Sinners, the latest team-up from director Ryan Coogler and Michael B. Jordan, delivers vampiric thrills aplenty. But does the fun end when the credits start to roll?

SEE ALSO: 'Sinners' review: Ryan Coogler and Michael B. Jordan deliver a vampire movie for the ages

Thanks to the MCU and other big-ticket action franchises, mid-credit and end-credit scenes have become a tradition in most major releases, helping promote upcoming films and characters. Coogler himself is no stranger to end-credits scenes, as they featured in both Black Panther and Black Panther: Wakanda Forever.

While Sinners' satisfying ending doesn't seem to tee up a sequel, that doesn't stop Coogler from taking a page from his stint in the MCU and adding both a mid- and end-credits scene to his latest film. No spoilers here, but trust me: They're worth waiting around for.

The mid-credits scene is far more than just an MCU-style tease, acting as a larger bookend to the film and answering any big questions that may linger following Sinners' bloody climax.

Meanwhile, the end-credits scene functions as a more traditional button for the movie. So be sure to stick around, appreciate the hundreds of artists who worked on Sinners, and take in every last drop of the film.

Sinners is now in theaters.

Looking for something great to watch at home? Streaming subscribers are spoiled for choice between Hulu, Netflix, Max, Disney+, Apple TV+, Prime Video, Shudder, Paramount+, Peacock, and more. And that's before you even look at the vast libraries of movies and television programs within each one!

Don't be overwhelmed or waste an hour scrolling through your services to determine what to watch. We've got your back, whatever your mood. Mashable offers watch guides for all of the above, broken down by genre: comedy, thriller, horror, documentary, and animation, among others. But if you're seeking something brand-new (or just new to streaming), we've got you covered there, too.

Mashable's entertainment team has scoured the streaming services to highlight the most buzzed-about releases of this week and ranked them from worst to best — or least worth your time to most watchable. Whether you're looking for something heart-wrenching, sexy, unnerving, or hilarious, we've got something just for you.

Here's what's new on streaming, from worst to best.

9. Wolf Man (2025)

If you watch only one movie this week, make it anything but Wolf Man. Following the success of 2020's The Invisible Man, writer/director Leigh Whannell took a crack at reinvigorating another Universal Monster movie — in this case, the 1941 classic starring Lon Chaney — but failed miserably.

Forget everything you think you know about werewolves, because this tragedy-steeped mess of a movie is using lycanthropy as a metaphor for chronic illness. In my review for the film's theatrical release, I jeered, "Whannell's Wolf Man is a maudlin mess, which heaps on grief and grisliness without balancing it with character... Compared to The Invisible Man, it's a serious misstep for Whannell. Compared to The Mummy, well, that might have been a wreck of a movie, but at least it was occasionally fun. " — Kristy Puchko, Entertainment Editor

Starring: Christopher Abbott, Julia Garner, and Sam Jaeger

How to watch: Wolf Man begins streaming on Peacock on April 18.

8. #1 Happy Family USA

Ramy Youssef (co-creator of Ramy and Mo) jumps into the world of adult animated series with #1 Happy Family USA, a dark satirical look at a Muslim American family living in post-9/11 New Jersey.

On top of creating and executive producing the show, Youssef also voices two members of the Hussein family: youngest son Rumi, whose closest friend is a talking lamb, and patriarch Hussein, who is determined to make sure his family fits in with the rest of America. Cue attempts at assimilation, code-switching, and American patriotism, all heightened with crass animated absurdity. — Belen Edwards, Entertainment Reporter

Starring: Ramy Youssef, Alia Shawkat, Salma Hindy, Randa Jarrar, Azhar Usman, Chris Redd, Akaash Singh, Whitmer Thomas, and Mandy Moore

How to watch: #1 Happy Family USA is now streaming on Prime Video.

7. Ransom Canyon

American Primeval isn't the only Western hitting Netflix this year. Joining it is Ransom Canyon, a Western romance based on the book series of the same name by Jodi Thomas.

