Here Are 9 Places The World Cup Will Be Streaming This Weekend

This Christmas we get Kevin Bacon

Marvel Studios’ Special Presentation: The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special: Wow, this looks really fun. Looks like Star Lord is feeling lonely and his team of ragtag scavengers, GOTG alum, and even Cosmo The Spacedog will team up to deliver a special present to Terra-born Peter Quill. The team is headed to Hollywood to pick up someone special. This looks great. Might be a great weekend for six degrees of Kevin Bacon. It’s a Kevin Bacon and Kyra Sedgwick Christmas! Check out the trailer below.

Want more of The Chip? We understand. How’s your trivia game? Are Kevin Bacon and wife Kyra Sedgwick married? Are Kyra Sedgwick and Kevin Bacon even still together? How’s your Kevin Bacon filmography?

Our Universe (Netflix): Netflix’s newest documentary is giving off some pretty awesome Prehistoric Planet vibes. Narrated by Morgan Freeman, Netflix aims to tell an epic odyssey spanning a period of nearly 14 billion years.

From the birth of the sun to the birth of a turtle, Our Universe will use “groundbreaking animation to dramatize the spectacular celestial forces that generated our solar system, while modern camera and CGI technology bring the audience up close and personal with some of the most iconic, charismatic animals on Earth.”

The six-part series will explore the connections that bind us all in the natural world. It’s been quite a while since we’ve seen a streamer tackle the natural world at this scale, we’re pumped!

Will there be aliens?

Wednesday (Netflix): Snap, snap, it’s finally here. Netflix’s Wednesday drops this weekend and promises to deliver like only Tim Burton’s imagination can. There’s a mystery brewing at the Nevermore Academy.

Trevor Noah: I Wish You Would: Trevor Noah may have plans to leave The Daily Show but he looks confident as ever in his return to Netflix as he tackles learning German, speaking ill of the dead, and his love of curry.

Hits you might have missed to check out this Thanksgiving

Nope, the latest release from pop-horror writer and auteur Jordan Peele dropped last week on Peacock. The film follows brother and sister Otis and Emerald Haywood as they investigate an otherworldly guest on their ranch in West California.

Netflix’s All Quiet On The Western Front takes viewers to the German front line of World War I’s brutal trench warfare in this highly praised war flick by Edward Berger.

If you haven’t had a chance to check Dark on Netflix, be sure you do before watching 1899. With just three seasons, this mind-bending time-travel drama is an easy binge that will leave you questioning whether reality as we know it is real.

Season 3 of the newest Kevin Bacon TV series The Following on Showtime: Yes, it’s a GOTG Christmas-themed post, which means more Kevin Bacon (muhahaha)!

Have a family conversation this weekend about Netflix’s new Extra Home Fee (lol). Here’s everything you need to know about the streamer’s new crackdown on password sharing.

Happy streaming everyone (and Kevin Bacon)!
