This week, a major theater chain changed hands, Jimmy Fallon wasn’t going anywhere and a briefly reunited band warmed our hearts.

Tuesday
Tuesday is a very funny but also deeply disturbing, dark, emotional movie directed by Daina Oniunas-Pusić. Julia Louis-Dreyfus stars as a mother with a terminally ill teen daughter and Death visits them in the form of a macaw (yes, a parrot). It is a movie with some humor — at one point the parrot is rapping along to Ice Cube. It can be a little bit off-kilter, but it’s got a lot of heart and great emotional beats and it’s just a really weird movie that I think people should see. — Aisha Harris
