August is coming and with it a bevy of new content for whatever device you stream HBO Now on instead of going outside. Let’s dig into what titles most deserve your attention.
For your movie-watching cravings, recently released films like Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them and Jackie are absolutely worth a look for fans of Harry Potter and Jackie Kennedy, respectively. If you happen to like both, you’re in luck. Otherwise, lesser-known films like Guy Ritchie’s RocknRolla and the critically-acclaimed Frost / Nixon should help pass the time.
Almost as important as the slate of new films is what we’ll be losing at the end of the month. If you haven’t seen Nice Guys yet, take this as your official warning to check out the hilarious buddy cop film before it leaves and you’re left in a cold world where your only option would be iTunes or. .. Redbox (gasp). Also leaving are a few classics like The English Patient, Rain Main and, uh, The Tuxedo.
On the TV front, you’ll obviously be watching winter come all over Westeros, but one show to consider between Game of Thrones sessions will be this season’s Hard Knocks, focusing on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ training camp drama.
