What To Watch This Week 24.11.25

Chris Hemsworth: A Road Trip to Remember, Disney+

In Limitless, Chris Hemsworth pushed his body to extremes for Disney+, but this new documentary turns inward. A Road Trip to Remember follows Chris and his father, Craig, as they embark on a deeply personal journey after Craig’s Alzheimer’s diagnosis. What begins as a simple drive quickly becomes an emotional excavation of memory, identity and the fragile ties between parents and children. As they revisit childhood haunts and long-forgotten landmarks, the film captures the heartbreak of watching someone you love fade – but also the grace found in connection, humour and shared history.

The Beatles Anthology, Disney+

Peter Jackson returns to the Fab Four with another ambitious restoration project – this time revisiting 1995’s The Beatles Anthology, the eight-part series that traced the band’s entire history through interviews, home footage and rare archive material. Using cutting-edge colourisation, audio remastering and subtle re-edits, Jackson transforms the original documentary into something richer, cleaner and ready for a new generation. A brand-new ninth episode adds extra emotional heft, featuring Paul, George and Ringo reflecting on the memories resurfaced during the original production.

Prehistoric Planet: Ice Age, Apple TV 

Apple TV+ returns to its visually jaw-dropping natural history series with Prehistoric Planet: Ice Age, once again narrated by Tom Hiddleston. This time, the focus shifts to the last great freeze – a world teeming with woolly mammoths, enormous sea cows and other long-lost species rendered in astonishingly lifelike CGI. As ever, the series blends cinematic spectacle with accessible science, offering a guided tour through survival strategies, shifting climates and the surprising biodiversity of the era. While the educational detail remains digestible even for younger viewers, the real magic lies in the visuals: sweeping glacier vistas, tense predator-prey stand-offs and creature design so realistic you’ll swear you’re watching true wildlife footage.

Richard Linklater (Boyhood, Before Sunrise) reunites with long-time collaborator Ethan Hawke (Before Sunset, Training Day) for a witty, melancholic portrait of a man watching his world change. Set over a single night in 1943, Blue Moon follows legendary lyricist Lorenz Hart (Hawke) as he drowns his sorrows in a Manhattan bar while his former partner Richard Rodgers (Andrew Scott, All Of Us Strangers) celebrates the opening of Oklahoma! with new collaborator Oscar Hammerstein II.

Pillion, Cinemas Nationwide

Somewhat of a cross between Fifty Shades Of Grey and Call Me By Your Name, Pillion marks an assured and provocative debut from British writer-director Harry Lighton. Adapted from Adam Mars-Jones’s 2020 novel Box Hill, the film follows a shy young man, Colin (Harry Melling, The Queen’s Gambit), whose quiet life is upended when he meets Ray (Alexander Skarsgård, Big Little Lies), a charismatic biker who introduces him to a world of erotic freedom, power and control. What begins as a charged BDSM relationship evolves into something far more complex – a tender yet unsettling study of love, submission and identity. Premiering in the Un Certain Regard section at Cannes, Pillion drew acclaim for its fearless storytelling, striking cinematography and unflinching performances from its two leads.
