Mel Brooks, a staple of comedy for nearly a century, is getting the spotlight in a two-part documentary on HBO Max that fans are eagerly anticipating this weekend. Alongside that, a new reality show titled canada shore, which follows a group of 10 individuals living by the beach, premiered on Paramount+ recently. And don’t miss skyscraper live on Netflix this Friday, featuring rock climber Alex Honnold as he takes on Taipei 101. It’s like the real-life version of Tom Cruise’s climb in Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol, but, if I remember correctly, Honnold attempts it without a safety belt—just his fingertips doing the work.

New movies and shows streaming this weekend: Mel Brooks: 99 years old!, skyscraper live, canada shore
This weekend’s lineup features a documentary celebrating a comedy legend, a daring livestream, and a fresh twist on reality TV. HBO Max offers Mel Brooks: 99 years old!, which delves into the comedian’s remarkable journey. Meanwhile, Netflix will showcase Honnold’s live attempt to scale one of the tallest buildings on Earth, and on Paramount+, viewers can catch canada shore, a polite nod to jersey shore.
Honnold, known for his thrilling climbs as seen in free solo, is attempting a daring feat on January 23rd, with live coverage starting at 8 PM ET and 5 PM PT, where he will ascend Taipei 101 sans rope. Honestly, I can’t imagine the nerves involved—I’d probably be sweating just watching! If you’re curious to see Honnold in action ahead of the live event, free solo is available on Netflix.
Mel Brooks is a comedic icon, and at 99, he continues to inspire. The HBO Max documentary, directed by Judd Apatow and Michael Bonfiglio, revisits his illustrious career and includes insights from other influential figures like Jerry Seinfeld and Conan O’Brien. Both parts of the documentary can be streamed now.
