BIRDS OF PREY
You ever hear the one about the cop, the songbird, the psycho and the mafia princess? “Birds of Prey (And The Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn)” is a twisted tale told by Harley herself, as only Harley can tell it. When Gotham’s most nefariously narcissistic villain, Roman Sionis, and his zealous right-hand, Zsasz, put a target on a young girl named Cass, the city is turned upside down looking for her. Harley, Huntress, Black Canary and Renee Montoya’s paths collide, and the unlikely foursome has no choice but to team up to take Roman down.

TIMMY FAILURE: MISTAKES WERE MADE
Based on the best-selling book by Stephan Pastis, the Disney+ original movie “Timmy Failure: Mistakes Were Made” follows the hilarious exploits of Timmy Failure (Winslow Fegley), a quirky, deadpan 5th grader from Portland who, along with a 1,500-pound polar bear named Total, operates Total Failure Inc., a detective agency. Somewhat of an outsider at his elementary school, Timmy is clueless but confident and wants to see his detective agency become the best in the world. But first he must navigate the world of adults around him, including his overburdened mother Patty (Ophelia Lovibond), her well-meaning boyfriend Crispin, his teacher and nemesis Mr. Crocus, and Mr. Jenkins (Craig Robinson), a school-mandated guidance counselor, and figure out what it means to be normal when you know deep down inside you’re different.
