In Prime Video’s Role Play Kaley Cuoco teams up with David Oyelowo in a comedic action thriller that feels like the perfect next step for her after The Flight Attendant. Let’s just pretend Meet Cute never happened. It’s also really nice to see David Oyelowo laugh on screen. The man plays “serious” very well, but even he needs to have fun occasionally.

Role Play begins streaming exclusively on Prime Video on January 12th.

Earlier this week, J-Lo announced a new album and an accompanying visual experience that will also stream on Prime Video. From the press release, I understand it will be an extravagant visual bonanza of romance and love.

This is Me…Now: The Film is like nothing you’ve ever seen from JL. A narrative driven, intimate, reflective, sexy, funny, fantastical and highly entertaining musical and visual reimagining of her publicly scrutinized love life. Along with Director Dave Meyers, Lopez creates a genre-redefining immersive cinematic experience: an extravagant visual and sonic feast with impressive choreography, star studded cameos, costumes, sets and blockbuster-worthy visuals. Although an astonishing vivid spectacle, the film is ultimately a heartfelt ode to JL’s journey of self-healing and everlasting belief in fairytale endings. Audiences will be captivated and leave hopeful that true love can be more than a dream.

This is Me … Now: The Film will begin streaming on Prime Video February 16. So, that’s Valentine’s Day weekend sorted, I guess.

If you prefer complex, interpersonal drama over romantic fairytale music videos, Jessica Chastain and Peter Sarsgaard have you covered in the trailer for Memory. You’ll want to have tissues handy for this one, folks.

Memory was shown at this year’s Venice Film Festival and will be released in theaters on December 22nd.

Let’s end on a high note with this week’s lagniappe. Or, A Note, at least. I don’t remember there being any rousing call for more stories about Seth MacFarlane’s profane teddy bear, Ted. Especially after the mediocre sequel. But here we are. Peacock truly is the home for high-quality TV shows and movies.
