Kordell Stewart: Slash & Burn

For those looking for some NFL action outside of game day, Kordell Stewart: Slash & Burn offers a reflective 40-minute profile on a player whose life was undone off the green. Co-produced by NFL Films and Skydance Sports, the documentary examines the life and football legacy of former Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Kordell Stewart. Nicknamed “Slash” for his versatility as a passer, runner, and receiver, Stewart led Pittsburgh to multiple AFC Championship Game appearances and earned a Pro Bowl selection in 2001. However, the film moves past on-field highlights to dissect the devastating personal and professional toll of an unsubstantiated, malicious rumor in the late 1990s that derailed his public standing and clouded his Hall of Fame credentials. Through personal interviews, Stewart directly addresses the decades-long push to reclaim his name and narrative.Related: NFL Announces First-Ever Netflix Halftime Show News Featuring Rock Legends U2
Scream (1996)
Neve Campbell in ‘Scream’Dimension Films
Landing on HBO Max the day after Halloween, Wes Craven’s 1996 horror classic Scream arrives just in time to close out the weekend. Written by Kevin Williamson, the film famously revitalized the slasher genre by satirizing horror movie conventions while delivering genuine suspense. The story follows high school student Sidney Prescott (Neve Campbell), who becomes the primary target of a cloaked, masked serial killer dubbed Ghostface, one year after her mother’s brutal murder in the quiet town of Woodsboro, California. Alongside Campbell, the ensemble cast includes Courteney Cox as tabloid reporter Gale Weathers, David Arquette as Deputy Dewey Riley, Matthew Lillard and Jamie Kennedy. Whether rewatching for seasonal fun or introducing newcomers to Ghostface’s origins, Scream remains an essential American horror benchmark, even 30 years after its debut.
