Debuts: Alien, Awkwafina, Carl Hiassen, and Bob Newhart

We’re returning to space this weekend with the latest film in the “Aliens” franchise. “Alien: Romulus” is the 7th “Alien” film since 1979. It’s unconnected to the other films and stars a brand-new cast.

Jason Nathanson will tell you if it’s worth your money. On streaming, the comedy “Jackpot” stars John Cena and Awkwafina, directed by Paul Feig, of “Bridesmaids” fame.

Bad monkeyVince Vaughn stars in the new comedy “Bad Monkey,” from “Scrubs” and “Ted Lasso” showrunner Bill Lawrence, based on the Carl Hiaasen book.

Also, Thursday was the memorial service for legendary comedian Bob Newhart. Jason was one of the invited guests, and he’ll tell you if there were any good stories.
