The Thursday Murder Club Netflix Well, KPop Demon Hunters may finally not be planted at #1 anymore on Netflix’s Top 10 list as a few different films have moved past it now.

The new murder-based comedy stars two different Oscar winners and one James Bond, having them team up to solve a mystery in a retirement community. The Oscar winners are Ben Kingsley and Helen Mirren, James Bond is Pierce Brosnan and the final actress in the group of four is Celia Imrie, who I certainly don’t mean to disparage.

‘Knives Out’ Murder Mystery Fans May Like Netflix’s New #1 Movie

The Thursday Murder Club

Netflix

Well, KPop Demon Hunters may finally not be planted at #1 anymore on Netflix’s Top 10 list as a few different films have moved past it now. That includes one that has shown up this week, The Thursday Murder Club.

The new murder-based comedy stars two different Oscar winners and one James Bond, having them team up to solve a mystery in a retirement community. The Oscar winners are Ben Kingsley and Helen Mirren, James Bond is Pierce Brosnan and the final actress in the group of four is Celia Imrie, who I certainly don’t mean to disparage. I’ve seen her a number of great things including The Diplomat.

The comedy is directed by Harry Potter’s Chris Columbus, and should give you at least some level of Knives Out vibes, the Netflix Rian Johnson series that is now continually producing new installments. Another similarity is just how many recognizable faces are in the cast besides those four including Naomi Ackie, Tom Ellis, Jonathan Pryce, Richard E. Grant and David Tennant. It’s truly an all-star line-up. Here’s the official synopsis:

The Thursday Murder Club

Netflix

So is it…good? It depends who you ask. Critics are largely positive about it, and The Thursday Murder Club has a 76% on Rotten Tomatoes. It has a lesser 59% from audiences, but there are barely any reviews in there yet. We can compare that with Knives Out, which has a 97%/92% split, and then its sequel, Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery, which had a 91% and 92%. Welp, not quite as good, but probably still worth watching. There is actually a third Knives Out movie coming to Netflix, Wake Up Dead Man, which will arrive on December 12, 2025.

I find it interesting that Pierce Brosnan and Helen Mirren have re-teamed here as they are currently playing husband and wife on Mobland, the popular Paramount Plus crime series where they play rather incompetent heads of their family that their children are always trying to rein in. It’s okay, I’d probably recommend it.

We will see how long The Thursday Murder Club remains at #1 and if KPop Demon Hunters can take back that spot in week, what, seven, eight? It’s already the most popular movie in Netflix history and it’s only extending its lead from here. Anyway, check The Thursday Murder Club out if you’re missing Knives Out, though manage expectations.

American Express Platinum Card Refresh 2025: $895 fee, $3,500 perks

American Express Platinum Card Refresh 2025: $895 fee, $3,500 perks

The post American Express Platinum Card Refresh 2025: $895 fee, $3,500 perks appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. American Express platinum business card. Courtesy: American Express American Express on Thursday unveiled updates to its flagship credit card amid heightened industry competition over the country’s high spenders. The company said that consumer and business versions of its refreshed Platinum card now carry an $895 annual fee, about 29% higher than the current fee of $695. But consumers can now tap $3,500 in annual benefits, according to American Express, mostly in the form of credits offsetting purchases made on the card, more than twice the previous level. The perks include credits at Uber, Lululemon, Oura, the restaurant booking platform Resy, and enhanced hotel and streaming benefits, the card issuer said. Business card users will also see $3,500 in annual benefits, including new hotel credits and offsets for purchases at Dell Technologies and Adobe. Those are on top of the card’s existing benefits, none of which have been rolled back, said Howard Grosfield, president for U.S. consumer services at American Express. American Express’ announcement highlights an arms race of sorts when it comes to catering to wealthy U.S. consumers. In recent months, JPMorgan Chase and Citigroup released updated or new premium cards, products laden with benefits for those who spend, travel and dine enough to make them worthwhile. Notably, American Express and JPMorgan each made announcements within a day of the unveiling of their rival’s updated premium cards. American Express touted its biggest ever investment in a card refresh back in June just before JPMorgan released its latest Sapphire Reserve card, while JPMorgan announced improvements to that card’s hotel perks Wednesday. Card issuers are banking on the fact that wealthy Americans are driving an ever-growing share of the country’s overall spending. Consumers with top 10% incomes accounted for roughly half of total spending in the second quarter, the highest level in…
