00:00 Hi, I'm Stephen, National Horrors Digital Trends writer,

00:03 and welcome back to another episode of Weekend Watch,

00:05 where I'll be telling you through what's on TV

00:08 and the cinemas and streaming over the weekend and beyond.

00:13 Already out on Thursday the 7th is The Gentleman,

00:17 the Guy Ritchie series based on the 2019 film

00:21 with Matthew McConaughey.

00:22 This is a sort of sequel series with eight episodes.

00:26 It's released all in one go on the 7th.

00:29 Benji spoke about it at length on the main pod,

00:32 so go and give that a listen if you haven't already.

00:34 Also out on the 7th was Poor Things,

00:38 the Best Picture nominee with Emma Stone and Matt Ruffalo,

00:41 Willem Dafoe.

00:42 It's a sort of sci-fi, fantasy period drama,

00:47 which was a weird modernist take on Frankenstein.

00:52 Very well-acclaimed, obviously, to get the Best Picture nom,

00:55 as well as several other gongs.

00:56 And if you missed it at the cinema,

00:58 now is your chance to catch it on Disney+.

01:00 So getting on to Friday now, the 8th of March,

01:03 and Netflix fantasy film Damsel,

01:05 starring Millie Bobby Brown, is released.

01:09 It follows Brown's character, Isaiah Dutiful Damsel,

01:13 who agrees to marry a handsome prince,

01:15 but only to realize that the royal family

01:19 has intended her as a sacrifice to repay an ancient debt.

01:22 So she finds herself thrown into a cave

01:24 with a fire-breathing dragon

01:25 and has to rely on her wits and abilities

01:28 to survive.

01:29 So a sort of twist on the traditional fairy story.

01:32 Also on Friday, season two of The Reluctant Traveller

01:36 comes to Apple TV.

01:37 So it follows Schitt's Creek star Eugene Levy

01:40 on his travels through Europe

01:41 as he visits some of the continent's

01:43 both most intriguing destinations,

01:46 uncovers hidden gems,

01:47 and finds some fantastic hotels along the way.

01:50 Across the week, Crufts will have been on Channel 4,

01:55 and on Sunday the 10th, we have the Best in Show episode.

02:12 Sunday, we also have the film event of the year,

02:15 the Oscars.

02:23 Oppenheimer tipped to do very well off its success

02:27 at the BAFTAs and the Golden Globes previously.

02:30 Barbie's up for eight gongs,

02:32 but probably not tipped to win very many of them.

02:35 Other big name nominees are of course,

02:37 Poor Things, Killers of the Flower Moon,

02:40 and Anatomy of a Fall,

02:43 which could well win Best Foreign Picture.

02:45 So that will definitely be worth watching.

02:50 On Monday the 11th, we have season three
