Rian Johnson Shares The 'Poker Face' Easter Egg You Missed In 'Glass Onion'

Sometimes you need to wait more than 30 years for a satisfying movie sequel, and sometimes you only have to wait three. This week, Top Gun: Maverick, the looong-awaited sequel to the Tom Cruise blockbuster is available on Paramount+, as is Glass Onion, the second (in what we hope is a long line) of the Knives Out mysteries led by Daniel Craig, which is now on Netflix. All that, and a Diane Keaton body-switch movie to boot? It must be Christmas! With so many great new shows and films to choose from, let us here at Decider help you figure out what to watch this weekend and where to stream it.

New Movies and Shows to Stream This Weekend: Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery, Top Gun: Maverick, Mack & Rita + More

Tom Cruise returns as Pete “Maverick” Mitchell, the Navy pilot with an independent streak that we came to love in the 1980s, and still love because he hasn’t changed a bit. In Maverick, Pete faces his past thanks to the lingering memory of Goose and his turbulent friendship with Iceman, but he’s still down for a fly-by near the flight tower any chance he gets. In Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery, yet another group of people are united under one roof in order to find out which one is the killer: come for the celebrity cameos, stay for the genuinely entertaining mystery. And in Mack & Rita, Diane Keaton plays Rita, the older alter ego of a young woman named Mack who just wishes she could be retired already. Don’t we all?

New on Netflix December 23: Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery

I’m not saying that every movie should be a Knives Out Mystery, but judging from the first two films that bear the Knives Out name, I don’t really know why you’d want to watch anything else. Glass Onion is the second movie featuring Daniel Craig as detective Benoit Blanc, and in this film, who has been tapped to solve a mysterious murder among a group of well-to-do pals who reunite at the private island of their friend Miles (Edward Norton). The stellar cast includes Janelle Monáe, Kate Hudson, and Kathryn Hahn, and more cameos than we can name in this paragraph, and the film is just a damn delightful mystery that will make you wish that Jeremy Renner really did make his own hot sauce.

New on Paramount+ December 22: Top Gun: Maverick

Top Gun: Maverick gives us everything we want from a Top Gun sequel: First off, there’s the reunion between Maverick and Iceman himself, Val Kilmer. Then the film sends Mav back to Top Gun – as a teacher this time – to instruct a bunch of pilots. One of the pilots he’s instructing, Rooster (Miles Teller), coincidentally happens to be the son of Maverick’s old co-pilot, Goose, which means that on top of a raucous action film, there’s also some healing and closure to one of the 1980s most traumatic on-screen deaths. And you better believe Cruise does all his own stunts in this one, too.

New on Hulu December 23: Mack & Rita

Mack (Elizabeth Lail) is a 30-year-old woman who pulls a total Big on herself when she wishes she could just be the 70-year-old woman she was destined to be. (Because leaving events early to go to bed is #goals.) After visiting a “past lives specialist”, Mack is transformed into Rita (Diane Keaton), her older alter ego. Playing it off that Rita is Mack’s aunt, Mack/Rita lives her best life as a old wine-swilling bon vivant of sorts, and she realizes that it’s fun to be the saucy old broad until it’s not, and then it’s time to figure out how to transform back into her regular self.
