Let’s be honest August used to be that awkward in-between month. Summer’s winding down, but fall hasn’t really kicked in yet. You’re either melting under the heat or stuck indoors wondering what to watch. But this year? August isn’t playing around. It’s packed with sequels, gritty dramas, animated madness, and even some surprise comebacks that no one asked for but we’re kind of excited about anyway. So, if your idea of a perfect evening involves popcorn and a screen, you’re in luck.
These animated anti-heroes might be a bunch of cartoon animals, but they’ve got more charisma than half the human casts out there. The Bad Guys 2 takes everything that made the first one fun chaotic friendships, ridiculous heists, slick animation and cranks it up a notch. It’s one of those rare sequels that doesn’t try too hard, but still delivers harder laughs and tighter action. Ideal for kids? Sure. But adults will probably laugh harder.
Let’s start with this: Jason Momoa in a loincloth fighting for his people in 1700s Hawaii. That alone is reason enough. But Chief of War isn’t just eye candy it’s surprisingly layered. There’s blood and power, yes, but also identity, pride, and some seriously good cinematography. If you’re tired of watching European kings fight over castles, this island-based power struggle might be the refreshing twist you didn’t know you needed.
Remember when Liam Neeson was the guy threatening kidnappers over the phone? Well, now he’s slipping on banana peels and delivering punchlines. The reboot of The Naked Gun is weird, and that’s exactly why it works. It leans hard into the absurdity, dragging Neeson’s serious persona into a world of chaos and comedy. Is it genius? Maybe not. But it’s got charm, and sometimes that’s all you need on a lazy Saturday night.
Marvel fans, take note Eyes of Wakanda isn’t your average spandex-and-lasers kind of show. It’s animated, yes, but it dives into the ancient roots of the Wakandan protectors. Think legends, secrets, and a bit of that signature Marvel flair. It doesn’t scream blockbuster, but that’s its strength. It’s slower, more thoughtful, and a nice breather from the usual multiverse chaos. Plus, the animation? Slick as hell.
It’s not just the braids or the deadpan delivery there’s something oddly comforting about watching Wednesday Addams navigate boarding school drama and creepy monsters. Season 2 drops with even more puzzles, sarcastic one-liners, and gothic vibes that somehow feel modern. Is it groundbreaking TV? Not really. But it gets the tone just right. And honestly, it’s nice to see a teenage heroine who’s not trying to be "relatable" she’s just unapologetically strange, and that’s her power.