Josh Duhamel stars as Staten Kirkland, a longtime rancher in the Texas town of Ransom Canyon. As Staten grieves the loss of his family and fends off greedy pipeline surveyors, he finds comfort in his late wife's best friend, Quinn O'Grady (Minka Kelly). But can their love bloom in a town full of secrets and mysterious cowboys?

Melodrama and cliché abound here, but if you like sprawling Westerns in the vein of Yellowstone, chances are you'll want to stay in Ransom Canyon. — B.E.

Starring: Josh Duhamel, Minka Kelly, Lizzy Greene, James Brolin, and Eoin Macken

How to watch: Ransom Canyon is now streaming on Netflix.

6.  Eephus

If you like your comedy offbeat, you'll find a real winner in Eephus.

Set in a small Massachusetts town in the '90s, this sports comedy focuses on the last game played on a ratty old field before construction crews come to turn it into a new school. This means the middle-aged men facing off have one last chance to revel in the game. It does not mean they'll do it with grace. Their shenanigans are full of cursing, relatable irritation, and slyly hilarious highs and lows. Basically, if you like a dad movie with a little bit of spice, Eephus has got that pepper. — K.P.

Starring: Keith William Richards, Frederick Wiseman, Cliff Blake, Ray Hryb, and Bill "Spaceman" Lee

How to watch: Eephus is now available for rent or purchase on Prime Video.

5. ​​Government Cheese

Craving something intriguing? Check out the premiere of Government Cheese.

In this surreal dramedy from creators Paul Hunter and Aeysha Carr, David Oyelowo stars as Hampton Chambers, a burglar-turned-inventor who's fresh out of prison and eager to make a fortune with his self-sharpening power drill, the "Bit Magician." Now if only he can get his family, friends, or any backers to understand his vision.

Set in 1969 Los Angeles, Government Cheese explores a pivotal moment in U.S. history through the distorted lens of the American Dream. In the mix of this curious series are Hampton's no-nonsense wife, quirky cohorts, violent gangsters, and moments of divine intervention. Where's it going to go? The only way to know is to watch. — K.P.

Starring: David Oyelowo, Simone Missick, Bokeem Woodbine, Adam Beach, and Sunita Mani

How to watch: Government Cheese premiered on Apple TV+ on April 16, with new episodes weekly.

4. I Am Love

Luca Guadagnino has awed critics with his passionate and even feral tales of love in films like Call My By Your Name, Queer, and Bones and All. This treasure from 2009 is less wild and more rapturous.

In picturesque Italian setting, I Am Love stars Tilda Swinton as a devoted wife and mother whose life is thrown into a thrilling spin once she meets a talented (and hot) young chef. For much of her adult life, Emma (Swinton) has absorbed the culture of Milan to be the appropriate wife to her rich Italian husband. But as the power dynamics of the industrial family changes, she finds a taste for something sublime and scandalous. Their love affair is gorgeously captured and bolstered by meals that look so delicious that you'll be left drooling. — K.P.

Starring: Tilda Swinton, Flavio Parenti, Edoardo Gabbriellini, Alba Rohrwacher, Pippo Delbono, Maria Paiato, Diane Fleri, Waris Ahluwalia, Marisa Berenson, and Gabriele Ferzetti

How to watch: I am Love is available for rent or purchase on Prime Video.

3. The Order

Want a harrowing tale of true crime? Australian director Justin Kurzel, who previously helmed such heralded base-on-real-events dramas as Snowtown and True History of the Kelly Gang, turns his eye to the United State's darker corners for The Order.

Adapted from the non-fiction book The Silent Brotherhood: The Chilling Inside Story of America's Violent, Anti-Government Militia Movement by Gary Gerhardt and Kevin Flynn, this film follows an FBI agent (Jude Law) who is investigating a domestic terrorist group run by a devoted white supremacist (Nicholas Hoult). The result is a gripping drama, rich with tense sequences, shocking revelations, and riveting performances. And more than that, it's a satisfying action movie.

