What's New on TV, Netflix Streaming, Digital, and DVD/Blu-ray This Week: November 24 - 30

At a loss for what to watch this week? From new DVDs and Blu-rays, to what's streaming on Netflix, we've got you covered.



New on DVD and Blu-ray



"What If"

This charming indie rom-com stars Daniel Radcliffe as Wallace and Zoe Kazan as Chantry, two platonic friends who maybe, kinda sorta want to be more than friends. At least Wallace does; Chantry is in a long-term relationship, and Wallace has convinced himself being "just friends" is better than not having Chantry in his life at all. Adam Driver and Mackenzie Davis co-star as Wallace's best friend and his new girl; together, their newfound lust (or it is love?) is hilarious and unstoppable.



"The Long Goodbye"/"Thieves Like Us"

Don't overlook these classic '70s films by Robert Altman. "The Long Goodbye" stars Elliot Gould as Philip Marlowe in an updated version of Raymond Chandler's novel, alongside Nina Van Pallandt, Sterling Hayden, Mark Rydell, and Henry Gibson. "Thieves Like Us" is a rougher Depression-era robbery drama, starring Keith Carradine, Shelley Duvall, and Tom Skerritt.



"Nymphomaniac Extended Director's Cut Blu-ray: Volume I and Volume II"

Nothing says Thanksgiving more than almost six hours of Lars von Trier's sexually graphic film starring Charlotte Gainsbourg as a self-proclaimed nymphomaniac. "Nymphomaniac" co-stars Stellan Skarsgård, Shia LaBeouf (sans paper bag), Christian Slater, and a whole host of other folks. This is the extended director's cut.



TV Worth Watching



A bunch of the best shows on TV had their winter finales last week, so there's not a whole lot of new stuff on. However, there are a ton of TV marathons!



"Adventure Time" Marathon (Cartoon Network, Thursday, beginning at 9 AM)

If you haven't seen this awesomely weird animated series about a boy named Finn and his best friend Jake, his canine brother who can grow or shrink whenever he wants, well, you're missing out on some colorful craziness. And if you have seen it, well, here's your chance to hang out with Finn, Jake, Princess Bubblegum, Marceline the Vampire Queen, and all the rest of the "Adventure Time" characters you know and love.



"Portlandia" Marathon (IFC, Thursday, beginning at 9 AM)

The dream of the '90s is alive and well in this sketch comedy starring Fred Armisen and Carrie Brownstein of Sleater-Kinney. Guest stars in this quirky comedy include Kyle MacLachlan, Jeff Goldblum, Chloë Sevigny, Ed Begley Jr., and Aubrey Plaza, just to name a few.



"Jurassic Park" Movie Marathon (AMC, Friday, beginning at 10 AM and 6 PM)

Have the teasers for "Jurassic World" made you yearn for the original "Jurassic" series? Travel back in time for this Tyrannosaurus-tastic trilogy.



New on Netflix



"Happy Christmas"

This indie stars Anna Kendrick as Jenny, a dysfunctional twentysomething who moves in with her older brother Jeff (writer/director Joe Swanberg) and his wife Kelly (Melanie Lynskey) and causes quite a mess. Lena Dunham co-stars as Jenny's BFF, alongside Mark Webber as a love interest slash pot dealer slash baby-sitter.



"Ida"

This black-and-white Polish film is back on Netflix Instant, and it's well worth your time. Anna, who was raised as an orphan, is all set to join a convent when she finds out she has an aunt, and this aunt has quite a few startling revelations about Anna's family.



"Lilyhammer"

The third season of this Netflix original is now available to stream. Steven Van Zandt as a G-man out of water who heads to Norway under the Federal Witness Protection Program.



New Video on Demand, Rental Streaming, and Digital Only



"Calvary" (iTunes)

This intense drama stars Brendan Gleeson as an Irish priest who joined the clergy after the death of his wife. After he's threatened by a parishioner during confession, he has to figure out who is out to hurt him and how to convince him not to. Plus, his daughter Fiona (Kelly Reilly) is visiting, which brings up all sorts of other problems. Chris O'Dowd, Domhnall Gleeson, Dylan Moran, and Aidan Gillen co-star.



"Pulp: A Film About Life, Death and Supermarkets" (iTunes)

This doc focuses on the famous Brit pop band's 2012 reunion tour, which ends in their return to hometown of Sheffield, UK. Yeah, there's music, and of course there's plenty of dreamy Jarvis Cocker, but there's also quite a bit about Sheffield itself. But also, Jarvis Cocker!



"What If" (iTunes)

Hey, "What If" is also on iTunes! If you hate physical media, buy it on iTunes.
