What's On Tonight (Wednesday): Fall hard

The Harder They Fall

Howdy, partner! Here's what's on television for tonight, Wednesday, November 3!

Tonight's Top Pick is the latest streamable movie from Internet Flicks. The Harder They Fall (Netflix, 3 a.m.) is your large ensemble shoot-'em-up Western from Jeymes Samuel with an all-star Black cast, including but definitely not limited to Jonathan Majors, Idris Elba, Regina King, Zazie Beetz, and LaKeith Stanfield. Two outlaws prepare to meet up and only one might walk away alive. Reviews are positive, and it certainly looks like it has style.

Elsewhere, the Legends go to Chicago, there's jealousy at Home, OxyContin is bad, Candyman is profiled, Batwoman is a 30 Under 30, Stonehenge still has Secrets, Becky Conner is in college, and Nova reveals our galaxy's past, present, and future
