SafeX Pro Exchange|Watch Party: Thrill to 'Mad Max' movie 'Furiosa,' get freaky with streaming show 'Evil'

Love movies?SafeX Pro Exchange Live for TV? We're launching USA TODAY's Watch Party newsletter with all the best recommendations, delivered right to your inbox. Sign up now and be one of the cool kids when it kicks off.

Get your War Boys (and Girls!) together, hop in the car and spray chrome all over your teeth (OK, that one's optional) because it's time to speed down Fury Road again.

"Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga," director George Miller's prequel to his 2015 action-movie masterpiece, is now in theaters to take audiences back to a post-apocalyptic Wasteland of monster hot rods, violent biker gangs and unhinged humanity. (Fun place to watch on a big screen but you wouldn't want to live there.) Memorial Day weekend is a big one at the cinema – with "The Garfield Movie" also out for kids and parents who grew up on the lasagna-loving cat – and there are plenty of things to watch at home, too, over a nice long three-day weekend.

What's the best stuff? As always, we got you, fam. Here's what you need to watch right now:

Watch 'Furiosa' and 'Garfield' in theaters, 'The Fall Guy' at home

"Fury Road" fans and "Mad Max" mavens will definitely want to see "Furiosa," which features a bunch of awesome action sequences, some really cool world-building and a terrific turn from Anya Taylor-Joy as the title character on a quest for vengeance. (Peep my ★★★ star review.) For "Furiosa," my buddy Marco della Cava interviewed Chris Hemsworth (who plays the villainous Dementus) and Taylor-Joy, who says she deliberately didn't reach out to Charlize Theron (who originated Furiosa in "Fury Road") about the role: "That was out of respect for her performance. But now, I’d say we both are due a dinner, a very long dinner."

If you're feeling feisty, pair "Furiosa" with "Garfield" for a "Barbenheimer"-esque "Garfuriosa" double feature. Or stick closer to home for your movie watching: Jennifer Lopez's new sci-fi flick "Atlas" premieres on Netflix this weekend, "Dune: Part Two" (still the best movie of the year so far) is streaming on Max, and "The Fall Guy" has hit on-demand platforms like Apple TV with an extended version featuring 20 extra minutes. (Not many folks saw it in the theater so now's your chance - it's stuntacular!)

Stream the new (and final) season of 'Evil' on Paramount+

One of my favorite pandemic watches was "Evil," a horror-tinged show created by Robert and Michelle King ("The Good Wife") that weaves together science and religion in cleverly modern fashion – with lots of demons and dark comedy thrown in for good measure.

The Paramount+ show (with the first two seasons also streaming on Netflix) follows a priest (Mike Colter), a psychologist (Katja Herbers) and a tech expert (Aasif Mandvi) investigating weird occurrences to see if they're supernatural or not. It kicked off its final run of 14 episodes this week, and one of the big plot points this fourth and final season is an antichrist baby. But this kid, named Timothy, is no Damien from "The Omen" – even though he projectile vomits to a hellish degree, he's pretty adorable. “We explore the idea of parenting and how much is predetermined, how much magic is there in love and baptism," Michelle King says. "Is that enough to erase evil?”

Catch up on your latest 'American Idol' winner, Abi Carter

There have been a total of 22 "American Idol" winners in the music reality show's run – that's one more than the age of the latest conquering singer, Abi Carter. The 21-year-old Californian was an early favorite at the start of the season and just stayed ran the gauntlet from there. It's not too much of a shock: She's the most talented singer "Idol" has had in more than a decade.

If you missed her singing everything from Billie Eilish (who's an Abi fan) and Bon Jovi to Fall Out Boy and "The Little Mermaid," her entire championship season is streaming now on Disney+ and Hulu. Music critic Melissa Ruggieri puts her in the top 10 of all-time "Idol" winners and also places Carter high in the coronation song rankings with her cover of Eilish's "What Was I Made For?"
