Getting George Clooney in a movie is usually a good deal. The same goes for Brad Pitt.

you together? in the same film? C’mon, that’s a BOGO fucking bargain. The “Ocean’s Eleven” partners are back on the same screen – and streaming to boot! – with the Apple TV+ action comedy “Wolfs”, one of our new viewing recommendations at the end of September. If you need a proper Netflix binge, we recommend the romantic comedy “Nobody Wants This” with Kristen Bell and Adam Brody. And yes, that title is terrible. But this is much better: My Old Ass is a coming-of-age dramedy that brings together Aubrey Plaza and Maisy Stella. (Remember the little girl from the ABC country soap “Nashville”? That's her!)

Now for the good stuff:

Watch George Clooney and Brad Pitt together in “Wolfs” on Apple TV+

“Wolfs” (now streaming on Apple TV+) stars Clooney and Pitt as rival “fixers” hired to do the same job, two old dogs with no desire to learn new tricks. (Fun fact: I met Clooney's pooch once over Zoom during the pandemic. It was great.) While the film is stylish and cool, it hits a lot of the usual buddy comedy tropes, but its two leads are just a joy, watching them together and jokingly and staring each other down as their characters go from enemies to partners as their night gradually goes wrong.
