FEBRUARY 10 – MACK & RITA *Movie Premiere*

• When 30-year-old self-proclaimed homebody Mack Martin (Elizabeth Lail) reluctantly joins a Palm Springs bachelorette trip for her best friend Carla (Taylour Paige), her inner 70-year-old is released – literally. The frustrated writer and influencer magically transforms into her future self: “Aunt Rita” (Diane Keaton). Freed from the constraints of other people’s expectations, Rita comes into her own, becoming an unlikely social media sensation, and sparking a tentative romance with Mack’s adorable dog-sitter, Jack (Dustin Milligan). The film drops on Friday, Feb. 10 on STARZ.

FEBRUARY 11 – HBO’s MARC MARON: FROM BLEAK TO DARK *Special Premiere*

• Legendary comedian and podcaster Marc Maron stars in his first-ever HBO comedy special filmed in front of a live audience at New York City’s Town Hall. Over the course of a hilarious and deeply personal hour, Maron explores such universal topics as getting older, antisemitism and faith, and the superiority of having cats over children – especially during the pandemic. The comedian also opens up about the loss of his partner in 2020 and re-establishing his complicated relationship with his father. Funny and fearless, MARC MARON: FROM BLEAK TO DARK showcases the comedian’s expertly layered cynicism as he deftly weaves humour and pathos into his signature style of storytelling. The comedy special streams Saturday, Feb. 11 at 10 p.m. ET.
