The Bronze A comedy drama starring Melissa Rauch as Hope-Ann Gregory,  a once well-known athlete. Despite having a wounded Achilles, she proved everyone wrong when she won a bronze medal for Ohio in a strenuous gymnastics tournament. However, not a whole lot has changed ever since Hope’s victory. She’s just known as a minor celebrity around town and that’s about it. Doesn’t do much of anything with her life. However, a girl in town named Maggie is the next upcoming gymnast and Hope is required to coach her if she wants an inheritance. But perhaps Hope is more focused on  sabotaging Maggie so she can still be known as the better woman. A comedy drama that is sure to be enjoyed by anyone who’s a huge fan of gymnastics.

Miracles from Heaven Based on a true story, the Beam family comes across a shocking dilemma when 10-year-old Anna is diagnosed with some kind of life-threatening disease that remains unknown.
