an anxiety disorder.

Andrew Jarecki's six-part investigation into real estate heir Robert Durst remains the single most jaw-dropping true crime documentary ever made. If you've never seen it, clear your afternoon — the final five minutes alone justify the entire run. HBO Movies is stacking all six chapters back-to-back, so settle in.

Scarlett Johansson steps behind the camera for her feature directorial debut, guiding the incomparable June Squibb through a story about a 94-year-old woman whose small lie spirals dangerously out of control. Squibb, who broke out as a leading lady in Thelma, proves that was no fluke — she carries every frame.

7:00 PM Movie

Jennifer's Body

Starz Encore Action ·105 min ·R

Karyn Kusama's 2009 horror-comedy was unfairly savaged on release and has since been rightly reclaimed as a sharp, subversive genre gem. Megan Fox devours the role — literally — as a demon-possessed cheerleader, and Diablo Cody's script is far smarter than anyone gave it credit for.

7:00 PM NEW Movie

Fackham Hall

HBO ·100 min ·R ·Also streaming on Max

Damian Lewis and Tom Felton star in this pitch-black HBO comedy about an affair at an English manor that goes spectacularly sideways into a murder frame-up. Director Jim O'Hanlon keeps the tone perfectly calibrated between farce and menace — it's the kind of dark British comedy Americans rarely get to see.

7:30 PM Movie

Spider-Man: Homecoming

E! Entertainment Television ·180 min ·PG-13

Tom Holland's first solo outing remains the most charming entry in the MCU canon — a high school comedy disguised as a superhero movie. Michael Keaton's Vulture is a top-five Marvel villain, and the third-act twist genuinely lands every single time.

7:36 PM Movie

Bride of Frankenstein

HBO Movies ·75 min

James Whale's 1935 sequel remains one of the great achievements in horror cinema — funnier, stranger, and more emotionally resonant than its predecessor. Elsa Lanchester's iconic appearance as the Bride takes up barely five minutes of screen time, yet it defined an entire genre.

8:00 PM NEW Movie

Ghost Elephants

National Geographic ·131 min ·Also streaming on Disney+ / Hulu

Werner Herzog ventures into the wild to find the largest, most elusive land mammals on Earth, and the result is exactly the kind of obsessive, philosophical nature documentary only he could make. At 83, Herzog's narration remains cinema's most distinctive voice — equal parts wonder and existential dread. This is singular television.

8:00 PM Movie

Tombstone

INSP ·180 min ·R

Val Kilmer's Doc Holliday is one of the great screen performances of the '90s — funny, terrifying, and heartbreaking in equal measure. Kurt Russell anchors the film as Wyatt Earp, but every time Kilmer opens his mouth, the movie elevates into something transcendent.

8:00 PM NEW Movie

Kiss of the Spider Woman

Crave1 ·135 min ·R

Bill Condon's musical reimagining pairs Diego Luna and Tonatiuh as unlikely prison cellmates forming a bond through fantasy and film. Jennifer Lopez joins the ensemble in what early word calls a genuine return to form — Condon knows his way around this material better than almost anyone.

Late Night

10:15 PM Movie

The Curse of Frankenstein

HBO Movies ·84 min

Terence Fisher's 1957 Hammer Horror classic launched both Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee into horror immortality. Paired with Bride of Frankenstein earlier on the same channel, it makes for a perfect double-feature evening of Frankenstein across the ages — studio horror at its most elegant.

Sunday Sunday, March 8

Spring forward steals an hour tonight, so make the ones you've got count. Sunday delivers a loaded primetime anchored by Dark Winds' return on AMC, CNN's gripping new Chernobyl docuseries, and a rare broadcast of The Manchurian Candidate for the classic film crowd. Add the Arnold Palmer Invitational final round, NASCAR at Phoenix, and the World Baseball Classic, and you've got a full day worth planning around.

★ Sunday's Top Pick

Dark Winds

8:00 PM | AMC |62 min

NEW Sunday Spotlight TV-MA

Zahn McClarnon's Leaphorn remains one of the most compelling characters on television — a Navajo police lieutenant navigating crime, culture, and colonial legacy in the 1970s Southwest. Dark Winds continues to do what few shows manage: deliver genre thrills while centering Indigenous perspectives with authenticity and respect. This is Sunday night's must-watch.

This tender documentary about the puppeteer behind Big Bird and Oscar the Grouch is one of those films that sneaks up on you emotionally. Caroll Spinney's six-decade journey inside Jim Henson's world is a story about dedication, artistry, and the power of children's television. Have tissues ready.

Chris Kentis shot this bare-bones thriller on a micro-budget with real sharks, and the result is 80 minutes of primal, suffocating dread. Based on a true story of scuba divers abandoned in open ocean, it's the kind of film that will make you reconsider your next beach vacation. Lean, mean, and devastatingly effective.

Nothing Compares

Sky Documentaries ·120 min

Kathryn Ferguson's documentary charts Sinéad O'Connor's meteoric rise and public exile with the emotional gravity her story deserves. Using archival footage and O'Connor's own words, it captures an artist who refused to separate her music from her convictions — and paid the price. A fitting tribute to one of pop music's most fearless voices.

9:04 PM Movie

Spy

Starz Edge ·123 min ·R

Paul Feig and Melissa McCarthy's action-comedy remains the gold standard for the genre — funnier than most comedies and more competently staged than half the actual spy films it's spoofing. Jason Statham's deadpan self-parody steals every scene he's in. A perfect nightcap that never gets old.
