ABC's multi-city New Year's Eve special and new music from the K-pop act TVXQ are some of the new television, movies and music headed to a device near you.
Also among the streaming offerings worth your time as selected by The Associated Press' entertainment journalists are a true crime story on Max, a new version of “America's Got Talent” and a streaming guide to the year's best films.
— As the year winds down, most of the movie action is in cinemas. But if you're not heading out to see “The Color Purple," “Poor Things” or “Ferrari,” there's no better time to catch up on some of the year's best movies. Many of the films that made the top 10 lists of myself and AP Film Writer Lindsey Bahr are available in various places to stream.
If you haven't caught up to “Barbie” or “Oppenheimer” yet, you can digitally rent Christopher Nolan's blockbuster biopic, while Greta Gerwig's pink-hued phenomenon is streaming on Max. Alexander Payne's masterfully melancholic “The Holdovers,” starring Paul Giamatti, can be digitally rented also, as can Sofia Coppola's Priscilla Presley drama “Priscilla.”
On Netflix, there's Todd Haynes' appealingly arch “May December” and the dazzling animated sequel “Spider-Man: Across the Spiderverse.” On Prime Video, you can catch up to a pair of standouts from earlier in the year: A.V. Rockwell's sprawling New York tale “A Thousand and One” and Wes Anderson's elaborately layered “Asteroid City.” And if you're looking for something further afield, seek out “The Eight Mountains,” a majestic epic of friendship, streaming on the Criterion Channel.

Begin with the rocking, tense falsetto pop of lead-single “Dark.”
