You may not think you’re in the mood for a documentary, but just try to make it through this list without pulling your streamer-finger at least once. There’s more than you might expect here, including quick hits like the Vox series Explained that will get you up to speed fast on everything from cryptocurrency to the rise of K Pop. Thanks for the tips, AV Club!
Ladies and gentlemen, start your long weekends! Yes, there is gardening to do and cookouts to cook, but when TV time comes, you also have the opportunity to go pole to pole and some short-run series. It’s only a slight stretch goal (!) and this list from Wired has you covered.
Not even sure this is a movie recommendation as much as it’s a review recommendation. And not even sure it’s a review recommendation as it’s just a link to a review recommending something I’m not sure I recommend. But maybe I do. As you can tell, I’ve never really been sure how to feel about Mike Myers’ version of “The Cat in the Hat.” But still, maybe a double feature with the latest insane “Cats” is lurking?…
Gizmodo is onto something with this little list of films. There are some movies that have an excitement and pace that actually make you feel like you’re taking a ride. Visceral Thrillers? Corporeal Capers? Booty Shakers? Can’t quite find the name at the moment, but why not have a read?…
Another new streamer is set to hit on May 27th. What can you expect from HBO Max? Well, just take a look at this list compiled by The Verge. It’s looking like a wide and deep set of classics for the price of a movie ticket a month. Tempting, indeed!
George Lucas has always told us that the idea of Star Wars drew heavily on the serial adventures of shows like Buck Rogers. And if you watch just a few episodes of the Clone Wars series, you’ll finally understand what he meant. The Sequels may have lost the plot for you, but there is a LOT to dive into here (133 episodes!) that will completely revive your appreciation for the life and times of that galaxy far, far away.
Well, sure! The theatre it is! Let the always on it NYT – seriously, bookmark them! – take you on a tour of this week’s highlights. From Dolly to Shakespeare and everything in between. Most are free, and many are events that you’ll want to put on your cal. But this is a must-read-early-so-you-don’t-miss-it kind of post. So don’t wait!
It’s true: Sometimes a good ending is the very thing that makes a movie actually live on in your mind far after the lights come up. Be a little careful with this great Buzzfeed list… some of the reviews get into spoiler territory… but def give it a read. True story satisfaction awaits.
It’s pronounced “brun-CHAPPY hour” and can be used in a sentence like so: “I saw this week’s list of daily streaming concerts on Bingelandia, so I’m arranging a little brunchappy hour from 1:00 to about 7:00 every day!” Brunchappy Hour™. It’s even better than Blunch™.
Open archives are awesome, and we try to feature one a week. I haven’t dived in too far yet, but already have Billie Eilish and am digging it. There’s quite a range here, so find something to fit your mood right away!
Hulu is really becoming a must, and the NYT has put together this tasty little list that helps show why. Definitely worth a quick read to whet your appetite at the start of the week:)
This has all the makings of an easy two-week binge. The NYT has gathered up a bunch of music documentaries that you can work your way through in no time. So sit on down, turn it up and give yourself a nice musical kick off to this strange summer of staying at home.