As Siddhant Adlakha wrote in his review out of the Venice International Film Festival last year, "That it's an action movie in the body of something more 'prestigious' or important ought to feel insulting, but really, it's been the key to Kurzel's necessary transformation all along." — K.P.

Starring: Jude Law, Nicholas Hoult, Tye Sheridan, Jurnee Smollett, Alison Oliver, and Marc Maron

How to watch: The Order begins streaming on Hulu April 18.

2. The Room Next Door

Seeking a place to feel your pain? Try The Room Next Door. Visionary writer/director Pedro Almodóvar makes his English-language feature debut with this drama, based on Sigrid Nunez's 2020 novel What Are You Going Through. Tilda Swinton and Julianne Moore star as war reporter Martha and novelist Ingrid, two friends who've lost touch over the years but reconnect as Martha grapples grappling with a terminal diagnosis. Together, they rehash the past and look to a future that for Martha means death, either by slow deterioration or — if she has her way — euthanasia. So she asks Ingrid to be her companion in her final days, renting a charming but remote cabin for them to talk, read, sunbathe, and eat in.

A sad tale is given glorious depth through Almodóvar's direction and the nuanced performances of his magnificent leading ladies. It's a gorgeous and moving film that invites audiences in with an intimate understanding of grief, love, and friendship. In my review out of the film's premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival, I cheered, "The Room Next Door quietly urges its audience to embrace the now, for it is all that's certain beyond an end." — K.P.

Starring: Tilda Swinton, Julianne Moore, John Turturro, and Alessandro Nivola

How to watch: The Room Next Door begins streaming on Netflix on April 19.

1. Companion

Want some twisted, genre-bending fun? Then you'll fall hard for Companion. Written and directed by Drew Hancock, this tale of bad romance begins with a seemingly picture-perfect couple, Iris (Yellowjackets and Heretic's Sophie Thatcher) and Josh (Star Trek: Lower Decks and Novocaine's Jack Quaid). But the harrowing truth of their relationship is unearthed during a weekend getaway at a remote mountain cabin. There, a misread signal leads to bloodshed, and before long all hell breaks loose.

SEE ALSO: 'Companion' review: Love hurts in this savage and silly thriller

The trailers for the film gleefully gave away how romantic comedy tropes like meet-cutes collide with slasher thrills and sci-fi shenanigans. But even if you know what's really going on between Josh and Iris before going in, it's still fun to see where Hancock's wild story goes next. And hey, keep an ear out for a '90s pop classic that's a clever Easter egg. — K.P.

Starring: Sophie Thatcher, Jack Quaid, Lukas Gage, Megan Suri, Harvey Guillén, and Rupert Friend

How to watch: Companion begins streaming on Max on April 18.

The NYT's latest daily word game has launched in association with The Athletic, the New York Times property that provides the publication's sports coverage. Connections can be played on both web browsers and mobile devices and require players to group four words that share something in common.

This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed.

Each puzzle features 16 words and each grouping of words is split into four categories. These sets could comprise of anything from book titles, software, country names, etc. Even though multiple words will seem like they fit together, there's only one correct answer.

If a player gets all four words in a set correct, those words are removed from the board. Guess wrong and it counts as a mistake—players get up to four mistakes until the game ends.

This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed.

Players can also rearrange and shuffle the board to make spotting connections easier. Additionally, each group is color-coded with yellow being the easiest, followed by green, blue, and purple. Like Wordle, you can share the results with your friends on social media.

If you like playing daily word games like Wordle, then Hurdle is a great game to add to your routine.

There are five rounds to the game. The first round sees you trying to guess the word, with correct, misplaced, and incorrect letters shown in each guess. If you guess the correct answer, it'll take you to the next hurdle, providing the answer to the last hurdle as your first guess. This can give you several clues or none, depending on the words. For the final hurdle, every correct answer from previous hurdles is shown, with correct and misplaced letters clearly shown.

