The Burial – When a real estate handshake deal goes sour, funeral home owner Jeremiah O’Keefe (Tommy Lee Jones) enlists charismatic, smooth-talking attorney Willie E. Gary (Jamie Foxx) to save his family business. Tempers flare and laughter ensues as the unlikely pair bond while exposing corporate corruption and racial injustice. Debuts October 13 on Prime Video.

Mr. Dressup: The Magic of Make Believe – The origins and history of Canada’s favorite children’s show, Mr. Dressup, which built a legacy of kindness, patience, inclusiveness and creativity on CBC. With never-before-seen footage and interviews, the documentary reveals Ernie Coombs’ passion for entertaining others with childlike wonderment and kindness, and the love for his wife and family. From his early days working with Fred Rogers to his creative collaboration with puppeteer Judith Lawrence (voice and creator of Casey and Finnegan), to struggles to fund the iconic series, and finally, his second act touring college campuses, the documentary shows the highs-and-lows of the creative force that helped raise Canadian children for well over four decades. Debuts October 10 on Prime Video.

The Boogeyman – High school student Sadie Harper (Sophie Thatcher) and her younger sister Sawyer are reeling from the recent death of their mother and aren’t getting much support from their father, Will (Chris Messina), a therapist who is dealing with his own pain. When a desperate patient unexpectedly shows up at their home seeking help, he leaves behind a terrifying supernatural entity that preys on families and feeds on the suffering of its victims. Available October 10 on DVD/Blu-ray.

Sophie Thatcher, who plays Sadie in the horror film The Boogeyman, reveals what the creature actually looked like on the set, what it was like to have a little sister in the film and describes how her character did the throw that required a great aim.

Mayor of Kingstown: Season 2 – In Kingstown, Michigan, Mike McLusky (Jeremy Renner) negotiates between inmates, correction officers and criminals on the street. His younger brother Kyle (Taylor Handley) is a police officer, which gives him an inside connection and their mother Miriam (Dianne Wiest) teaches history in the prison system. When Kyle’s wife becomes pregnant, Miriam, afraid that Kyle will die in the line of duty like her oldest son Mitch did, begs him to no longer involve himself in his brother’s work. Available October 10 on DVD/Blu-ray.

Hugh Dillon (Flashpoint) talks about creating the gritty crime series Mayor of Kingstown with Taylor Sheridan. He describes how growing up in Kingston inspired him and describes the different prisons within Kingston Penitentiary. He also reveals how much it means to him to have Jeremy Renner in the title role, and Dianne Wiest as Renner’s mother, who teaches within the prison system.
