Stream 2 of the year’s best movies this weekend (Sept. 26–28)
Welcome to the Gold Ticket, your VIP guide to the best of pop culture for the weekend ahead, curated by the Gold Derby team of experts.
28 Years Later on Netflix: Whether you know it or not, we're all headed to the Bone Temple. I mean that both literally and figuratively. Literally, in that the follow-up to Danny Boyle and Alex Garland's 28 Years Later — subtitled The Bone Temple and directed by Hedda's Nia DaCosta — hits theaters in January, and everybody should go see it. And figuratively... well, you should probably just watch 28 Years Later if you don't get that part. The very good, surprisingly emotional zombie flick is now streaming on Netflix.
Splitsville on VOD: The Naked Gun made a big splash, heralded as "The Return of the Theatrically Released Comedy," but quietly unleashed into theaters a few weeks later was Splitsville, the hilarious follow-up from the guys behind the under-seen The Climb. The relationship comedy follows two couples — cowriter Kyle Marvin and Andor's Adria Arjona in one and director-cowriter Michael Angelo Covino and Dakota Johnson in the other—as they unpair and repair to the chaotic rhythms of modern life. This is destined to be an indie comedy modern classic.
Getting Killed by Geese: The Brooklyn rock band released their fourth album today, and it's already getting some of the year's best reviews. Check out "Taxes" as a good entry point and then keep rocking from there. You'll be able to seem really cool when the album blows up later.
