The Last Dance’, Cristin Milioti, ‘What We Do in the Shadows’ Top EW’s Must-See List

In many ways, nothing compares to seeing director Jamie Lloyd’s magic electric reimagining a Sunset Blvd in person. (I was lucky enough to see it in previews a few weeks ago, and three mid-show standing ovations later, I was fully converted to a fan of the Andrew Lloyd Webber classic, which I had previously found dated.) But if I can’t get to the Theater of St. James, you’re in luck: the live album just dropped at midnight… and I’ve already listened to Nicole Scherzinger’s “With One Look” about 37 times. —Patrick Gomez, Editor-in-Chief

The final chapter of Sony’s insane Marvel-adjacent trilogy comes together Tom Hardy with his alien symbiote BFF to crack jokes while on the run from the US government and an ancient evil bent on destroying the universe. Even with Venom horsedance numbers and plenty of jaw-dropping action, it doesn’t always deliver its attention, but it’s still the most entertaining — and, yes, honest — of the uneven series. This may be Eddie and Venom’s last ride, but stick around for a post-credits tease of where the story could go from here. — Mike Miller, Executive Editor

“What we do in the shadows”

The revelation of the most sacred rituals of Catholicism, the tense thriller of director Edward Berger focuses on a Vatican conspiracy during the papal election. The adaptation of Robert Harris’ 2016 novel features award-worthy roles from an all-star cast including Ralph Fiennes and Stanley Tucci. — MM

The royalty of the Aussie punk scene returns with their third album full of sass, moxie, attitude and aggression. Amy Taylor remains one of the most electrifying frontwomen in music, belting out anthems in her self-proclaimed ‘Tiny Bikini’. See you in the mosh pit. —Dalton Ross, Editorial Director
