What's On Tonight (Saturday): Call me by your name

Lil Nas X: Long Live Montero

I'm gonna take my horse to the old town road! Here's what's on television for tonight, Saturday, January 27!

Our Top Pick tonight is the music documentary Lil Nas X: Long Live Montero (HBO & Max, 8 p.m.). The popular rapper Lil Nas X is profiled during his first tour and gives some insight into his life and family as well as his coming out in 2019. I usually quite like his use of queer visuals in appearances and performances.

Elsewhere, Dakota Johnson is Live from New York again, family-friendly media gets awards, America Salutes You, Julia Louis-Dreyfus Hurt My Feelings, and Naruto makes the final move.

(All times are Eastern. All listings are new unless otherwise stated. For more listings, visit The Futon Critic or Zap2it.)
