Also among the streaming offerings worth your time, as selected by The Associated Press' entertainment journalists: An adaptation of John Grisham's 'The Rainmaker' hits Peacock , John Cena stars as a flawed superhero in season 2 of 'The Peacemaker' and the Amanda Knox trial in Italy gets dramatized in a Hulu series. — Samara Weaving plays a reformed getaway driver who gets pulled back in to save a problematic ex-boyfriend in 'Eenie Meanie,' a new heist thriller streaming on Hulu on Friday, Aug. 22.

'Deadpool' writers Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick produced the film, which is the directorial debut of writer-director Shawn Simmons. — Remember the strange Jussie Smollett saga that began back in January 2019 when the 'Empire' actor told police that two men assaulted him in an apparent hate crime which investigators began to believe was a hoax? It's the subject of a new Netflix documentary 'The Truth About Jussie Smollett?' streaming on Friday, Aug. 22. The ordeal stretched on for years and in November the Illinois Supreme Court overturned Smollett's conviction on charges of staging a racist and homophobic attack against himself in 2019 and lying to Chicago police. The trailer for the doc, which includes interviews with journalists, lawyers, investigators and law enforcement, teases a new sit-down interview with Smollett himself. — Swedish filmmaker Lasse Hallström takes audiences on a romantic journey through Europe with an American girl (Madelyn Cline) and a New Zealander (KJ Apa) in 'The Map That Leads to You,' streaming on Prime Video on Wednesday. It's based on the 2017 J.P. Monninger novel. — On Friday, Migos rapper Offset will release his third solo album, 'Kiari.' The title is his legal name — a direct reflection of the album he described to The Associated Press earlier this month as 'a look in the mirror.' He said it's a collection of 'different versions of Offset, which comes from Kiari … I'm always trying to rebrand and recreate.' Start with 'Bodies,' a red-hot collaboration that marries Offset's melodic, aggressive flow and the dexterous lyricist JID atop a sample of nu-metal band Drowning Pool's 2001 cut 'Bodies.' It's become a 2025 Billboard Hot 100 hit for a reason. — Who would've thought, nearly 40 years after their formation, that the California shoegaze-y nu-metal band Deftones would become more popular than ever before? They've found new and nostalgic audiences online and have quickly become recognized as one of the most influential bands of the 2000s — 20 years after the fact. On Friday, they will release a new album 'Private Music.' And they sound as tight as ever. — The Amanda Knox trial gets dramatized in a Hulu series called 'The Twisted Tale of Amanda Knox.' Knox is an executive producer on the project, as is Monica Lewinsky. Grace Van Patten stars as the study abroad student in Italy who finds herself in prison for murdering her housemate, Meredith Kercher. The case becomes a media sensation and Knox is called Foxy Knoxy — among other things — by the tabloids. The series also shares more of the story of Raffaele Sollecito, Knox's boyfriend at the time, who was also convicted of the murder. Both had their sentences thrown out by Italy's highest court in 2015. We also see Knox's difficulty adjusting to regular life after she returns to the States. The eight-episode series premieres Wednesday. — John Cena stars as a flawed superhero in Season 2 of 'The Peacemaker' arriving on HBO Max on Thursday.

It debuts Thursday. — An adaptation of John Grisham's 'The Rainmaker' hits Peacock on Friday, Aug. 22. The legal thriller is airing on the USA Network and the streamer drops each episode a week later. Milo Callaghan plays Rudy Baylor, who is fresh out of law school and about to start working at the largest law firm in the state. On his first day, Baylor gets fired so he takes a job at a small ambulance-chasing firm that works out of a former taco joint. Rudy's first big case pits him against the big, fancy law firm that let him go — and his girlfriend who still works there. — You don't see many surfboards in video games — most virtual riders would rather pick up a skateboard or snowboard. The 'hoversword' at the heart of Sword of the Sea pushes back at that bias by combining all three. It throws in the ability to surf on sand, which is helpful given that your world is essentially one big desert. Your character, the Wraith, is exploring ancient ruins in search of long-lost artifacts. Master the right techniques and you get to surf on actual water. Publisher Giant Squid is led by Matt Nava, who was the art director on the 2012 indie classic Journey, and Sword of the Sea shares that game's meditative vibe.

‘They've broken up with you': Comedian John Oliver roasts Schumer for naming fake couple 265 times
Comedian John Oliver mocked US Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer's frequent invoking of a fictional couple, saying that his 'imaginary friends' have 'already broken up' with him. Chuck Schumer, who describes the fictional couple as Reagan-era Republicans, has also weaved intricate details of their personal lives.(REUTERS) Schumer, on various occasions throughout his political career, has mentioned a fictional Long Island couple named Joe and Eileen Bailey who are meant to represent the average American voters. The Democrat, who describes the couple as Reagan-era Republicans, has also weaved intricate details of their personal lives, like their love for Kung Pao chicken, Joe's habit of singing the national anthem at the Islanders games and more. 'The Baileys have guided Chuck Schumer's political life — which is a little weird given they don't exist," Oliver said during his monologue on Last Week Tonight. He further showed clips of Schumer's 'unnecessarily detiled' constant mentions of the couple. 'I have conversations with them… one of my staffers once said I had imaginary friends to the press, got me in some trouble,' Schumer said in one of the clips shown by Oliver. The characters were first introduced in a book authored by Schumer titled 'Positively American: Winning Back the Middle-Class Majority One Family at a Time'. During his monologue, Oliver said that the Baileys, who Schumer sees as middle-class voters, have been mentioned by the New York lawmaker 265 times in the book, which has 264 pages. Speaking about the details provided by Schumer about the couple over the years, from their salaries to their economic and political beliefs, Oliver said that the Senator had provided a 'J.R.R. Tolkien-level of gratuitous backstory'. Oliver also spoke about how the Baileys had influenced Schumer's positions on several issues, including the 2008 financial crisis and cybersecurity. However, the comedian goes on to highlight that despite Schumer's focus on the couple, the Baileys seem to have deserted him, while highlighting that the Senator himself admitted that the couple had voted for US President Donald Trump in five of the last six presidential ballots cast between them. 'Politically, it seems they've already broken up with you,' Oliver said.
