【Dear Utol (2025): Chick! Episode 47】

Look,Dear Utol (2025): Chick! Episode 47 I know you can be underwhelmed and you can be overwhelmed, but can you ever just be whelmed? Reader, you absolutely can (and not just in Europe) — it's the feeling of not knowing what the hell to watch.

With avalanches of TV shows and movies consistently careening into cinemas and streaming services, and not all of it good, there's a chance you've just about had it with choosing what to spend your hard-earrned money and time on. There's just SO MUCH.

Luckily, Mashable's deeply obsessed, disarmingly tasteful, and superbly dressed entertainment team is constantly reviewing the series and films trying to elbow their way into your eyeballs — we even pick one as our Watch of the Week.

But in case you needslightlymore to choose from, here are three (just three!) things are Actually Good to watch right now.

1. The Platform 2

The sequel to Galder Gaztelu-Urrutia's 2019 film, The Platform 2is now out on Netflix — and it's our Watch of the Week.

It's the same concept as the original: in a multi-level prison, enough food for every prisoner is lowered on a platform from top to bottom through the cells — yes, chaos ensues. Mashable's Sam Haysom writes in his review, "One of the reasons I love The Platformis the way it shows humanity at its best and worst. The script is moving at times, terrifying at others. Gaztelu-Urrutia's direction draws out this hope and horror in the performers, all of whom are raw and believable. Azegiñe Urigoitia's production design is a nightmarish work of art."

2. House of Spoils

If you're hungry for more hospitality-based thrills after The Bear, sink your teeth into House of Spoils. Though be warned if you're expecting a similar serving of Chicago's Italian beef, as Mashable's Belen Edwards writes in her review: "A dark fairy tale with culinary bite, House of Spoils dives into one chef's pursuit of perfection, a theme viewers might most recently associate with The Bear or The Menu. But make no mistake, House of Spoils' similarities to those projects start and end with the fact that they take place in a high-end restaurant."

Written and directed by Bridget Savage Cole and Danielle Krudy, House of Spoils sees West Side Story's Ariana DeBose playing Chef (just Chef), who's recruited to work in a rural eatery run by restaurateur Andreas (Succession's Arian Moayed). But something mysterious is afoot...

3. It's What's Inside

From Talk to Meto Bodies Bodies Bodies, cursed party games have been a thing in horror of late. Greg Jardin's genre-fusing thriller It's What's Insideis one such film, promising a group of college buddies, a pre-wedding party game, and a whole lot of body-swapping that leads to an existential mind-fuck. In his review, Mashable contributor Siddhant Adlakha wrote, "Wielding devilishly enjoyable visual language, it provides winking hints of catharsis that make even its most audacious, galaxy-brained genre swerves feel like a couple's therapy session atop the world's tallest, fastest rollercoaster. It's a frenetic and fascinating film that can't be missed."
