‘The Greatest’ + a Kentucky Bourbon

Ali has been dramatized before, but rarely with this much access. Prime Video’s The Greatest comes from Ben Watkins, the creator of Hand of God and showrunner of Cross, with Michael B. Jordan on board as executive producer. The limited series follows Muhammad Ali through the wins, the fights outside the ring and everything that made him the most famous athlete of his century. Newcomer Jaalen Best takes on the role, which is about as big a first swing as an actor can get. What sets it apart is who’s behind it. Ali’s widow, Lonnie Ali, produced the series in collaboration with his estate, and the result is one of the most thorough portraits of the man Hollywood has managed so far. All eight episodes dropped Wednesday on Prime Video, so the weekend is spoken for.

Pair With

Pour yourself a Kentucky bourbon in honor of Louisville’s favorite son, or, to do it his way, a sharp ginger beer over ice. Ali was a devout Muslim and didn’t drink.

Clayface

By James Watkins

Out now

James Watkins, who made the tense American remake of Speak No Evil, takes DC's shape-shifting actor-turned-monster and runs it as body horror, from a Mike Flanagan script. A wide studio release that's betting a comic-book property can be genuinely unsettling rather than another origin story.

Wicker

The team behind Save Yourself! returns with Wicker, a folk-horror-adjacent swing starring Olivia Colman, Alexander Skarsgård and Elizabeth Debicki. Black Bear's backing and a Halloween-weekend date suggest confidence. The cast alone justifies the ticket; whether the film earns them is the October question.
