What to Watch this week: Catch some Air and squash that Beef

Ben Affleck directs and stars in the movie Air, which tells the story of Nike basketball expert Sonny Vaccaro — played by Matt Damon — who pushed the company to design a show around basketball prodigy and NBA rookie Michael Jordan. Also stars Viola Davis, Jason Bateman, Chris Tucker, Chris Messina, and Marlon Wayans.

Also in theaters, Mario, Luigi, Princess Peach, Toad, Bowser, and more of your favorites come to life with the animated movie The Super Mario Bros., with a voice cast that includes Chris Pratt, Charlie Day, Anya Taylor-Joy, Keegan-Michael Key, and Jack Black.

New on TV: Ali Wong and Steven Yeun have Beef; Kathryn Hahn stars in Tiny Beautiful Things; and the prequel series Grease: Rise of the Pink Ladies tracks the rise of the group who forever change Rydell High.
