- "The It List" is Yahoo's weekly look at the best in pop culture. With the coronavirus pandemic in mind, here are our picks for the week of January 25.

"I Love Lucy" is one of the most beloved TV shows of all time. But a new series is delving into Lucille Ball's life off screen. "Life, Death, and Money" examines the financial lives of celebrities, following their money trail through life and even after death. Their new episode on Lucille Ball focuses on her multi-million estate after her death and how an auction of her personal items turned ugly. Probably not a lot of laughs. But for that, you'll always have reruns.

If you're more in the mood for religion tinged terror, check out "Saint Maude." The new horror film from A24 was released in the UK last year but is just now arriving in US theaters. It follows Maude, a devout hospice nurse who begins to spiral down a rabbit hole of madness with very painful, to say the least, consequences.

- I'm ready and open. I feel fuller of your love than ever before.

- For something a little more soothing and sane, try "Fixer Upper: Welcome Home." Chip and Joanna Gaines are back for more demo and reno as they transform houses from dreary to dreamy. The new series promises plenty of head turning befores and afters and, of course, lots of one-liners from Chip.

- When you talk about demo, I mean, that is a turn on.

- Oh, gosh.

- Come back next week to check out Yahoo's "It List."
