Here's a complete rundown of all the best movies, shows, and documentaries to stream this weekend, broken down by what kind of entertainment you're looking for.

• In school, I didn't understand how my classmates didn't need a system to avoid panic attacks.
• My parents tried to get me diagnosed, but since I was a successful kid, I slipped through the cracks.
• At 25, I was diagnosed with autism and ADHD, and that didn't stop me from doing the things I wanted.

I've always sensed there was something fundamentally different about how I move through the world.

As a child, it felt like my classmates were speaking a different language, and I didn't have a hint of fluency. People would talk and interact, and connect in a way that felt impossible for me. I navigated adolescence with a sense of an outsider looking in on a hidden world, one I could interlope in at school but never fully belong to.

It wasn't until I was 25 that I finally got an answer.

I would have meltdowns every day at home

I didn't understand how my peers could experience and contribute to the complex noises and stimulation of a classroom when I would have near-daily meltdowns by the time I got home.

I couldn't comprehend that people didn't need to have a strict routine consisting of safe foods, clothes, songs, and smells when a single step out of my rigid system would induce panic attacks. It was absurd that others weren't obsessed with certain topics, gathering every tidbit of information with rabid hunger.

My parents also knew I was different and took me to psychiatrists. But, because on paper I was a "successful" kid, getting good grades and staying out of trouble, I slipped through the cracks — my symptoms were blamed on a panic disorder.

For a while, I was able to mask my way through life — I did ballet and cross country, graduated top of my high school and college classes, met my now husband, and hit "normal" milestones.

And then, in my first year of dental school, I suffered debilitating burnout. I wasn't sleeping, I wasn't eating, I was anxious and disoriented and nearly non-functional under the demands of my curriculum and living in a new city and being thrown into a dental school class filled with its own set of social rules I couldn't even begin to understand.

I was crumbling. If I didn't find help, I didn't know if I would make it to the next year.

I was diagnosed with autism and ADHD

Help came in the form of an incredible psychiatrist who, at the end of our first appointment, where I was a sobbing, broken mess, gently asked if anyone had ever suggested I'm neurodivergent. Fast forward a year, and at 25, I was diagnosed with ADHD and autism.

Getting my diagnosis was one of the most empowering moments of my life. At last, I had language for my overstimulation and sensory processing issues. I could acknowledge my unique wiring, and was told to explore and discover and free myself from trying to fit the mold of the neurotypical world. It felt like after an endless winter, I was finally able to push myself out of the soil and blossom.

I have since graduated from dental school, working as a full-time dentist focusing on making the experience as sensory-friendly as possible for my patients. I write books too. I leaned into my obsession with rom-coms and wrote my own featuring neurodivergent characters. One of my books, "Tilly in Technicolor," a young adult novel about an autistic boy and an ADHD girl grappling with the confusion of life after high school and falling wildly, beautifully in love with each other, but also their neurodivergent brains, went on to win an award. Another of my novels, "Late Bloomer" (this one adult and featuring autistic women indulging in a quiet, comfortable, romantic life filled with their special interests) is a USA Today Bestseller. Other titles in my backlist discuss anxiety disorders, CPTSD, and ADHD. I've traveled the world. I hate sports. I'm married and madly in love. I've cultivated friendships (mainly with neurodivergent folks) that young me would envy. My family seems pretty proud of me.

Recently, US Secretary of Health and Human Services, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., said autistic kids "will never pay taxes, hold a job, play baseball, write a poem, go out on a date. Many of them will never use a toilet unassisted. Autism destroys families."

I've done all of the things he said I wouldn't. For all intents and purposes, I am an accomplished individual. But this list of things I've done doesn't actually matter. I, like all disabled folks, am more than my output, more than a taxpayer and employee. My diagnosis made me realize that I don't have to conform to a set of societal expectations to "earn" a worthy existence.

I have value simply for existing, just like everybody else.

• MrBeast's recent partnership with Resorts World Las Vegas didn't live up to fan expectations.
• It is one of several recent partnerships that have landed MrBeast in hot water.
• It validates the YouTube star's strategy to bring more of his operations in-house as they expand.

MrBeast was caught up in another embarrassing incident with a partner. It shows why he's trying to bring more operations in-house.

The YouTube megastar partnered with Resorts World Las Vegas to offer a three-night "MrBeast Experience" at its hotel from April 13 to April 15.

The event promised an immersive experience, including games, exclusive merch and menu items, and a chance to win $10,000.

But some fans said the experience didn't deliver on those promises. Several attendees said in social media posts and news reports that the event lacked exclusive merch and other experiences. For example, multiple people told 8 News Now that the hotel told them to stay in their rooms for a mystery arrival — some waited up to 24 hours for the surprise, which one person said was a box of chocolates.

