You Need to Check Out 'Brigsby Bear,' 'Atomic Blonde,' and More This Weekend

Looking for some stuff to catch up on this weekend? Whether it's TV, movies, books, or anything in between—VICE has you covered. Read on for our staff recommendations on what to take in during your downtime:

The less you know about Brigsby Bear, the better. That's not an insult: Even if you think you have the whole story of this weird and weirdly touching comedy starring Saturday Night Live digital short maven Kyle Mooney, you absolutely don't. There's a twist about ten minutes into the film that I won't spoil, but setting that aside, if you've ever watched VHS tapes of old children's television and had dreams of making your own show, you'll definitely find something to relate to here. Read my interview with Kyle Mooney here. —Larry Fitzmaurice, Senior Culture Editor

You liked John Wick, right? (If you didn't: What the fuck is wrong with you?) Well, this Charlize Theron–starring actioner was directed by the guy who also did John Wick, David Leitch. He's also directing the Deadpool sequel, which should give you a good idea of the vibe here. And what is that vibe? Funny, drenched in neon, so 80s-referential that it might as well be an episode of That '80s Show ('memba them?), and beautifully precise in its fight choreography. Have Charlize beat people up in all the movies, please. —LF

HBO's latest collaboration with Mark and Jay Duplass is Room 104, an anthology series where the only consistent character is a dingy motel room. Each episode follows new characters as they enter the same room, and each tells an entirely new story—sometimes within an entirely new genre. It'll certainly get comparisons to Black Mirror and High Maintenance and while it's not quite there yet, it fills in the gap with its weirdness, The first episode, "Ralphie" is a miniature horror story with a babysitter and a young boy while another, "The Internet," is about a writer trying to explain to his mother how to use the basics of technology back in 1997. Another big drawing point? Even if you don't like an episode, you can wait a week and try a new one. —Pilot Viruet, Associate Culture Editor

They're back! Canada's most anthemic rock band (I know that's up for debate but let's not do this right now) returns today with their fifth album, which carries some conceptual bent regarding the way things are today (as Arcade Fire like to do). If you don't care about all the hullabaloo promoting the record, here's an idea: Just listen to it instead. Maybe you'll like it! Who knows. —LF

Video of the year. Need I say more? —LF
