'Old Henry'

Full of twists and turns, Old Henry is a slick and gritty Western thriller with a shocking and brutal conclusion. Bolstered by a strong supporting cast and a meticulously crafted screenplay, Tim Blake Nelson gives an authentic, an awards-worthy performance as a man at war with himself. With stylish and suspenseful direction from filmmaker Potsy Ponciroli, Old Henry is an ambitious and highly polished reimagining of the fate of one of the American West's most notorious figures.

'War of the Worlds' (2017)

By Morgan Pryor

H.G. Wells' 1898 novel has made its way to the screen several times — one of which was a Tom Cruise-led movie — but this TV adaptation of War of the Worlds, which first aired in 2017, is a gritty and thought provoking invasion story. The premise is simple: an unseen extraterrestrial force attacks Earth in waves, killing off most of...

'The Next Thing You Eat'

By Conrad Doucette

Despite the presence of host and famed restauranteur David Chang, The Next Thing You Eat isn't your typical food/foodie show. Rather than recipes and culinary details, this Hulu series examines the logistics of modern food, from the micro and macro economic effects of increasing automation (a riveting episode on delivery), to the future of staples...

'Dune' (1984)

By Mark Graham

First things first: Go watch Denis Villeneuve's brand-new version of Dune. My colleague Meghan O'Keefe recommended it as a "What To Watch" the other day, and it's currently streaming on HBO Max (though I would highly recommend making a trip to see it on the biggest screen possible in your area, preferably IMAX). After you've done that, turn your...

'Invasion of the Body Snatchers'

By Brett White

Don't let Leave It to Beaver fool you: the 1950s were an intense time ripe with paranoia. You didn't see it on TV, but you definitely saw it in feature films—like 1956's classic Invasion of the Body Snatchers. The film's title and its pod people have become mainstays of the horror lexicon, inspiring numerous references and remakes. The original, ...

'Good Timing with Jo Firestone'

By Lea Palmieri

Jo Firestone is a national treasure, and she's gathered up a group of fellow national treasures in the form of senior citizens taking her comedy workshop. Good Timing with Jo Firestone is a new Peacock special that chronicles their time in person (after Zooming for a year) prepping for a live comedy show as they discuss sex, love, comedy, and so...

'Inside Job'

By Kayla Cobb

Who knew that running a shadow government would be just like your day job? That's the reality Shion Takeuchi's new animated comedy proposes. Every episode follows the brilliant but mad Reagan (Lizzy Caplan) and her band of not-so-merry co-workers as they wrangle robots Regan has built, smuggle drugs into a town stuck in the '80s,...

'The Movies That Made Us': "Friday the 13th"

By Josh Sorokach

Even the most passionate of Friday the 13th fans may not have time for Crystal Lake Memories, the almost seven hour documentary about the historic horror franchise (which is currently streaming on Shudder). If you want a snapshot at how Friday the 13th went from low-budget indie film to iconic slasher staple, the new season of Netflix's breezy...

'Runt'

By Anna Menta

Actor Cameron Boyce, who was beloved by millions for his role in the Disney Channel movie franchise Descendants, died suddenly in 2019 when he was just 20 years old, due to complications from epilepsy. Now his final film, Runt, is available to the public on VOD, and it serves as a showcase for Boyce's talent. The young actor shines as a high...
