TV & MOVIES' ‘Wolfs’ Hard as this may be to believe, George Clooney and Brad Pitt are good together. Yes, stop the presses and all that. But it's been a while since Clooney and Pitt, who first teamed up for "Ocean's 11," had a movie built around their easy charisma. "Wolfs," streaming Friday, Sept. 27, on Apple TV+, corrects that with a sleek New York caper about two fixers who have been hired for the same clean-up job. DETAILS ‘Inside Out 2’ Some Pixar fans have quibbled in the past when the digital animation studio has leaned too hard into sequels. But the box office for "Inside Out 2" is hard to refute. With nearly $1.7 billion in ticket sales, it's the year's biggest box-office hit. "Inside Out 2" arrives on Disney+ this week, making it one of the most anticipated streaming debuts of the year. In it, Riley has grown up a couple years but entered a new chapter in life: puberty, bringing with it a number of new emotions. In its review, the Associated Press wrote that "the filmmakers of 'Inside Out 2' have managed again to filter complex psychological developments into a bright, entertaining head trip that in its finest moments packs an emotional wallop." DETAILS ‘Will & Harper’ Will Ferrell and Harper Steele became friends and collaborators at "Saturday Night Live," where Steele was head writer from 2004 to 2008. When Steele came out as transgender a few years ago, Ferrell, interested in reconnecting, proposed a road trip. In "Will & Harper," streaming Friday, Sept. 27, on Netflix, the two embark on a cross-country expedition full of revelations about what this changes and doesn't change in their relationship. DETAILS ‘For Your Approval’ Ellen DeGeneres says her next comedy special coming to Netflix will be her last. "For Your Approval" dropped Sept. 24 and the comedian is "going there," by addressing reports that she was difficult to deal with behind the scenes of her daytime talk show, which ended its run in 2022 after 19 seasons. "I got kicked out of show business," she says in the trailer. DETAILS ‘Grotesquerie’ Ryan Murphy has a new series on FX called "Grotesquerie" premiering this week. Niecy Nash stars as a detective who agrees to help a nun and reporter (Micaela Diamond) with a Catholic newspaper to investigate a series of gruesome murders. Super Bowl-winning Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce (otherwise known as Taylor Swift's boyfriend), has a secret role in the show. DETAILS ‘Doctor Odyssey’ If "Grotesquerie" isn't your bag, there's another Ryan Murphy series making its debut this week. A medical drama called "Doctor Odyssey" premieres Thursday on ABC. Joshua Jackson plays a doctor on board a luxury cruise ship called the Odyssey. Don Johnson, Philippa Soo and Sean Teale also star. The show also boasts a number of guest stars including John Stamos, Kelsea Ballerini, Shania Twain and Chord Overstreet. A trailer for the show had nearly 78 million views within 48 hours, making it the most-watched trailer for a new broadcast TV show. Episodes also stream on Hulu. DETAILS ‘Colin from Accounts’ One might assume a TV show called "Colin from Accounts" takes place in an office setting. Instead, it's a modern-day romantic comedy made in Australia. It's created by and co-stars real-life husband and wife, Harriet Dyer and Patrick Brammel, who play two people who are brought together by an injured dog named Colin. All eight episodes of season two debut Sept. 26 on Paramount+. DETAILS ‘The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon - The Book of Carol’ "The Walking Dead" characters Daryl and Carol, (played by Norman Reedus and Melissa McBride), make up one of the most popular platonic pairings on television. The two unlikely friends bond over similar pasts and share a deep trust. They next co-star in "The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon - The Book of Carol." It premieres Sept. 29 on AMC and AMC+. DETAILS ‘Brilliant Minds’ Zachry Quinto is back on TV this week in a medical drama. But he's not portraying any dour, by-the-rules doctor — he's playing Dr. Oliver Sacks, the famed neurologist, path-breaking researcher and author once called the "poet laureate of medicine." NBC's "Brilliant Minds" takes Sack's personality — a motorcycle-riding, fern-loving doctor who died in 2015 at 82 — and puts his career in the present day, where the creators theorize he would have no idea who Taylor Swift is or own a cell phone.

Steels Corners Rd., Cuyahoga Falls. 6:30 p.m., Sept. 27.

DETAILS Hispanic Heritage Celebration at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame The Rock Hall celebrates Latin and Hispanic music, culture, dance and art with live performances and local artist displays. Free but registration is required. 1100 E. 9th., Cleveland. 12-4 p.m., Sept. 28. DETAILS Candlelight: A Tribute to Adele See and hear the music of Adele like you’ve never before as the Listeso String Quartet performs songs like “Hello,” “Someone Like You,” “Rolling in the Deep” and more under the gentle glow of candlelight at the historic Maltz Performing Arts Center. Tickets start at $22. 1855 Ansel Rd., Cleveland. 8:30 p.m., Sept. 28. DETAILS Tommy Richman Remember the first time you heard "Million Dollar Baby"? The rap record feels like it came out of nowhere — as so many TikTok smashes do — but continues to endure, moving from hit song of the spring to hit song of the summer to hit song of the fall and beyond. But now, fans of Tommy Richman will get to dive deeper into his musical abilities when he releases the full-length "Coyote," on Friday, Sept. 27. Little is known about the 11-track release, but the lead singles "Whitney," a disco-funk electro-detour, and "Thought You Were the One" – a hook-heavy R&B ballad – suggest range. DETAILS Serj Tankian Serj Tankian, frontman of the Grammy-award winning Armenian-American nu-metal band System of a Down, will release a short solo EP, "Foundations" on Friday, Sept. 27. The release maintains his band's abrasion but experiments with different forms of audial rebellion. The single "A.F. Day," for example, is a kind of psychedelic-punk treatise on the absurdity of everyday mundanity. And it sounds explosive. DETAILS Being Dead There is nothing predictable about the band Being Dead's sophomore album, "EELS," produced by Grammy-award winner John Congleton. Across 16 tracks that move from asymmetrical egg punk, Devo-worship, a recording of a bus driver who has had enough, timeless, near-psychedelic harmonies and various other oddball sensibilities that make them the best college radio rock band in recent history – Being Dead's organized chaos is future-seeking and familiar all at once.
