## 7. *Kinda Pregnant*
Amy Schumer makes her return with her trademark bold comedy in *Kinda Pregnant*, a romantic comedy that satirizes the pressures of impending motherhood. Schumer portrays Lainy Newton, a middle-aged elementary school teacher who’s searching for “the one.” In the meantime, her best friend (Jillian Bell) is joyfully married and expecting, as is an irritating Gen Z influencer (Lizzie Broadway). Feeling excluded, Lainy begins **pretending** to be expecting to receive compliments and affection.
However, things get complicated when she encounters a charming Zamboni driver (Will Forte) and his hip sister (Brianne Howey)—while still sporting a fake baby bump. A blend of romance, envy, and awkward humor, *Kinda Pregnant* offers some laughs but doesn’t always succeed. While a few jokes may seem tired, the love story keeps it engaging. It’s not an essential watch, but it makes for a fun option for a **laid-back girls’ night or a movie to have on while doing laundry**.
**Starring:** Amy Schumer, Jillian Bell, Lizzie Broadway, Brianne Howey, Urzila Carlson, Will Forte
**Where to watch:** *Kinda Pregnant* launches on **Netflix** on Feb. 6.

## 6. *The Lion King at the Hollywood Bowl*

The concert showcases performances from Jeremy Irons, Nathan Lane, Jason Weaver, Ernie Sabella, Billy Eichner, Jennifer Hudson, among others. Anticipate **breathtaking Broadway costumes, impressive visual projections, and nostalgic musical performances**. Standout moments include Irons’ haunting interpretation of *Be Prepared* and the comedic dynamic between Lane and Sabella as Timon and Pumbaa.
**Starring:** Lebo M, Jeremy Irons, Nathan Lane, Jason Weaver, Ernie Sabella, Billy Eichner, Heather Headley, Bradley Gibson, Jennifer Hudson
**Where to watch:** *The Lion King at the Hollywood Bowl* debuts on **Disney+** on Feb. 7.

## 5. *Apple Cider Vinegar*
Netflix’s newest drama *Apple Cider Vinegar* narrates the **true story** of Australian influencer Belle Gibson (*Booksmart*’s Kaitlyn Dever), who developed a wellness empire by falsely asserting she overcame her brain cancer through diet. Meanwhile, another influencer, Milla Blake (Alycia Debnam-Carey), truly battles cancer and is on a **risky all-natural treatment path**.
The series aims to probe the **dark aspects of social media wellness culture**, but it falls short. While it captivates visually, it **lacks depth** when addressing its intricate themes. As noted by Mashable’s Belen Edwards, *Apple Cider Vinegar* “appropriates the aesthetics of influencer culture but falls short of critiquing it.”
**Starring:** Kaitlyn Dever, Alycia Debnam-Carey, Aisha Dee, Tilda Cobham-Hervey, Mark Coles Smith, Ashley Zukerman
**Where to watch:** *Apple