MrBeast, whose real name is Jimmy Donaldson, responded to the backlash on X and expressed disappointment with his event partners. "This definitely isn't the experience we hoped they'd deliver. My team's already on it," he wrote on Tuesday.

He wrote that people who attended the experience would be refunded and that he'd "personally make it up to" them by flying them out for a tour of his Greenville, North Carolina studio.

"I love my fans and I'll make sure they're happy," he wrote.

Resorts World, the casino and hotel company behind the event, did not immediately respond to a request for comment from BI.

This isn't Donaldson's first partnership that missed the mark.

In 2023, he sued the business partner of his ghost kitchen, MrBeast Burger, claiming the poor quality of the food was damaging his brand.

Then, in 2024, his Lunchly meal kit collab with influencers Logan Paul and KSI faced backlash after customers alleged on social media that mold was found in the food kit.

These scandals involving outside partners show why MrBeast is taking steps to gain more control of his empire. He's been bringing more operations in-house, and his company is raising money to expand.

MrBeast has been growing his in-house team

Donaldson is YouTube's top star, with over 380 million followers.

In 2024, he left his management company, Night, which he had been working with since 2018. He's since brought more of his operations in-house.

He hired Jeffrey Housenbold as president of his company, Beast Industries. Housenbold has been working to help the company secure funding at a $5 billion valuation, Bloomberg reported in February.

He's been pitching Donaldson's company as the next Disney, BI reported.

"Beast Industries is the next generation diversified media, consumer product goods and services conglomerate," said a February Beast Industries pitch deck obtained by BI.

The company generated $473 million in revenue in 2024 and is forecasting revenue of nearly double that this year, according to the deck.

Moving more operations in-house doesn't mean Donaldson is done with partnerships. His Amazon show "Beast Games" is casting for season two, and he has a line of collectible minifigures in partnership with the toy manufacturer Moose Toys.

Still, his immense ambitions show he can no longer afford messy partnerships that could damage his brand, like the one that created the "MrBeast Experience." The backlash validates his strategy to regain control of his business ventures.

• Former Google CEO Eric Schmidt said Trump's research cuts could hurt competition with China.
• Schmidt characterized Trump's policies in his second term as an "attack on science."
• "This madness will eventually end because it's too stupid not to fix," Schmidt said at a recent summit.

Former Google CEO Eric Schmidt says the United States could fall behind China in the race to superintelligence if President Donald Trump keeps on keeping on the way he is.

Since taking office in January, the Trump administration has tightened immigration controls, cut funding for government grants and research, reduced staffing and funding at NASA and NOAA, and targeted universities for their DEI-related programs and pro-Palestinian protests.

In March, Columbia University agreed to a series of conditions — stricter protest policies, a bolstered campus security force, and oversight of its Middle Eastern, South Asian, and African Studies Department — after the administration threatened to withhold $400 million in funding.

This week, the Trump administration froze $2 billion in funding to Harvard University after school leaders refused similar demands, including changes to Harvard's admissions process that would force it to coordinate with immigration officials.

Schmidt said these kinds of efforts from the Trump administration could chill tech development in the United States just as competition from China is ramping up.

At the AI+Biotechnology Summit, hosted last week by the National Security Commission on Emerging Biotechnology, Schmidt said the government has leveraged education funding to "falsely attack science." Schmidt graduated from Princeton University and has spoken highly of the school in other appearances.

At the conference, an interviewer asked Schmidt for his reaction to the Trump administration's suspension of university research programs and cuts to government science programs.

"This looks like a total attack on all of science in America," Schmidt said. "We're up against China that is pouring a trillion dollars into this, and we're screwing around with funding the core people to invent our future."

Schmidt was also asked about international students choosing not to come to the United States, or tech workers looking for work in other countries, because they worry they could face problems with immigration. He said he knew people who planned to return to London because "they don't want to work in this environment."

While many tech leaders, like Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg and OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, who both attended and helped finance Trump's inauguration, have struck a conciliatory tone with the administration, there appears to be dissent among the ranks.

Last month, Meta's Chief AI scientist, Yann LeCun, said Trump had started a "witch hunt in academia, moving to cancel the green card of some folks and expel them based on their speech."

Schmidt said that "everything that has happened in American exceptionalism" has come from the understanding that universities create exceptional innovators who can create strong "science and technology-generated" business opportunities.

"If you think that this sounds like me being a Democrat, let me remind you that fracking, which is hugely successful in America, made us independent of oil and gas, made us the largest exporter, followed the same path," Schmidt said.

Schmidt said many universities are now under "hiring freezes" because they are "so scared of this administration, which appears to be withholding hundreds of millions of dollars from them."

