Set against the backdrop of high school football, this film delves into themes of ambition, rebellion, and the unrelenting pressure of sports. You can stream this movie on Paramount+ and Pluto TV.

Lastly, check out “Don’t Trust the B—- In Apartment 23” (2012-2014), a quirky ABC sitcom where Van Der Beek plays a fictionalized version of himself. Teaming up with his on-screen BFF, Chloe (Krysten Ritter), Van Der Beek brings his trademark self-awareness and humor to this short-lived gem. You can rent this series for a fun weekend binge.

In addition to Van Der Beek’s stellar performances, this Valentine’s Day weekend offers a lineup of romantic comedies perfect for cozying up with a loved one. From the unconventional love story in “Harold & Maude” (1971) to the timeless charm of “When Harry Met Sally” (1989), there’s something for every romcom fan. And for a modern twist, don’t miss “Splitsville” (2025), a cynical romcom that promises unexpected twists and turns.

Looking beyond the romance, here are some movie trailers you may have missed during Super Bowl LX. Keep an eye out for “The Adventures of Cliff Booth,” a sequel to Quentin Tarantino’s hit film, “Once Upon A Time in Hollywood,” featuring Brad Pitt in a starring role.
