Follow Taylor Swift’s Final US Eras Shows, Watch ‘Janet Planet’ and More Billboard Family Hits of the Week
Billboard Family's Hits of the Week include the last U.S. shows of The Eras Tour, coming-of-age drama 'Janet Planet' and Chappell Roan on 'SNL.'
In movies to watch at home this week, there’s a gem newly streaming on Max (and coming to HBO) that might interest parents and introspective older kids: Janet Planet, written and directed by Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Annie Baker and starring Julianne Nicholson. Don’t expect Janet Planet to hold the attention of very young viewers, but the character- and setting-driven story, rated PG-13, is one to watch for the grownups and older kids in the family if you’ve got a mature middle schooler, or teen, who can appreciate the type of film that’s more about subtle observations than action. The miniature troll doll with the purple hair, the dull car ride from the backseat, the random knickknacks being toys, the JCPenney sign and the mall trip with no money, the Clarissa Explains It All theme song on a day spent sick on the couch — they might as well have been memories of my own.
