October on Disney+ might not seem like it’s bringing the heat, since something on the scale of, say, Mulan, isn’t debuting. But it’s actually pretty jam-packed. With some major new series, a big movie premiere, and the return of The Mandalorian, there is plenty to keep you and the rest of your family busy in the month ahead. Obviously The Mandalorian is the biggest thing to hit Disney’s direct-to-consumer streaming platform this month, coming at the tail end of the month (October 30). Lucasfilm’s first live-action television series was a sensation …

Hulu, that streaming service with the fun green font, has announced its new lineup of titles coming in August 2020. If you're looking to escape the dog days of summer -- er, "have to escape the dog days of summer because you're in quarantine" -- these pieces of streaming entertainment might do the trick. Notable titles include The Peanut Butter Falcon, an inspiring and charming "wrestling road trip dramedy"; Ordinary Love, an inspiring and heartbreaking "romantic cancer drama"; and just, like, a shit ton of the original Star Trek film franchise, from number one to Insurrection and everything in between. …

Hulu has announced its lineup of new titles arriving in July 2020. The big new original on the schedule is the hilarious Andy Samberg/Cristin Milioti comedy Palm Springs. You should avoid the trailer for this one and just trust us (we saw the film at Sundance) that you should watch this film when it hits on July 10th. If you're looking for something more familiar, notable catalog titles arriving in July include A Bridge Too Far, A Mighty Wind, Best in Show, The Color Purple, The Devil's Rejects, Dheepan, Footloose (1984), Forgetting Sarah Marshall, Grizzly Man, Hot …

Nuclear Take: I like good movies! As such, I'm a huge fan of the Criterion Collection, that home video label devoted to taking the best and most eclectic fare in cinema and giving them beyond-handsome Blu-ray packages with perfect specs and special features (they also have an incredible streaming channel!). The company just announced their September 2020 slate, and I'm here for all of it. David Lynch's The Elephant Man might be the splashiest of the new releases, and this film joins other Criterion treatments of his work like Blue Velvet, Mulholland Drive, and Eraserhead. …

HBO Max is shaping up to be a heavy hitter in the streaming space. With so many Warner Bros. classics at its disposal, we shouldn't be too surprised that they've got a great catalog of titles, but it's still something to see it all laid out. From June alone, this is going to be a service worth its subscription. Notable June titles include Adventures in Babysitting, Amelie, An American Werewolf in London, Cabaret, Chicago, Drop Dead Gorgeous, Elf, The Fountain, Full Metal Jacket, The Goonies, Hanna, The Iron Giant, Looney Tunes: Back in Action, Magic Mike, McCabe …

The future of Star Wars is on the small screen. At least for the immediate future. While Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker wrapped up the nine-film Skywalker Saga in divisive fashion, Lucasfilm is “taking a breath” between Star Wars movies at the moment as they work to sort out what the future of Star Wars films looks like. Development is ongoing on a feature to be directed by Taika Waititi, but in truth, there’s more action happening on the small screen right now in the Star Wars universe. The Mandalorian, the first-ever live-action Star Wars …

Film fans who subscribe to the Criterion Channel have reason to rejoice, as next month's offerings are sure to whet their cinematic appetites. Not only are Martin Scorsese's Raging Bull and The Age of Innocence coming to the streaming service, but there are also retrospectives on tap for director Nicole Holofcener and action superstar Jackie Chan, whose 1985 classic Police Story and its 1988 sequel will be available on the channel. Other May 2020 highlights include the California movies The Limey and Mulholland Drive, Eliza Hittman's first film It Felt Like Love, Yorgos Lanthimos' confounding comedy Dogtooth, …

It's not unusual for movie release dates to jump around the calendar, but we're witnessing a unique set of circumstances why in 2020. With coronavirus making its way around the globe and movie studios relying on international box office to maximize returns, studios have taken to delaying not just movies but entire productions, which throws the entire release schedule into flux. This means that movies that were slated to open in 2020 may get pushed into 2021, so we wanted to have this calendar ready to keep track of the films you're excited to see. We'll …

Ahoy, mateys! Are ye feeling a touch of the cabin-fever on account of all yer self-quarantining and staying safe and whatnot? Are ye needin' some new Amazon Prime content to be streamin'?! Ahem. Well. Sorry about that. It's just that The Lighthouse, in which Willem Dafoe one billion percent talks like that, is coming to Amazon Prime in April 16, and it's the perfect viewing experiment to heighten and crystallize your self-quarantine anxieties into its purest, most cathartic form. What else is coming to Amazon in April? They've got a bunch of James Bond …

You know what? Call me crazy, but I think the Criterion Channel has good film programming! They offer much of their Criterion Collection, alongside tons of other classics, underseen gems, and dopely curated bonus features. And their new offerings for April 2020 have all kinds of incredible goodies for film fans. April 2020's slate includes gems from auteurs like Martin Scorsese, Douglas Sirk, Yorgos Lanthimos, and Otto Preminger. Plus: Eclectic slates of stylish 1970s cinema, classic film noir, and a prolific overview of prolific actor Toshiro Mifune. And we're only scratching the surface! Check out the full list …

If you’re a film nerd (and the odds are pretty high since you’re here reading this), you’re probably already hip-deep in the Criterion Channel’s selection of classic movies and insightful commentary. The streaming service’s slate of offerings for March 2020 is predictably awesome, including an expansive retrospective on the films scored by Quincy Jones. That man scored so many classic movies it’s almost impossible to look at his list of credits without saying, “Oh, he did that too?!” at least once. Also up this month is a new installment of Adventures in Moviegoing …

Tremendous news for the dozen or so of you out there just hankering to revisit the 2006 3D remake of Night of the Living Dead, as the title finds its way to Amazon Prime on March 1. (Along with 2013's Night of the Living Dead: Ressurection.) Once you get that out of your system, the genuinely spine-tingling cave-dive horror The Descent is a good chaser, also arriving March 1. Other highlights from Amazon's month of March include ZeroZeroZero, an original series starring Gabriel Byrne and Dane Dehaan premiering March 6, Kevin Smith's Jay and Silent …

Disney+ enjoyed a pretty solid launch at the tail-end of 2019, but 2020 poses all new challenges and opportunities for the nostalgia-fueled streaming service. The new network wisely launched with a healthy mix of both new properties--both feature length and short-form--and a sizeable amount of archival material; it helps that Disney just so happens to own 20th Century Fox, Marvel, and Pixar, offering up their titles in addition to Disney's original content over the last 80 years or so. But while The Mandalorian (and Baby Yoda) was clearly the streaming service's standout title …

Hulu has released the full list of titles coming to and leaving the service in October 2019. Since we're now firmly in Halloween season, it's no surprise a solid dose of spookiness is coming your way. Little Monsters, the Hulu original film that stars Oscar-winner Lupita Nyong'o as a schoolteacher protecting a kindergarten field trip from a zombie outbreak, hits the streamer on October 11. Season 2 of the Stephen King-themed horror series Castle Rock also arrives on October 23. For more star-powered horror, the psychological thriller Wounds starring Armie Hammer and Dakota Johnson …

The "Am I The Only One Around Here?" meme has its origin in one of the most popular movies from the Coen Brothers. Here's the story of it.

Pixar has two sequels on the horizon, but very little else. Not the best ratio of comfortable to edgy, but animated movies take a very long time to produce. Here's what we know about the animation giant's short-term plans.
