Showcase — both lanes
Promos & picks.
Two lanes, one showcase. Lane one: the network's own promos — the commercials that run between our shows, for the shows that live on this network. Lane two: Go Watch — the new movies and shows out right now that we are telling everybody to go see.

This weekend's picks — new movies and shows out now, and where to find them
A diver searching for his father's remains gets swallowed by a whale. A survival story and a father-and-son story in one, with Josh Brolin.
Marvel closes the WandaVision trilogy — Paul Bettany back as Vision, chasing the son he believes came back.

Go Watch picks are our recommendations, not network programming — those movies and shows live on the studios' own screens and platforms, and we say so every time. The promos in lane one are ours: they run free on our own air, for our own shows.
