The film earned an Oscar nomination for the song “Can’t Stop the Feeling!,” which Timberlake cowrote. The voice cast also stars Zooey Deschanel, Christopher Mintz-Platz, Christine Baranski and Russell Brand.
Danger Force, 8 PM on NIK; 9:30 PM on NIK: Young “Henry Danger” fans have barely started mourning the cancellation of that series, which ended its run earlier this week, when Cooper Barnes and Michael D. Cohan return in their respective fanfavorite roles as Captain Man and tech genius Schwoz in this new spinoff, which has been given an initial 13-episode order. Havan Flores, Terrence Little Gardenhigh, Dana Heath and Luca Luhan also appear.
Movie: Suicide Squad, 10:30 PM on TNT: Deadshot, Harley Quinn, Captain Boomerang and Killer Croc team up with several other armed supervillains to take on a mysterious adversary, while the psychopathic Joker launches an insidious agenda of his own in this 2016 DC superhero release, which was slammed across the board by critics. That didn’t stop the film from raking it in at the box office, as well as picking up an Academy Award for best makeup. Jared Leto, Will Smith, Margot Robbie and Viola Davis star.
