Paramount+ is the perfect streaming service for building your next movie marathon. It adds dozens of movies at the beginning of each month; it just added 82 new movies and shows on May 1. Plus, it adds new movies from Paramount Skydance studios on an ongoing basis.With so many newly added movies to choose from, though, it can be tough to know which movie to start with. The good news for you is that I've looked through the full list, and I've found the three movies you need to watch first this weekend.This week I'm keeping things on the lighter side ... mostly. The first movie on my list is "Slanted." It's a bit of a dark film, but it's a new body horror-comedy that you'll definitely want to check out. Think "White Chicks" meets "The Substance." Once you're done with that, skip Jon Favreau's "The Mandalorian and Grogu" and stream his 90s comedy classic, "Swingers," instead. Finally, wind down with a classic that does not get talked about today nearly as much as it should: "School of Rock." With so much Mike White buzz in the air related to "Survivor 50" and "The White Lotus" season 4, it's worth revisiting this early 2000s classic he wrote.So without further ado, here are the three new to Paramount+ movies that you need to be streaming this weekend.
