The Cure's new album, a Hugh Grant-led horror film, and “Noirvember” top this week's Must List

"The Detroiters" finally hits streaming and a stop-motion anniversary short round out our picks for the weekend of Nov. 8.

In need of a good laugh? Me too. I've been diving into comfort "food" like Schitt's Creek and my current favorite, Ghosts. But I also suggest checking out our latest cover story, featuring The Goldbergs and Bridesmaids alum Wendi McLendon-Covey, star of NBC's new ensemble workplace comedy St. Denis Medical. Just like Abbott Elementary sends up teachers, St. Denis (premiering next Tuesday) pays tribute to medical workers — it's feel-good entertainment to escape with. —Patrick Gomez, Editor-in-Chief

What does a Cure record sound like in 2024? A lot like it did in 1989. The British legends' first album in 16 years unfurls like a brooding, gorgeous sequel to their gothic magnum opus, Disintegration. Decades on, frontman Robert Smith's vocals are still commanding and crystalline, his meditations on heartache and mortality somehow even more incisive and brutal. Across eight sprawling tracks, the band's winning formula of searing guitars, chilly synths, and thunderous percussion proves that veteran rockers don't have to reinvent the wheel to stay relevant. A timeless and triumphant return. —Jason Lamphier, Senior Editor

To believe or not to believe, that is the question at the center of this A24 horror offering starring Hugh Grant as a charming but diabolical amateur theologian (and pie enthusiast) who forcibly enlists two young Mormon missionaries in an ultimate test of faith. —Mike Miller, Executive Editor

This hidden-gem comedy about goofy BFFs running an ad agency is finally streaming again (on Netflix). Since ending the Comedy Central's initial run in 2018, stars (and real-life besties) Tim Robinson (I Think You Should Leave) and Sam Richardson (Ted LassoVeep) are now both Emmy winners. —Jillian Sederholm, News Director

Noirvember invites cinephiles to bask in the shadows of film noir. The Criterion Channel makes it easy with their November collections: "Columbia Noir," "Starring Ida Lupino," and "Queersighted: Queer Noir." Make it a perfect black-and-white evening with a drink from Eddie Muller's Noir Bar book. —Maureen Lee Lenker, Senior Writer

Some dreams don't have to end. Ten years after the animated miniseries delighted viewers, creator Patrick McHale has reassembled the show's colorful characters for a burst of stop-motion magic — a YouTube short film distinct from the original series and as familiar as your favorite pair of slippers. —Christian Holub, Senior Writer
