Press Play: 3 popular titles and the perfect snacks to elevate movie night
Time for some movie magic? Here’s a list of three movies and shows (horror, adventure and romance) and the creative snacks to pair with them!
Together
Available on: Amazon Prime Video
Together is a psychological body horror film that dissects Tim and Millie’s fraying relationship. After moving to the countryside for a fresh start, a sinister force threatens to change everything they’ve built. The lead characters are played by real-life married couple Dave Franco and Alison Brie, making the on-screen chemistry feel that much more real.
If you can handle body horror while you eat, what about an oven-baked loaded cheesy nachos? The movie focuses on emotional co-dependency; much like nachos, you can’t have chips without the toppings. So grab a bag of chips at the store, the cheese of your choice, and veggies to sprinkle on top (tomatoes, peppers, olives…)!
Percy Jackson and the Olympians
Available on: Disney +
Following the success of the first season, Percy Jackson and the Olympians is back for the second one. New episodes drop every Wednesday on Disney + and Hulu, with the last release being Jan. 21.
In this new season, Percy (Walker Scobell) embarks on a journey across the sea to rescue his friends and protect Camp Half-Blood. I don’t want to spoil it too much if you haven’t started Season 1 yet, but this is a family-friendly way to spend your afternoon with the kids. It’s a story full of fantasy and adventure, based on the original novel series by Rick Riordan.
To match the fantasy theme, what about something fun like cotton candy burritos? All you need is your favourite ice cream for the centre, then roll it up with your cotton candy!
My Korean Boyfriend
Available on: Netflix
My Korean Boyfriend was released on the very first day of 2026 and it has been gaining some attention.
This reality series is quite different from the standard format: five Brazilian Women travel to South Korea to see where their long-distance relationships lead after having met their potential life partners online. The show aims to showcase reality, seeing if cultural differences will make or break their bond.
I watched just one episode last week and it was very intriguing. It’s a bit confusing at the start since there’s no explanation of what’s happening, but I like that aspect of the show; it makes you question what will happen next.
Since it’s called My Korean Boyfriend, it only feels right to grab some Korean snacks for the occasion. If you make your way to the international section of your local grocery store, they usually have Korean snacks. You might be able to find Instant noodles (Shin or Jin Ramen), Melona ice cream bars or honey butter chips.
So, are you going to be watching one of these tonight?
