‘At home with the Furys’ and a dog movie for adults – what to watch this week

Monday, August 14

Only Murders in the Building, Disney+

Technically, season 3 landed on Disney+ last week but as there was no entertainment round-up, I felt compelled to include it here so you don’t miss out! This time, Charles, Oliver and Mabel investigate a murder behind the scenes at a Broadway show. Steve Martin, Martin Short,  Selena Gomez, Paul Rudd and Meryl Streep star.

Strange Planet, Apple TV+

Another one that came out last week, Strange Planet is based on the New York Times bestselling graphic novel and social media phenomenon of the same name. A 10-episode animated series for adults, it’s a hilarious and perceptive look at a distant world not unlike our own. Set in a whimsical world of cotton candy pinks and purples, relatable blue beings explore the absurdity of everyday human traditions… which seems apt given the recent whisperings of  ‘non-human’ bodies and activities.

Strays, in cinemas nationwide 

Brought to you by the creative team behind R-rated comedies like Ted and Sausage Party, Strays is a child-like movie (it’s about talking dogs) for adults (there is some very choice language throughout). Will Ferrell voices Reggie, a naïve, relentlessly optimistic Border Terrier, who is abandoned on the mean city streets by his lowlife owner, Doug (Will Forte)… if the trailer is anything to go by, this will have you laughing the whole way through.

Serial Killer Capital: Baton Rouge, Sky Crime 

From 1994-2004, more than 36 women are brutally murdered in the city of Baton Rouge in Louisiana. Investigators struggled for more than a decade until evidence finally led them to a terrifying conclusion – there were different murderers stalking Baton Rouge at the same time.
