December has already begun, but that won’t stop us from giving you the skinny on everything Starz is adding this month. The channel’s streaming app is now home to quite a few new movies and TV shows, with plenty more to come as the month rolls along—read on for our breakdown of the most noteworthy programming headed to Starz this December.
First off are a number of feature films now streaming on Starz, including family classics Home Alone and Home Alone 2: Lost in New York, arriving just in time for the holidays. Following in Kevin McCallister’s tiny footsteps are Ridley Scott’s Oscar-winning war film Black Hawk Down, the classic Steve McQueen-starring The Great Escape (1963), John Carpenter’s 1982 horror classic The Thing, quirky Ryan Gosling dramedy Lars and the Real Girl, Oscar-winning road film The Motorcycle Diaries, starring Gael García Bernal as a young Che Guevara, and Ang Lee’s eye-popping martial-arts action-drama Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. And not to be forgotten is bizarre 1974 sci-fi film Zardoz (available Dec. 22), featuring a fresh-off-James Bond Sean Connery wearing the worst onesie you’ve ever seen.
Our most-anticipated December addition on the small screen side might be a sneak peek at the pilot episode of Counterpart, a Starz original series starring Oscar winner J.K. Simmons as both mild-mannered government spy Howard Silk and his ass-kicking, quip-spitting alter ego, known only as Prime. The sneak peek arrives on the Starz app this Sunday, Dec. 10, with the series premiere following on Jan. 21, 2018. We highly recommend you revisit the trailer in the meantime. Of equal import are the season finales of a pair of prominent Starz originals: Outlander season three ends on Dec. 10, and Steven Soderbergh’s The Girlfriend Experience concludes its second season on Christmas Eve, Dec. 24. All episodes of both shows so far are currently available on the app, in case you’ve fallen behind and need to play catch-up.
And bear in mind that a number of titles are leaving Starz this month, as well—we regret to inform you that, as of Dec. 2, Martin Scorsese’s Daniel Day-Lewis-starring historical epic Gangs of New York is already gone, with televised sci-fi landmark The X-Files soon to follow on Dec. 7. You’ve got a little more time to catch Diane Keaton’s (and no one else’s) Oscar-winning comedy Annie Hall (leaving Dec. 17), Joel and Ethan Coen’s Hollywood dramedy Barton Fink (leaving Dec. 30) and a whole heap of films leaving on Dec. 31: Spike Jonze and Charlie Kaufman’s cerebral Being John Malkovich, Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez’s exploitation double feature homage Grindhouse (including both Tarantino’s Death Proof and Rodriguez’s Planet Terror), harrowing historical drama Hotel Rwanda, Sam Mendes’ Gulf War drama Jarhead, cult Kevin Smith comedy Mallrats, another Mendes film in the Oscar-nominated drama Revolutionary Road, Mel Brooks’ indispensable 1987 Star Wars spoof Spaceballs and, for the kids, a number of entries in the Land Before Time series.
