3 Underrated Peacock Movies to Watch This Weekend (May 30-June 1)

If you’re looking for something to watch on Peacock this weekend, you may want to get started early.

Because Peacock has a high turnover for its movie lineup, the films streaming through May 31 may not be there when June begins this Sunday.

To help you get ahead of the potential departures, the Watch With Us team has selected the three underrated Peacock movies you should watch this weekend.

This week’s picks include the story behind an incredible music scandal, a haunting tale of revenge and a very modern update for one of the classic Universal monsters.

‘Girl You Know It’s True’ (2024)

Unless you grew up in the ’80s and ’90s, the name Milli Vanilli probably doesn’t mean anything to you. But this group was behind one of the biggest scandals in pop history when it was disclosed that neither Rob Pilatus nor Fab Morvan sang any of their songs on their Grammy-winning album.

Girl You Know It’s True shares its name with Milli Vanilli’s biggest hit, and casts Tijan Njie and Elan Ben Ali as Rob and Fab, respectively. While the film does acknowledge Brad Howell (David Mayonga) and John Davis (Samuel S. Franklin) as the real singers behind Milli Vanilli, this isn’t their story. Instead, the film explores how Rob and Fab were seduced by the trappings of fame and their own self-destructive tendencies even before the truth was revealed.

Girl You Know It’s True is streaming on Peacock.

‘Last Night in Soho’ (2021)

Director Edgar Wright‘s Last Night in Soho isn’t a typical ghost story, but the dead definitely make themselves known to Eloise (Thomasin McKenzie), a young woman who is studying to become a fashion designer. At night, Eloise experiences uncommonly vivid dreams in which she steps into the life of Sandie (Anya Taylor-Joy), a beautiful woman who lived in London during the ’60s.

Eloise is so taken by Sandie’s life that she models herself and her fashion after her. However, the longer that Eloise lingers in Sandie’s past, the more she experiences the dark side of her life. Eloise also experiences disturbing calls from beyond the grave that threaten to drive her out of her mind.

‘The Invisible Man’ (2021)

Since The Handmaid’s Tale concluded earlier this week, it’s a good time to see how the star of that show, Elisabeth Moss, fares when she gets to lead a movie as well. The Invisible Man casts Moss as Cecilia Kass, a brilliant architect who has been trapped in an abusive relationship with billionaire inventor Adrian Griffin (Oliver Jackson-Cohen).

Netflix is one of the top streamers in the entertainment industry,  and it got there because the people who make its programming decisions know that ending the month on a strong note is just as important as kicking off a new month of content. For the final weekend of May, Netflix hasn’t skimped out on […]

After Cecilia escapes the relationship, she’s told that Adrian committed suicide and left some of his money for her. But she’s wary about that, especially since an unseen presence begins tormenting Cecilia day and night. She correctly guesses that someone is using an experimental invisible suit to make her life a living Hell. But is it Adrian? Or has someone else targeted Cecilia?
