It imagines Emi as a boy from Mar del Plata who discovers he has the power to stop time, while a football—voiced by Agustín Aristarán—follows him through his childhood, reminding him of every challenge still to come.

Woven through the animated sequences are real archival footage and intimate interviews with Martínez himself, his family and closest friends, goalkeeping coach Miguel Ángel ‘Pepé’ Santoro, Lionel Scaloni and Lionel Messi.

It is inspired by Alan Alda’s 1981 film. Streaming on Netflix Brazil ’70: The Third Star (May 29) In 1970, Brazil arrived at the World Cup in Mexico carrying the weight of a nation and the humiliation of 1966.

Lucas Agrícola plays Pelé, Rodrigo Santoro plays the fiery and eventually dismissed coach João Saldanha, and Bruno Mazzeo plays Mário Zagallo, who inherited an already assembled squad and guided them to glory. The ensemble cast includes Ravel Andrade (Tostão), Caio Cabral (Carlos Alberto), Gui Ferraz (Jairzinho) and Daniel Blanco (Rivellino).

His biggest challenge this season isn’t the mob, it’s his inner child, who surfaces with uncomfortable questions about old hurts and deeply rooted patterns.

Travolta’s own daughter Ella Bleu Travolta plays flight attendant Doris, while Travolta himself narrates. Streaming on Apple TV Rafa (May 29) The numbers are almost incomprehensible: 22 Grand Slam titles, 14 Roland Garros crowns, an Olympic gold, a Davis Cup and a career defined by a relationship with his own body that was as much adversarial as it was triumphant.

Directed by Emmy winner and Oscar nominee Zach Heinzerling (Cutie and the Boxer, McCartney 3,2,1), this four-episode documentary series offers unprecedented access to Rafael Nadal from childhood to his final professional match in November 2024. Blending never-before-seen archival footage with interviews from his closest circle, coaches and rivals, the series goes beyond the trophies to examine what it cost to stay at the top for two decades.
