Delicious finds that are worth feasting as soon as they arrive – or before they’re gone!
I have to say, I thought including the Market Watch guide to bingeworthy new content in July would be a fun little extra. But this list is for REAL! Not only do you get great recos and trailers, but the Watch breaks down the cost of each service, and whether now is the time to play or pause. Props, Market Watch! You’ve got the Pin of the Week!
Take your Sunday musical drive back to San Francisco, as Stern Grove’s Best of the Fest continues with their greatest hits of Hip-Hop and Rock. Enjoy the show!
TruTV may not be the first place you’d look for a great new sitcom to binge, what with its penchant reality shows and off-the-cuff concept shows, but maybe that’s what makes I’m Sorry such a find. It’s got a tone like no other, so hit take a quick peek!
This really is a great guide that covers plenty of ground, from the musical to the historical to the cinematic to the comedic. (It’s also one more reason to love Hulu, which seems to have ALL the best to binge these days.) If nothing else, do yourself the vast kindness of connecting with Aretha Franklin in the Amazing Grace concert film. Truly.
To honor Black experiences, voices and storytellers, HBO is making select shows free to watch today and all weekend. It’s a compelling and wide-ranging list, so hit the link and let the stories be told. Heart to heart out there, Happy Juneteenth!
This headline here isn’t just that Anna Kendrick has a new show on HBO Max that people are buzzing about… it’s how the show is coming out. They’re dropping new episodes in three-show pulses – and putting them out mid-week. Might not sound like a big deal, but it’s half way between a full season drop and a weekly episode, and people (at the Chron, anyway) are loving it.
Take a weekly trip to San Francisco’s Stern Grove this summer – at least on YouTube – as they play back some of their great performance. Here’s a link to Week 1, and you can count on a little Father’s Day Funk on their channel this Sunday. Put it on and turn it up!
When is a food show not a food show? Maybe when – like Padma Lakshmi’s “Taste the Nation” – its tastes range beyond the standard competitions and the common quests. Let the Chron tell you how this show digs for the causes the drive the culture that really fires up the food.
Hey, anything with Janelle Monae is an automatic draw, IMHO. But what’s especially interesting about a second season of Homecoming is… that there is a second season, at all. CNN explains it well, and it’s a bit of an eye opener about where things might be going. And also… Janelle Monae!
The summer music festival at Stern Grove in San Francisco is a tradition and cultural treasure that goes back decades. While this year’s live fest was sadly cancelled, this weekly webcast is a rare chance to see some of their greatest sets from stars like Sheila E., George Clinton, The Doobie Brothers and more. Bookmark this San Francisco treat!
Direct to streaming in nothing like direct to video. Which is just to say that Spike Lee’s “Da 5 Bloods” deserves every bit of your cinematic attention, especially at this moment. Let The Wrap give you the full run down on why this film is some truly essential viewing.
When this tribute to the locked-down Class of 2020 was announced, we were already in one crisis. In between then and now, though, our country has taken to the streets to fight for racial equality. If this was not a must-watch before – whether you have a graduating senior or not – it becomes so now to understand how the urgency of the message to the next generation has taken on a whole new meaning for all of us.
