Epoch Watchlist: Recommended Viewing for Feb. 27–March 5

This week, we feature a comedy about a father-son music reunion in the bright city lights of Seoul and a light drama on family relationships set in sunny Tuscany.

New Release

K-Pops!

BJ (Anderson .Paak) is a fading session drummer who heads to South Korea to back a glossy televised talent contest, hoping the bright lights might revive his stalled career and battered pride. Instead, he discovers breakout contestant Tae Young (Soul Rasheed) is the son he never knew existed.

The comeback hustle turns into something warmer and funnier than expected, with drum solos giving way to awkward father-son standoffs and backstage chaos. The music hooks you, and those small, hard-won steps toward parenthood keep it there.

‘Smallfoot’

Migo (Channing Tatum), a Yeti living up in the Himalayas, claims he’s seen a human. That upsets his village built on rigidity, drawing the ire of Stonekeeper (Common). Cast out, he sets off to prove that the “smallfoot” is real, crossing paths with Percy (James Corden), a fame-hungry TV host chasing his big break.
