Happy Friday, ABS is back with another smashing round of smashing releases for this week’s What to Watch list.

Have you ever seen “Set It Off,” the 1996 film about four women who plot to steal bags of money from a few banks in Los Angeles? Not much planning goes into how Jada Pinkett Smith, Queen Latifah, Vivica A. Fox and Kimberly Elise rob and escape the police. 

But in the Detroit film “Dymez,” Nicole “Hoopz” Alexander and two female friends strategically plan heists using an app on their smartphones that helps them find a friend. 

Meanwhile, internet comedian Kountry Wayne brings all the laughs in his first live stand-up special where he jokes about his 10 kids, his childhood and today’s era of what is considered dating.

And if you’ve been a fan of the “Power” universe, then surely you’ve been following the series character Tommy Egan as he continues his relentless run as a drug dealer and unhinged killer in new episodes of “Power Book IV: Force for #Forcefridays.

And despite months of rumors about their alleged breakup, Taye Diggs and Apryl Jones are starring together in another movie titled, “Love & Murder: Atlanta Playboy.” The title speaks volumes, but fans online say it doesn’t quite match Diggs’ natural demeanor.
