Weekend Watch: This sick yet sexy new thriller series has an incredible cast.

Is it just me, or does the week feel approximately 400 days long lately? By the time Friday afternoon rolls around, my brain has officially left the building, and the thought of making even one more decision — even a fun one — feels like a personal attack.

We've all been there: scrolling through streaming tiles until the "Are you still watching?" prompt starts to feel like a judgment on your life choices.

Well, put the remote down and step away from the Gilmore Girls reruns (we love her, but she's had enough airtime). We've scoured the platforms, sat through the duds, and hand-picked the absolute best of the best so you don't have to.

Here's every new release you should watch this weekend, as recommended by Mamamia's entertainment team.

What to watch this weekend, according to Mamamia's entertainment experts.

Marty Supreme.

Marty Supreme is two hours and thirty minutes long, yet it flies by in a heartbeat.

This new film from Josh Safdie (Uncut Gems and Good Time) moves at breakneck speed, offering up a melting pot of drama, dream chasing, violence, romance, and the intricacies of the professional ping-pong scene in a way that is intoxicating to watch.

Timothée Chalamet stars as Marty Mauser (a character loosely based on Marty "The Needle" Reisman, a real-life US table tennis champ from the 1950s), a young man working in a shoe shop in 1950's New York who is dissatisfied with the mediocre life that has been laid out for him, partly by his mother (a perfectly cast Fran Drescher) and is adamant that he is destined for greater things.

Specifically, he dreams of being the world's top-ranked table tennis player and winning the British Open, while also launching his own brand of balls called the 'Marty Supreme'.He's also having an affair (and quite a bit of stockroom sex) with his married childhood sweetheart Rachel (Odessa A'zion), and after holding a gun to a co-worker's head in order to secure the shoe shop wages he said he's owed, Marty flies off to the UK expecting to soon return home to New York as a celebrated star.Yet all does not go to plan, and not only does Marty give a problematic interview to reporters about a fellow player, but he is also spectacularly defeated by a Japanese player (Koto Kawaguchi) and promptly throws a very public tantrum about his loss.

In amongst the table tennis drama, Marty's London trip also leads him to meet Kay Stone (Gwyneth Paltrow), a once-famous Hollywood actress who stepped away from the spotlight in order to become a bored society wife to businessman Milton Rockwell (Kevin O'Leary).

Over the course of the film, Marty befriends and then seduces Kay through sheer annoyance and arrogance (which is not a message I hope men take away from this film), while also getting into a precarious business arrangement with her husband.

You see, when a disgraced Marty returns to New York, he discovers that he has been banned from the World Championship unless he pays a $1,500 fine to the International Table Tennis Association.

The real triumph of Marty Supreme is how much action and storytelling are able to be squeezed into this film without one element of it feeling flimsy or unfinished.Every character, even those with limited screen time, feels believable and fleshed out in a way that makes you feel like you've just watched a 10-episode prestige series instead of an (admittedly long) movie.

Overall, Marty Supreme is a wildly entertaining ride with a standout cast. See it in a cinema if you can, because this is a viewing experience you'll definitely want to share.

Marty Supreme is now in cinemas.

The Beauty.

Recommended by Tara Watson, Senior Entertainment Producer.

The latest creation from the dark corner of Ryan Murphy's sick mind is The Beauty.

The series is a sci-fi body-horror thriller centred on a sexually transmitted virus that makes people super hot but, of course, there are some conditions to attaining eternal beauty.

Evan Peters and Rebecca Hall star as FBI agents investigating a global conspiracy linked to the drug's creator, a tech billionaire played by Ashton Kutcher. 

The ensemble cast includes Anthony Ramos, Jeremy Pope, Isabella Rossellini, along with guest star, supermodel Bella Hadid, in her first major acting role.

If you weren't a fan of All's Fair, don't worry: this series is a return to form for Murphy, who is back doing what he does best, aka being weird, salacious and a bit gross. Is it a perfect series? No. Does the concept feel a tad tired and too much like The Substance? Yes. Is it still a damn fun time? Also yes.

The Beauty is now streaming on Disney+.

A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms.

Calling all Game Of Thrones fans (bar the last two seasons…we don't talk about the last two seasons).

A brand new show has entered the Game of Thrones universe, and after just one episode, I'm HOOKED. The show is on HBO, and it's called A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms. The story follows a Hedge Knight called Ser Duncan The Tall (also known as Dunk) and his squire named Egg as they travel across the famous Game Of Thrones map together.

Although this story is set a century before the Game Of Thrones events, it does have a slightly different tone. From the get-go, I was laughing out loud. Dunk, played by Peter Claffey is FUNNY. I'm hoping the series sticks to the slightly comedic nature of his character as I feel it complements the seriousness of the Game of Thrones universe well.

A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms is streaming on HBO MAX now.

Disneyland Handcrafted.

Call me a Disney Adult, fine! But I have been so keen to check this new documentary out, with scenes and snippets hitting my TikTok timeline.

The feature documentary gives you an inside look at Walt Disney's dream to build the Happiest Place on Earth, Disneyland. It follows the frenzied race against time to bring this land of magic to life in 1955, with rare archival footage and original audio recordings.

Unlike some highly over-produced Disneyland content, Leslie Iwerks has created a 'fly-on-the-wall' feeling as the story is told through the firsthand accounts of the artists, craftsmen, and Imagineers who were there.

This might not be everyone's cup of tea — or spinning teacup, if we're going with the whole Disneyland thing — but it is a unique and fascinating insight into how the Disney team builds their worlds on and off the screen.

The Walsh Sisters.

Recommended by Laura Brodnik, Head of Entertainment and co-host of The Spill.

The Walsh Sisters is finally airing in Australia, and it's the adaptation book fans have been waiting for.

The six-part series is based on the best-selling Marian Keyes' books, which chronicle the stories of the Dublin-dwelling Walsh family, made up of Mammy and Daddy Walsh and their five adult daughters: Claire, Maggie, Anna, Rachel, and Helen.

At the start of the series, we are introduced to each of the Walsh family members, who all appear to be at huge turning points in their lives.

Anna (Louisa Harland) is madly in love and has just become engaged to a sweet man she has only known for a few months. Rachel (Caroline Menton) is in the throes of a secret drug addiction, which becomes less secret when her boyfriend Luke (Jay Duffy) calls an ambulance for her in the opening scenes. While Maggie (Stefanie Preissner) is the dependable sister holding the family together but is also yearning to fall pregnant.

Claire (Danielle Galligan) is a single mother going through a complicated divorce, while the youngest sister, Helen (Máiréad Tyers) is struggling with independence while still living at home with her parents (played by Carrie Crowley and Aidan Quinn in a stroke of incredible casting).

If you're a die-hard fan of Marian Keyes and the Walsh family books, then you'll love seeing their stories adapted for the small screen and the talented cast that brings the characters we've grown to love from the pages to life.At the same time, if you've never picked up a Marian Keyes novel and are unfamiliar with this loveable but drama-filled family, then you're in for a treat when you step into this world for the first time.
