Mashable Entertainment Editor Kristy Puchko returned to Talking Pictures with Neil Rosen to weigh in on some of the biggest titles in movies and TV.

Alongside fellow film critics Perri Nemiroff, Neil Rosen, and Bill McCuddy, she expressed her praise and critiques for a string of new releases, and answered some burning questions. Like, what's the best episode of Black Mirror Season 7? Does The Ugly Stepsister, the body-horror reimagining of Cinderella, live up to the Sundance hype? And why are critics and audiences alike going wild for writer/director Ryan Coogler's Sinners?

On this episode, the panel also reviews Netflix's hit crime drama Adolescence, the music-infused dramedy The Ballad of Wallis Island, the new Prime Video series Étoile from Amy Sherman-Palladino and Daniel Palladino, the Danish romantic drama The Kiss, and the upcoming biopic about groundbreaking wrestler Mildred Burke, Queen of the Ring.

Which of these are a must-see and which are worthy of missing? Find out by watching the episode above, or by tuning into PBS.
