The Killer on Netflix, Dumb Money, and every new movie to watch at home this weekend

While this week may feel like a bit of a slog after the long holiday weekend, luckily the new TV this week does not. Take Obliterated, for example, Netflix’s latest bawdy comedy about an elite special forces team having to go through their own The Hangover-esque recovery as they try to track down a nuclear bomb. It’s a comedy that is often raunchy but even more frequently funny, and the show is smarter than it has to be.

Greetings, Polygon readers!

It’s (American) Thanksgiving this week, which means you might watch a lot of TV, but it might not be strictly new releases. But that doesn’t mean television stops; amid all the Mystery Science Theater 3000 marathons and parade fare there’s plenty of new offerings to catch up on. That might be from the year writ large — is it finally time to catch up on Silo or make space for Fionna and Cake in full? Or maybe you’re looking to keep the autumnal season alive with a classic like Over the Garden Wallor a gone-too-soon hit like Marianne.

Naughty Dog officially announced The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered recently for PS5, with new content like lost levels and a roguelike mode. It’s launching early next year, but some question whether a remaster is necessary. Others, like on Twitter, feel the developer should work on new titles instead of remastering old ones.

Happy Friday, Polygon readers!

Black Friday is one of the few times per year when you can easily find great deals on extra storage for your console, handheld, or PC. Install sizes for games are only getting larger, forcing those who want to keep up with the latest titles to upgrade faster than they imagined. But thankfully, many of our favorite SSDs and microSD card options are available for their lowest prices ever.

Another month, another batch of fresh games set to hit Xbox Game Pass. This time around, you can expect new games like Persona 5 Tactica and the console version of Dune: Spice Wars, as well as DLC and updates, and more. And, per usual, some games are leaving Xbox Game Pass this month. Let's break it all down below. 

Now that Amazon has revealed Eternal Frost, Season Four for N ew World, the team has begun to fill in some of the blanks about the upcoming content. Today, we get a preview of the coming season’s narrative and characters.

This week’s TV premieres are all heavy hitters — some more literally than others (Godzilla is pretty much always at fighting weight, and a total knockout at that). But suffice it to say that while everything else might be looking ahead to the U.S. Thanksgiving holiday, television is bringing its A game.

Around 70% of David Fincher’s The Killer, the fastidious director’s new hitman movie on Netflix, is watching Michael Fassbender throw things he doesn’t need anymore in the trash. Disposable gloves, backpacks, guns, disguises, corpses, phones, identities, surplus packaging, the bun of an Egg McMuffin. Fassbender’s assassin character — referred to simply as “the killer” in the credits — just keeps moving forward, like a shark, jettisoning anything and everything that’s no longer required, that might be evidence, that might slow him down or weigh down his pockets.

Country superstar Chris Stapleton's fifth studio album and a documentary about Albert Brooks that includes Steven Spielberg, David Letterman, Ben Stiller, Larry David, Chris Rock and Wanda Sykes are some of the new television, movies, music and games headed to a device near you.

Happy Friday, Polygon readers! Each week, we round up the most notable releases to streaming and video rental, highlighting the biggest and best new movies for you to watch at home.
