What to binge this weekend on ABC13's free streaming apps

HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- It's the weekend, and you're not trying to leave the couch. We hear you. Let us entertain you with a guide on what to watch on ABC13's free streaming apps as you curl up in your favorite jammies (don't worry, we won't tell, because we're wearing ours, too!)

'WandaVision' enters the Marvel Universe

The new Disney+ series,"WandaVision," provides some throwback flavor you didn't know you needed, and yet still provides a unique twist.

While paying homage to classic sitcoms (think everything from "The Dick Van Dyke Show" to "I Dream of Jeannie" and "Family Ties"), it also leaves some mystery up its sleeve, giving us two very powerful characters in Wanda Maximoff, a.k.a. Marvel's Scarlet Witch, and Vision, a physics-defying android.

The first two episodes are streaming now on Disney+, but you can hear from the cast right now on ABC13's apps for Roku, Fire TV, Apple TV and Android TV.

There, stars Elizabeth Olsen, who plays Maximoff, and Paul Bettany, who owns the role of Vision, share how their series blends something we've never seen before.

Watch their interview in the "Top News" collection.

Get answers about the COVID-19 vaccine

With so much misinformation out there, and concerns about demand outpacing supply for the COVID-19 vaccine, we've dedicated an entire section to keeping you and your family informed.

In the "COVID-19 Vaccine" collection, we're dispelling rumors like this one, "You don't need to wear a mask if you get the vaccine because you're protected." We're here to tell you right now that is false.

But more importantly, you can get answers from doctors.

You can also find the latest information on the vaccine distribution plans in Houston-area counties. How's it going in Fort Bend County? What about in Galveston County? We got those answers for you and posted them in this collection.

And in case you missed it, boxing great George Foreman isn't playing around about COVID-19 either. We caught up with him after he got the first dose of the vaccine.

He says he wanted to be public about getting vaccinated to help dispel any doubts about it and encourage those in Black and Hispanic communities.

"Just like I knocked out Joe Frazier, now science is knocking out COVID-19 to become the champion," Foreman said.

On a 10-point boxing scale, we give that statement a 10.

Every day, ABC13 is dedicating a half hour special to the vaccine rollout. Stream the specials live and if you miss them, they'll be featured in this collection.
