The Back Side of Television: Season 2 (July 10)
I really enjoyed the first, three-part season of this snarky analysis of Australian network TV: an often cringey and parochial media space that host Mitch McTaggart honed in on with a perfect blend of fanboy enthusiasm and disdain. Those episodes focused on our shameful obsessions with true crime, A Current Affair bullshit, and the fact that TV programming is catering to an increasingly senile audience, with youngsters preferring to stream international content instead. With season two dropping soon on BINGE—ironically enough—I’m ready for a new serving of small-screen sass.
Full Circle (July 13)
Director Steven Soderbergh never misses, and the cast of his latest thriller series only further suggest that we’re in for something great. Claire Danes, Timothy Olyphant, Dennis Quaid and Zazie Beetz (fresh off probably the worst episode of Black Mirror ever) star in this NYC saga of a kidnapping gone horribly wrong. Scripted by Ed Solomon, one of the most popular screenwriters in the biz, the two-episode series will have us hooked with gritty, finely-tuned performances and a plot that intricately binds those characters together.
What We Do In The Shadows: Season 5 (July 14)
I don’t know if anyone expected a vampire mockumentary spin-off of a Taika Waititi film to show this much staying power, but having the best cast in TV comedy right now seems to have paid off. New episodes will see Nandor worrying about his once-devoted familiar Guillermo slipping out of his grasp, and energy vampire Colin Robinson running for political office. Each new season hysterically expands on the lore of this bizarre Staten Island found family of freaks, with impressive, ooky production value and a quotable gag a minute.
Top Picks: Movies
Marcel The Shell With Shoes On (July 8)
We reviewed this comic mockumentary as “a hopelessly sweet film that feels satisfyingly complete: not a string of Marcel the Shell shorts episodically strung into 90 minutes, nor a bloated “Cute Beloved Thing: The Movie” adaptation”. Dinky, tear-jerking, and low-stakes, it’s the perfect, gentle viewing experience to enjoy with little ones or simply other adults who wanna go “awwww” for about 100 minutes. Comedian Jenny Slate voices the stop-motion shell as he searches for the big (yet very little, in stature) family he’s been separated from, with a lonely filmmaker helping him grow to viral popularity.
Tár (July 29)
Probably the best film I saw last year, Tár is well-deserving of a streamed rewatch. It stars Cate Blanchett as an orchestra conductor who is able to steamroll any critics—and accusers of sexual harassment—with her sheer brilliance in her field and constant, eloquent monologues about artistry and legacy. Until she’s not. Returning to feature filmmaking after too long of a hiatus, director Todd Field captures her character in the midst of a personal and professional free-fall, with some unforgettable sequences verging on horror-movie atmosphere.
Puss In Boots: The Last Wish (July 29)
Without a stinky green ogre in sight, this zingy fairytale sequel might be the best Shrek movie ever made—sorry, purists. Antonio Banderas lends us his suave, grizzly vocals again in Puss in Boots’ standalone midlife-crises episode: feeling old beyond his nine lives, the heroic kitty must voyage through a video-game-esque quest to defeat death and return to his swashbuckling best. The animation style here borrows from the Spider-Verse‘s exaggerated visuals, and the action sequences are eye-explodingly entertaining. Special shout-out to Florence Pugh as Goldilocks and her heartwarming arc with her adopted family of three bears.
