WurteleFlix — Saturday, March 7

Saturday Saturday, March 7

Saturday, March 7 is the rare television day where you genuinely can't look away — the 2026 Formula 1 season lights out in Melbourne, Ryan Gosling takes the SNL stage with Gorillaz, and The Jinx marathon is ready to consume your entire afternoon across six devastating chapters. Wrexham face Chelsea in an FA Cup fairy tale, Werner Herzog hunts ghost elephants on National Geographic, and classic horror royalty awaits on HBO Movies. Brew the coffee, charge the remote — this Saturday earns it.

NEW TV-14

Ryan Gosling hosting Saturday Night Live is appointment television — he is one of the rare hosts who visibly commits to every sketch, and his previous appearances produced some of the show's most-shared moments in recent memory. Gorillaz performing makes this a genuine double event. This is the Saturday night you planned your whole day around. Clear it.

If you've never seen it, this marathon is a genuine event; if you have, you already know you're going to end up watching at least the last two chapters. Clear the afternoon.

Crave1 ·100 min ·PG-13 ·2025

Scarlett Johansson steps behind the camera for the first time and delivers a film carried almost entirely by 94-year-old June Squibb in a performance that is quietly, devastatingly funny. A small lie told by an elderly woman takes on a dangerous life of its own — and the film earns every emotion it chases. Don't let this one slip by.

7:00 PM NEW Movie

Fackham Hall

HBO ·100 min ·R ·Also streaming on Max

A dark British manor comedy about a man who gets framed for murder mid-affair — and Damian Lewis, fully unleashed in farce mode, is reason enough to tune in alone. Tom Felton brings exactly the class-conscious menace you'd expect, and the whole thing has the delicious mean streak that the British do better than anyone. Smart, nasty fun.

7:00 PM NEW Movie

Jennifer's Body

Starz Encore Action ·105 min ·R

Karyn Kusama's film was misread on release and has since been fully, gloriously reclaimed — a sharp horror-comedy about female friendship, sacrifice, and the particular hungers of adolescence. Megan Fox gives a committed, genuinely unnerving performance, and Amanda Seyfried grounds every scene with quiet intelligence. The perfect opening act for a Saturday night horror double.

7:00 PM NEW Movie

Remember Me: The Mahalia Jackson Story

BET Her ·152 min ·TV-14

Ledisi is extraordinary as the Queen of Gospel, bringing both vocal power and emotional depth to a story that is also fundamentally about the civil rights movement and the cost of using your gift for something larger than yourself. With Keith David and Vanessa Williams in support, this is richer and more ambitious than your typical biopic. Essential Saturday evening viewing.

7:30 PM NEW Family Pick Movie

Spider-Man: Homecoming

E! Entertainment Television ·180 min ·PG-13

The best high school movie Marvel ever made also happens to feature one of the MCU's most grounded villains — Michael Keaton's Vulture is menacing precisely because his grievance makes sense. Tom Holland found the character here, and every scene with Robert Downey Jr. crackles. Great for families who want something with genuine stakes.

7:36 PM NEW Movie

Bride of Frankenstein

HBO Movies ·75 min

James Whale's sequel surpasses its predecessor in almost every way — wilder, more theatrical, more genuinely strange, and anchored by Elsa Lanchester's iconic dual performance that etched itself permanently into horror history. At 75 minutes, it's an elegant commitment for a Saturday evening. Whale makes the monster sympathetic in ways that still land after ninety years.

8:00 PM NEW Movie

Ghost Elephants

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

Werner Herzog at 83, still plunging into wilderness with a camera and a philosophical narration — this time hunting the largest, most elusive land mammals alive alongside explorer Steve Boyes. His documentaries are never simply about their subjects; they're about the human compulsion to seek, to find, to fail beautifully. This is essential Herzog, and essential television.

8:00 PM NEW Movie

Tombstone

INSP ·180 min ·R

Val Kilmer's Doc Holliday is simply one of the great screen performances — swaggering, poetic, and genuinely moving as a man who knows exactly how much time he has left and has decided to spend it gloriously. Kurt Russell is the hero, but everyone comes for Kilmer. 'I'm your huckleberry' never gets old, and it never will.

8:00 PM NEW Movie

Kiss of the Spider Woman

Crave1 ·135 min ·R

Bill Condon's ambitious musical adaptation of Manuel Puig's prison novel stars Diego Luna alongside revelatory newcomer Tonatiuh in a story about storytelling, survival, and queer solidarity that refuses to be easily categorized. Jennifer Lopez's performance has drawn serious attention, and rightly so. Complex, genuinely moving, and unlike anything else airing tonight.

Sunday Sunday, March 8

AMC's acclaimed Navajo crime drama *Dark Winds* returns for a new season, CNN launches a gripping two-part Chernobyl documentary event, and the NHL drops a marquee Oilers-Golden Knights showdown in Vegas.

This week's two-hour episode is titled 'Losing Altitude' — an apt metaphor for a franchise that thrives on relationships in controlled descent, with Lisa finally coming clean to Daniel, Michal arriving in Turkey for the first time, and at least one date night going spectacularly sideways. The *Before the 90 Days* format consistently produces the franchise's most unguarded moments, when the gap between fantasy and reality hits the hardest.

Back-to-back series premiere tonight; clear two hours.

Noah Wyle's acclaimed medical drama continues its real-time format in another intense Pittsburgh Trauma Medical Center shift — intimate, unglamorous, and committed to showing what frontline healthcare actually looks like.
