MAMAMIA PODCASTS
About this episode

It’s Weekend Watch time! This week, we’ve got three very different picks for you to stream.First, Lena Dunham is back with a new series, Too Much, that delves into the complexities of modern romance. Set against the backdrop of London, it offers a fresh take on love and self-discovery, marking a significant return for Dunham since her previous work on Girls.

Or you could dive into a gripping thriller where a young genius finds himself in a mysterious facility alongside other children with special abilities. This adaptation promises suspense and intrigue, staying true to King's signature storytelling.

And finally, some of us weren't expecting to enjoy the new Superman movie… but James Gunn may have pulled off the impossible. It's fresh, earnest, anmd we break down what works, what doesn't and why it’s just what the franchise needed.