"This madness will eventually end, because it's too stupid not to fix, but there's damage occurring already, and I want everyone to understand it's real damage," he said.

• Ted Sarandos, the co-CEO of Netflix, said AI can open the door to improving movies overall.
• In addition to making them cheaper, as James Cameron recently said, Sarandos said he believes movies can be made "better."
• Talent at Netflix is already leveraging AI, particularly in VFX, he said on a Q1 earnings call.

Netflix co-CEO Ted Sarandos said he believes AI's true potential in Hollywood lies not in making movies more cost-efficient, but overall "better."

"There's a ton of excitement about what AI can do for content creators," Sarandos said on a Q1 earnings call when asked about how "meaningful" AI could be. "I read the article too, what Jim Cameron said about making movies 50% cheaper. I remain convinced that there's an even bigger opportunity if you can make movies 10% better."

Earlier this month, "Avatar" director Cameron said AI had the potential to cut the cost of blockbuster movies clear in half — a necessity, he said, if the medium is to survive. He's an advocate of using it to reduce expenses for "big effects-heavy, CG-heavy" films, rather than to generate "word salad" scripts.

Already, Sarandos said, creators at Netflix are using AI in just that fashion.

"So, our talent today is using AI tools to do set references or pre-vis, VFX sequence prep, shop planning, all kinds of things today that kind of make the process better," Sarandos said.

Sarandos said he believes it also allows smaller films to have access to effects that previously would've been locked behind large budgets typically reserved for big-name projects.

"Traditionally, only big-budget projects would have access to things like advanced visual effects, such as de-aging," he said. "So, today you can use these AI-powered tools to enable smaller budget projects to have access to big VFX on screen."

The technology remains controversial in Hollywood.

Concerns about the potential damage AI could do to creative industries, particularly in terms of job replacement, partly sparked the 2023 joint strike of SAG-AFTRA and the WGA. Since the resumption of production across the industry, AI as a technology has continued to advance rapidly, but has remained relatively narrow in terms of scope — largely confined to the VFX department.

Sarandos cited the experience of cinematographer Rodrigo Prieto as an example of how AI can be leveraged successfully, in this case, to reduce the cost of a de-aging effect.

"A recent example I think is really exciting, Rodrigo Prieto was the DP on 'The Irishman' just five years ago," Sarandos said. "And if you remember that movie, we were using very cutting-edge, very expensive de-aging technology that still had massive limitations, still created a bunch of complexity on set for the actors."

Just half a decade later, Sarandos said, AI has substantially shrunk the cost of de-aging.

"Using AI-powered tools, he was able to deliver this de-aging VFX to the screen for a fraction of what it costs on 'The Irishman,'" he said. "In fact, the entire budget of the film was about the VFX costs on 'The Irishman.'"

Moving forward, Sarandos said Netflix aims to continue to create opportunities for AI to improve what it's like to work as a creator, rather than replace the role entirely.

"So, same creator using new tools — new better tools — to do something that would have been impossible to do just five years ago," he said. "That's incredibly exciting. So, our focus is simple: find ways for AI to improve the member and the creator experience."

• Nintendo set a date for Switch 2 pre-orders in the US and apologized for a previous delay.
• The gaming giant isn't hiking the price of the game console for now but is increasing accessory prices.
• Nintendo said the higher prices were due to "changes in market conditions."

Nintendo gave an update to its American customers on Friday — and it's a good news/bad news situation.

The good news: The company isn't raising the price of the Switch 2 game console (for now).

The bad news: The extra accessories that many shoppers buy alongside the game console, such as controllers, are getting more expensive.

"Retail pre-orders for Nintendo Switch 2 will begin on April 24, 2025. At launch, the price for Nintendo Switch 2 in the U.S. will remain as announced on April 2 at $449.99, and the Nintendo Switch 2 + Mario Kart World bundle will remain as announced at $499.99," the company said on Friday.

"However, Nintendo Switch 2 accessories will experience price adjustments from those announced on April 2 due to changes in market conditions," Nintendo added. The company published a full pricing list, which you can view here.

Nintendo is also keeping the door open to future price hikes, including for the Switch 2.

"Other adjustments to the price of any Nintendo product are also possible in the future depending on market conditions," it said.

The much-anticipated update arrives after Nintendo found itself in a tough spot. The same day that it announced preorder pricing for the Switch 2, President Donald Trump unveiled his "Liberation Day" tariffs, which impacted the countries that manufacture Nintendo's game consoles.

Nintendo decided to pause US preorders, originally scheduled to begin on April 9, to "assess the potential impact of tariffs and evolving market conditions."

Nintendo apologized for the delay in its Friday update and said it hopes its release of the pricing details "reduces some of the uncertainty our customers may be experiencing."
