What’s going on, movie freaks?!😛Well, I’ll tell you what’s up with me: I saw a couple of movies this past weekend that most people probably don’t associate with each other, beyond the fact that they’re both currently playing in theaters. Interestingly enough, they also both feature (opposite) gendered language in their titles.

I doubt I could find a Better Man (CREDIT: Paramount Pictures)

They keep making new movies, and some of them are even worth watching. Here’s what’s at the top of the slate for January 2025:

Better Man: It’s a biopic about “Millennium” songster Robbie Williams, but here’s the twist: he’s played by a chimpanzee! (Or some sort of chimp-man hybrid, to be more precise.)

You can find Better Man in theaters on January 10.