An important note is that the number of times a letter is highlighted from previous guesses does necessarily indicate the number of times that letter appears in the final hurdle.

If you find yourself stuck at any step of today's Hurdle, don't worry! We have you covered.

If you haven't seen The Brutalist yet, you can now watch all three-and-a-half hours of it at home from your couch — where you have the ability to pause and return to it as you see fit. Mashable's reviewer Siddhant Adlakha called it a "modern American masterpiece," and we named it one of the best films of 2024.

Set in the aftermath of World War II, director Brady Corbet crafts a deeply moving film about immigrants, architecture, and Jewish identity. It stars Adrien Brody — who nabbed not only the Golden Globe, but also the Academy Award for his role as László Tóth — as well as Felicity Jones, Guy Pearce, and Raffey Cassidy. It was one of the most nominated films at the 2025 Academy Awards, and managed to take home three, including Best Cinematography, Best Original Score, and Best Lead Actor.

You can watch it for yourself at home now that it's officially available at digital-on-demand retailers and will soon make its streaming debut. Here's everything you need to know.

What is The Brutalist about?

Clocking in at three-and-a-half hours long, The Brutalist tells the tale of László Tóth (Brody), a fictitious Jewish Hungarian architect and survivor of the Holocaust, over several decades as he arrives in America post-World War II. "It embodies the kind of American epics no longer really made by Hollywood studios. All the while, the film also explores the fraught corners of post-World War II Jewish identity in the West," Adlakha writes.

Check out the official trailer:

Is The Brutalist worth watching?

The Brutalist clocked in at No. 17 on our list of the best films of 2024. It was also one of the most prominently featured films this awards season. It nabbed the Golden Globe for Best Motion Picture – Drama, Best Actor in a Motion Picture – Drama for Brody, and Best Director for Corbet. Additionally, it earned 10 Oscars nominations, including Best Picture, Best Director, Lead Actor, Supporting Actor, and Supporting Actress. While it was a favorite to take home the biggest award of the night, it ended up losing out to Anora. Still, it took home the prize in Best Lead Actor, Best Cinematography, and Best Original Score.

Currently, the A24 film has a 93 percent critic rating and an 80 percent audience rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Mashable's own reviewer writes, "The Brutalist is a towering paean to the American dream, in all its force and folly. Set over several decades, Brady Corbet's post-World War II immigrant saga is — like the architectural achievements of its protagonist — constructed with meticulous consideration, resulting in a work of multifaceted technique and piercing humanity."

How to watch The Brutalist at home Credit: A24

There are multiple ways to watch The Brutalist at home: purchasing it via digital video-on-demand, renting it through digital video-on-demand, and of course, streaming. The cheapest option is renting, but it's also the most limiting.

Buy or rent The Brutalist on digital

The Brutalist made its digital debut just shy of two months after its theatrical release. You can purchase the film for your digital collection as of Feb. 18 at online retailers like Prime Video and Apple TV. It's also available to rent at the same digital retailers for 30 days. Just note that once you start watching, you'll only have 48 hours to finish — and it's a 3.5-hour movie.

Thanks to a multi-year output deal between A24 and Warner Bros. Discovery, we knew that The Brutalist would eventually make its streaming debut on Max alongside other recent A24 hits like Babygirl and Queer. The usual window between a digital and streaming release for A24 is about around two-and-a-half months, so we originally thought it would start streaming at the end of April. A24, instead, decided to make us wait a little longer. The Brutalist is finally set to make its streaming debut on Max on May 16.

Max subscriptions start at $9.99 per month, but there are a few ways to save money on your plan. We've rounded up the best Max streaming deals for you below.

The best Max streaming dealsBest for most people: Save 33% on Max with ads annual subscription Opens in a new window Credit: Max Max (with ads) yearly subscription $79.99 per year (save 33%) through May 7 Get Deal

While a Max with ads subscription goes for $9.99 per month, you can knock that price down to just $8.33 per month by signing up for a year in advance. Yes, you'll have to pay $99.99 upfront, but the breakdown monthly ends up saving you 16%.

