Ghost Elephants
★ Tonight's Top Pick

Ghost Elephants

8:00 PM | National Geographic |131 min
Editor's Pick

Any nature documentary directed by Werner Herzog is never just about the animals. This film follows a team of explorers searching for Africa's most elusive elephants, but through Herzog's inimitable narration, it becomes a philosophical quest. Expect a haunting meditation on obsession, the sublime power of the natural world, and the ghosts left behind in a vanishing landscape.

Cast: Werner Herzog, Steve Boyes

Pink Floyd: P. U. L. S. E. Live at Earls Court

Sky Arts ·180 min

Before the night's dramas begin, immerse yourself in one of the most ambitious concert films ever made. Director David Mallet doesn't just document Pink Floyd's final 'Division Bell' tour; he captures the colossal, multi-sensory spectacle of the show itself. It's a definitive record of a band that weaponized light, sound, and scale, turning a rock concert into pure theater.

Louis Theroux: Shooting Joe Exotic
6:00 PM Show

Louis Theroux: Shooting Joe Exotic

U&W ·115 min

Years before 'Tiger King' became a lockdown phenomenon, Louis Theroux was already deep in Joe Exotic's world. This film is his fascinating return, re-examining his original footage and interviews with the benefit of hindsight. It's a masterful and often unsettling reflection on the story he helped uncover, offering a perspective far more nuanced than the Netflix circus that followed.

The Phone of the Wind: Whispers to Lost Families

NHK World TV ·50 min

In a garden in northeastern Japan sits a disconnected phone booth, a conduit for those who lost family in the 2011 tsunami. This premiere documentary quietly observes the intimate, one-way conversations people have with their departed loved ones. It’s an exceptionally moving and profoundly beautiful meditation on memory, grief, and the enduring human need to connect, even across the impossible.

Running Across Recovering Sanriku

Running Across Recovering Sanriku

NHK World Europe ·50 min

This new documentary offers a portrait of resilience in the same region devastated by the 2011 tsunami. Following a group of runners preparing for a coastal race, the film explores the slow, determined recovery of the Sanriku area. It’s a story of a community rebuilding not just its infrastructure, but its spirit, framed by the hopeful metaphor of a marathon.

Mister Rogers: It's You I Like

PBS ·90 min ·Also streaming on PBS App

In a world of noise, the radical quiet of Fred Rogers feels more vital than ever.

Chris Fleming: Live at the Palace

HBO Comedy ·79 min ·TV-MA

End your Saturday with something brilliantly and unapologetically strange. Internet comedy phenomenon Chris Fleming brings his singular, delightfully unhinged worldview to his first HBO special.

Bride of Frankenstein

HBO Movies ·75 min ·1935

This isn't just a sequel; it's the moment the Universal monster movies became transcendent art. James Whale's 1935 masterpiece injects the horror with high camp, dark wit, and genuine pathos, anchored by Elsa Lanchester's iconic, lightning-charged performance. In just a few minutes of screen time, she created a legend, cementing the film as a cornerstone of cinematic history.

Kiss of the Spider Woman
8:00 PM Movie

Kiss of the Spider Woman

Crave1 ·135 min ·R

Following his triumphs with 'Chicago' and 'Dreamgirls,' director Bill Condon adapts the celebrated, complex story of two prisoners finding common ground through escapist fantasy. Jennifer Lopez and Diego Luna star in a musical that embraces its dark, adult themes, contrasting the grim reality of a South American prison with the glamour of golden-age Hollywood. It's a bold cinematic swing.

Tombstone
8:00 PM Movie

Tombstone

INSP ·180 min ·R

This isn't just a great western, it's a pop culture landmark powered by swagger and iconic dialogue. While Kurt Russell's Wyatt Earp provides the stoic center, the film is utterly stolen by Val Kilmer's definitive performance as the dandyish, deadly Doc Holliday. Stylish, endlessly rewatchable, and quoted to this day, it's a modern classic of the genre.

Mean Girls (2024)

The Broadway musical smash, based on the 2004 comedy classic, gets a vibrant movie-musical adaptation for the TikTok generation. Reneé Rapp commands the screen, reprising her stage role as the fearsome Regina George with spectacular vocal firepower.
