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.

‘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.

Why The Green Bay Packers Must Take The Cleveland Browns Seriously — As Hard As That Might Be

The post Why The Green Bay Packers Must Take The Cleveland Browns Seriously — As Hard As That Might Be appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Jordan Love and the Green Bay Packers are off to a 2-0 start. Getty Images The Green Bay Packers are, once again, one of the NFL’s better teams. The Cleveland Browns are, once again, one of the league’s doormats. It’s why unbeaten Green Bay (2-0) is a 8-point favorite at winless Cleveland (0-2) Sunday according to betmgm.com. The money line is also Green Bay -500. Most expect this to be a Packers’ rout, and it very well could be. But Green Bay knows taking anyone in this league for granted can prove costly. “I think if you look at their roster, the paper, who they have on that team, what they can do, they got a lot of talent and things can turn around quickly for them,” Packers safety Xavier McKinney said. “We just got to kind of keep that in mind and know we not just walking into something and they just going to lay down. That’s not what they going to do.” The Browns certainly haven’t laid down on defense. Far from. Cleveland is allowing an NFL-best 191.5 yards per game. The Browns gave up 141 yards to Cincinnati in Week 1, including just seven in the second half, but still lost, 17-16. Cleveland has given up an NFL-best 45.5 rushing yards per game and just 2.1 rushing yards per attempt. “The biggest thing is our defensive line is much, much improved over last year and I think we’ve got back to our personality,” defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz said recently. “When we play our best, our D-line leads us there as our engine.” The Browns rank third in the league in passing defense, allowing just 146.0 yards per game. Cleveland has also gone 30 straight games without allowing a 300-yard passer, the longest active streak in the NFL.…
