 The autumn of one's youth ...

A debut drama follows two cousins whose lives diverge and they grow into two very different adults, "Wild Indian."

We tend to skip biopics featuring lives we witnessed the first time around, but there's something appealingly trashy about the film from Michael Showalter ("Hello, My Name Is Doris," "The Big Sick") about our favorite religious charlatans the Bakkers, "The Eyes of Tammy Faye."

It looks like Annie Clark (St. Vincent) and Carrie Brownstein (TV's "Portlandia") had a lot of fun crafting the meta-mockumentary "The Nowhere Inn."

We're still onboard with David Chase ("Not Fade Away") and "The Sopranos," so we'll indulge him with his prequel, "The Many Saints of Newark."

The Duplass brothers rarely let us down, and Mark co-stars with Natalie Morales (who also directs) in a Zoom-era study of a budding long-distance friendship, "Language Lessons."
