Three movies, one series and one reality show to stream at home on the weekend
If you know director Sam Raimi, you know to expect campy horror (“Evil Dead”). If you’re unfamiliar, there’s your warning ahead of watching “Send Help,” streaming on Hulu. Raimi wants you to laugh, to not take things too seriously. Though, the premise is serious: Rachel McAdams plays a mocked, overlooked employee who becomes stranded on an island with her mean, snooty boss. She’s their best chance to survive in this gory commentary on gender and power. Serious stuff, yes, but also fun. — Seth Boster

“Crazy Rich Asians” is streaming on HBO Max, bringing glamour, family drama and romance all wrapped into one visually stunning film. The movie follows Rachel Chu as she travels to Singapore with her boyfriend, only to discover he comes from one of the wealthiest families in Asia. Packed with extravagant parties and emotional arguments, the film became a cultural phenomenon for its all-Asian leading cast and modern rom-com feel. — April Borjon
Streaming on HBO Max, “Saltburn” delivers a dark, twisted story through characters portrayed by Barry Keoghan and Jacob Elordi. The psychological thriller follows a University of Oxford student who becomes entangled in the lavish and unsettling world of a wealthy classmate and his eccentric family. Stylish and just plain weird, “Saltburn” is the type of movie that will have you staring at the screen wondering, “What did I just watch?” — April Borjon

Spider-Man is back, and this time he’s played by an unlikely Nicolas Cage. In the action series, “Spider-Noir,” available now on Prime Video, Cage, who was once The Spider, New York City’s only superhero, is now a down-on-his-luck private investigator. After stepping away from the superhero gig due to a personal tragedy, a new case inspires a return to superhero duties. You can watch the show in either black-and-white or color. — Jennifer Mulson
I’m a sucker for reality dating shows, and season four of “Perfect Match” hits my sweet spot. A whole bunch of young singles, mostly culled from other reality dating shows, like “Love is Blind” and “Age of Attraction,” gather in a tropical location and vie to be matched with their ideal mate, all while competing in physical and mental challenges and lots of drama. — Jennifer Mulson
