‘Don’t Worry Darling’
Don’t Worry Darling offers an updated, slightly darker version Stepford Wives that we didn’t even know we needed. Florence Pugh plays Alice, a housewife who begins to ask unwanted questions when she notices some strange occurrences in her picturesque 1950s neighborhood. Though her husband, Jack (Harry Styles), urges her to stop pushing the boundary and to fall back in line, Alice’s suspicions get the best of her – and unveil something even more sinister than she ever expected.

‘The Boss Baby’
In The Boss Baby, Alec Baldwin lends his best Jack Donaghy voice to a diaper-wearing businessman. After Boss Baby arrives to his new family’s home with a suit and briefcase (according to his older brother, Tim) an instant sibling rivalry ensues between the two siblings. But the pair must come to terms to thwart an evil corporate plan.
Though it was critically panned, The Boss Baby earned Baldwin an Oscar nomination for best animated feature in 2018 – much to everyone’s disappointment.
