Not sure what movie to watch this weekend? Leave a comment, we’ll help

We love movie recommendations here at Polygon. Whether it’s horror, sci-fi, action, comedy, thrillers, or just the best of the year, we’re always trying to introduce readers to new and exciting movies they’ll love. But now we want to find the perfect movie for you. (That’s you.)

Each Thursday on Polygon we’ll have an open thread dedicated to helping you, our dear readers, find the perfect watch for this weekend. Looking for a sci-fi movie that will make you contemplate the wonders (or horrors) of the world? We’ve got you. Looking to brush up on world cinema? What about some comfort food? We’ve got you there, too.

From 3:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. EDT, I will be in the comments section down below answering your questions and fielding requests for what you should watch this weekend. This is also a great place to share what you’ve been watching, if you want to talk about that with your fellow Polygon readers! Participation is very welcome, even without questions.

A little bit about me, your curator for this week: I’m Austen Goslin, an entertainment editor who’s taking this post over this week while Pete’s on vacation. I love movies of all types, but my main areas of interest are horror movies, weird curiosities (shoutout to On the Silver Globe), and just about anything in a movie theater.

Last week, I watched Civil War, Abigail, Challengers, The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare, and 2008’s The Strangers, to get ready for the new one due out in about a month. I also recently finished both Fallout, a surprisingly great show, and Shōgun, absolutely tremendous television, and am keeping up with the new season of Top Chef.

Now it’s time to turn it around to you. What would you like to watch this weekend (or what are you planning to watch)? Leave a request in the comments and I’ll get to it between 3:30 p.m. and 5:30 p.m. EDT. Details help — let me know what you’re looking for, some idea of your taste as a viewer, and any other relevant info you feel like sharing (like the streaming services you have access to).

Some examples of good queries from last week:

See you in the comments at 3:30 p.m. EDT! Fire away your requests in the meantime.
