Netflix is surfing a wave of nostalgia come August 1, with classics (well, for some of us) like Innerspace and The Addams Family. You can also marathon all three Matrix movies or just watch the first one and pretend the rest never happened. On August 5, Holes (starring Shia LaBeouf) will also come to Netflix.

If you’re looking for a revival of something that was already revived, get ready for season 1 of Netflix’s Wet Hot American Summer: Ten Years Later, coming on August 4 as a sequel to the 2001 film, Wet Hot American Summer (and the 2015 Netflix prequel series: Wet Hot American Summer: First Day of Camp). Netflix is also releasing its live-action version of Death Note, based on the popular anime series. For the superhero fans, Marvel’s The Defenders debuts on August 18.

For a laugh, watch Maz Jobrani’s standup special Immigrant, about modern-day parenting and being an immigrant during the Trump administration. There’s also a series featuring country music star turned standup comedian Brad Paisley (yes, he’s really a comedian now), aptly named Brad Paisley’s Comedy Rodeo, which includes appearances from David Hasselhoff and Reba McEntire. On August 22, Lynne Koplitz’s Hormonal Beast will debut.

Before the month ends, be sure to watch The League for the last time: seasons 1-7 will be pulled on August 30. Other notable shows and movies leaving are 10 Things I Hate About You, Superbad, seasons 1-4 of American Dad!, The Lizzie McGuire Movie, and seasons 1-4 of Revenge.

Television

3%


Netflix’s first foray into Brazilian content, 3% is a dystopian thriller set in a world plagued by extreme poverty, where 3% of the population has the opportunity to have a better life in the “Offshore,” but must survive The Process, a series of physical, intellectual, and emotional tests.


Boys Over Flowers


This Korean drama (K-drama) follows the story of a studious working class girl who gets accepted into an exclusive and elite academy, where she catches the eye of the four most popular (and rich and also handsome) boys of the school.


The 1st Shop of Coffee Prince


Another classic K-drama romantic comedy about a working class tomboyish woman who disguises herself as a man to get a job at a coffeeshop, and the rich playboy coffeeshop owner who falls in love with her.


Club de Cuervos


The first of Netflix’s original Spanish programs, Club de Cuervos is a dramedy about a fictional soccer team in Mexico dealing with the aftermath of the owner’s death. When the owner’s unqualified and hard-partying son ends up taking the reins, his far more competent daughter hatches a plan to take back what’s hers.


Samurai Gourmet


This quirky and surreal Japanese show follows a retiree as he navigates the various customs surrounding food culture, like whether or not it’s okay to drink beer with lunch, or how to reconcile western and Japanese etiquette when eating spaghetti. With the food porniness of Chef’s Table and the appearance of a samurai in every episode, it really checks all the boxes.


Fauda


This Israeli thriller follows an Israeli force tasked with killing a Palestinian militant. It gives us a unique microcosm of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, showing just how intertwined the sides are and the rippling effect the violence of the conflict has.

Rita


This Danish family dramedy follows a brazen single mother and teacher hellbent on doing things her way as she navigates relationships and a number of other situations like sexuality, drug use, and xenophobia.

Occupied


In this Norwegian thriller, when a new leader decides to shut down Norway’s oil and gas industry in favor of greener solutions to combat global warming, Russia, with the rest of Europe’s blessing, invades the country to avoid a complete crisis.


A Very Secret Service


Dr. Strangelove meets Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy in this 1960s French satire that pokes fun at Cold War-era politics, French colonialism, the government bureaucracy and, of course, spies.



Las Chicas De Cables


This Spanish period drama follows the lives of four women who become telephone operators in the late 1920s, and serves up some fun drama and love stories with some feminist overtones.




Hotel Beau Séjour


If you’re into crime dramas and supernatural shyt, this is the show for you. A deceased Belgian teenager attempts to solve her own murder with the help of a handful of live folks who can communicate with her.


Gangs of Wasseypur


This gritty Indian story follows the intertwining of politics, crime, and coal, and the rise and fall of the crime families in Dhanbad.

Movies under spoiler to shorten the post


Movies

Girlhood



This French film follows a African French teen who lives in the projects of Paris who finds sisterhood in an all-girl gang.



Omar


In this Oscar-nominated film from Palestine, a Palestinian kid is forced to become an Israeli informant after he is arrested for the death of an Israeli soldier.




The African Doctor


This French fish-out-of water dramedy is based on the true story of a Congolese doctor who moves his family to rural France to take a job. The family must deal with the struggle of being the only black family in town and the racism of their fellow townspeople.



Raees


This Indian film starring Shah Rukh Khan takes us into the underbelly of politics, crime, and liquor smuggling, making a hero out of a criminal.

The Host


This Korean hit from Bong Joon-ho, director of Ojka, Mother, and Snowpiercer, is about a man fighting to rescue his daughter who has been taken by a sea monster, eluding quarantines and other government blockades.



The Good the Bad and the Weird


This insanely fun South Korean spaghetti western set in the 1930s follows three very different men on the hunt to find a treasure map that could lead them to treasure.


Loev


Okay, so, technically this Indian film is in English, but it’s a gorgeous and tender queer film about two childhood friends who end up taking very different paths in life, then reunite for a weekend trip, where they confront their attraction to each other.



I Am Love


This family drama follows a Russian woman who marries into a wealthy Italian family and has to reconcile her responsibilities, an affair, and the idea of keeping up appearances.




Güeros


Set against the backdrop of Mexico’s 1999 student protests, this surreal Mexican film follows a teenage boy sent to live with his college student brother in a stylish exploration of the pitfalls of youth.





Atomic Falafel


In this absurdist comedy, two girls from Iran and Israel thwart a nuclear war between their homecountries.




Dangal


All wrestling champ Mahavir wanted was a son to take on the family trade, but four girls later, his dreams were unrealized—that is, until his daughters showed a knack for fighting. Based on a true story, this Indian sports film follows the childhood and early careers of Geeta Phogat and Babita Kumari, two iconic female wrestlers.


Dheepan


This Palme d’Or-winning French film follows three Sri Lankan refugees who pretend to be a family in order to find a better life in Europe. They end up in the projects of Paris only to find more problems ahead of them.


God of Cookery


This film is not a sophisticated art-house film by any means, but it is certainly something of a masterpiece. Incredibly ridiculous and goofy, God of Cookery, a Stephen Chow joint, follows the downfall of a fraudulent celebrity chef and his utterly absurd road to redemption with the help of a tough street-smart cook who goes by the name Sister Turkey.

Ozark was basically a great value breaking bad. The only highlight is seeing the main character talk himself out of a lot of fukked up situations. Overall storyline was very bland.

I'm late as hell but I watched beasts of no nation last night. My god that was brutal to watch sometimes. The scene of strika stomping that little girl to death is just etched in my head. shyt was a masterpiece though. First time in a long time that after the movie was over I was speechless. Same shyt with my girl. We just sat there in silence for 5 minutes after it was over.
it's a movie you never watch again though. shyt was fukking brutal.
