Movies & TV Shows to Watch this Weekend

I started watching two shows this past week, Presumed Innocent starring Jake Gyllenhaal on AppleTV+, and A Man in Full starring Jeff Daniels on Netflix. Both have been pretty enjoyable so far, enjoyable enough for me to stop playing Zelda and watch some TV. I’ve also been a huge fan of Jeff Daniels ever since The Newsroom and his personality on A Man in Full reminds me a lot of that Jeff Daniels.

Randomly, both shows I’m watching star Bill Camp. I like the character on one show and dislike him on the other so it’s really weird to bounce from one show to another.

One thing I realized, the Apple Vision Pro is a really great device, not only to watch movies and shows on an extremely large screen, but also to help me stay focused. Usually when I’m watching TV on the couch I’m constantly on my phone or on my laptop fidgeting. Like literally picking up and putting my phone down every couple of minutes like a bad tic. With the Apple Vision Pro I can’t do that. Firstly I can’t keep picking up my phone since it’s not practical to check my phone while on the AVP. I’ve tried mirroring my phone through an app called Bevel, but once the phone goes to sleep it disconnects. I could of course browse the web while watching a movie or show on the AVP, but not when I’m in theater mode. Theater mode on the AVP is really great, you get immersed in an environment that looks like a large cinema with no one there but you and a huge screen in front of you.

When you’re immersed you can’t have other apps open or else it takes you out of that environment and puts you back in a normal environment with different windows. Hard to explain but what I’m trying to say, theater mode is such a great way to watch stuff on TV because I’m totally focused, while watching. I’m just there doing one thing only, watching tv. Kinda like how when you go to a movie theater in real life you don’t get on your phone.

Anyway let me know in the comments what you recently watched or planning to watch.
