If you are looking for advice on deciding what to watch on Prime Video this weekend, know that under no circumstances can you miss Roast in Peace: and the rest disappears, as one of the celebrities “roasted” by the comedians chosen by Michela Giraud would say. Only when you have seen the 6 episodes of RIP can you dedicate yourself to other new releases from the Prime catalogue, from the new episode of Gen V 2 to the films When Evil Lurks and Tagliando d’amore, or to the documentary John Candy: I like me. Finally, as always, take a look at the expiring content that we have selected for you. The choice is yours (obligatory) and have a good weekend!