Better yet, if you sign up before May 7, you'll be able to slash that price even further as annual subscriptions are 20% off their usual cost. That drops the annual plan with ads down to only $79.99 per year or $6.67 broken down monthly. After your initial discounted year is up, the price will revert back to the typical annual plan fee, which is still a very good price.

Best Max deal with no ads: Save up to 32% on a Max Ad-Free annual subscription Opens in a new window Credit: Max Max (No Ads) annual subscription $169.99 per year (save 16%) Get Deal

Similarly, for those who hate ads, you can also save up to 32% through May 7 by committing to a yearly plan of the Max ad-free tiers. You have two tiers to choose from: Max Ad-Free and Max Ultimate Ad-Free. The basic ad-free tier costs either $16.99 per month or $139.99 per year (about $11.67 per month) for a limited time, while the Ultimate tier costs either $20.99 per month or $169.99 per year (about $14.17 per month) for a limited time. The price drop is only valid for your first year of streaming and will revert back to full cost — $169.99 or $209.99 per year — thereafter.

Note: Both tiers offer an ad-free viewing experience, but the Ultimate tier comes with 4K Ultra HD video quality and Dolby Atmos immersive audio.

Best Max deal for Cricket customers: Free Max with ads for customers on the $60/month unlimited plan Opens in a new window Credit: Cricket / Max Max (with ads) Free for Cricket customers on the $60/month plan Get Deal

Cricket customers on the $60 per month unlimited plan get a free Max with ads subscription — no questions asked. That's a $99.99 per year value for zero dollars. If you're already on the $60 per month unlimited plan, just head over to the Max app, choose Cricket as your provider, then enter your Cricket credentials to log in. Boom — you're free to watch whatever you want, whenever you want — including The Brutalist upon its release. Check out the terms and conditions on Cricket's website to learn more.

Best Max deal for DoorDash users: Free Max with ads with DashPass annual plan Opens in a new window Credit: DoorDash / Max Max with ads Free with DashPass annual plan ($8/month) Get Deal

Another way you can get Max for free in 2025 is through DoorDash's annual DashPass plan. A yearly DashPass membership costs $96 per year ($8 per month) and gets you $0 delivery fees and reduced service fees on eligible orders, as well as a Max subscription with ads. You'll just have to activate your Max subscription through your DoorDash account. Then, once you're in, you're in as long as your annual DashPass plan is valid.

Best Max deal for students: Save 50% on Max with ads Opens in a new window Credit: Max Max Student $4.99 per month for 12 months Get Deal

College students can get an entire year of Max with ads for just $4.99 per month instead of $9.99. That's 50% in savings. All you have to do is verify your student status with UNiDAYS to retrieve the unique discount code that will drop the price.

Best bundle deal: Get Max, Disney+, and Hulu for up to 38% off Opens in a new window Credit: Disney / Hulu / Max Disney+, Hulu, and Max $16.99 per month (with ads), $29.99 per month (no ads) Get Deal

While it won't be the cheapest way to get Max, you can get more bang for your buck if you choose a streaming bundle deal instead of a single service. For only $16.99 per month (reg. $25.97), you can sign up for Max, Hulu, and Disney+ with ads or $29.99 per month (reg. $48.97) without ads. That's up to 38% in savings for access to three full streaming libraries.

Airplane Wi-Fi tends to be overly expensive, and if you're taking transatlantic flights, you know that making hours-long trips with no internet connection at all is a special kind of punishment. Now, it might be about to get a little more bearable. If you're flying American Airlines, at least.

Incognito mode isn’t as private as you might assume. While it prevents your browser from saving your history and cookies, that’s only a tiny part of the tracking it blocks. You're still vulnerable to numerous privacy and security risks. Here are some common threats you should watch out for.

Perhaps more than any other medium, video games are constantly being delayed or abruptly canceled. It’s heartbreaking to see a highly anticipated game miss its original release date, but the development hell that unfolds behind the scenes is even worse.
