With the presidential election cycle revving up, CNN's Have I Got News for You debuts just in time, mixing a great blend of comedy, satire and political observations in a news quiz show.

The Daily Show's Roy Wood Jr., Late Night with Seth Meyers'Amber Ruffin and actor Michael Ian Black (Spinning Gold) are all on hand for the series.

As we enter into the fall season, that means a number of baking competitions are on the way. However, before we get to the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays, many are looking forward to the treat of Halloween, and Halloween Baking Championship season 10 comes just in time to bring about a number of terrifyingly good treats to viewers' screens. If you're someone who is always looking for new ways to utilize fall flavors, the series should provide some entertaining research. 

The Penguin

  • Colin Farrell's The Penguin premieres on September 19

Colin Farrell is a phenomenal actor, having recently starred in Sugar, The Banshees of Inisherin and Thirteen Lives. Yet the role that sees him go through the most transformation may be his performance as The Penguin in The Batman. For those who enjoyed Farrell in the movie, then you'll want to tune in for The Penguin limited series. Is there a chance his performance will surpass that of our favorite onscreen Penguin, Danny DeVito?

I Saw the TV Glow (2024)

  • The A24 horror movie streams on Max on September 20

The relationship between A24 and Max has been a fruitful one, and this week the streamer debuts I Saw the TV Glow. The movie follows two teens as they watch a mysterious late-night TV show that takes them into a bizarre supernatural world. The more they're exposed to the TV's "glow," the more the view of what's real starts to crack. We think it's worth checking out if you haven't seen the film Rotten Tomatoes has "certified fresh."
