Streaming Recommendations for July: A Blend of Music, Movies, and More
The summer months are a great time to catch up on the latest entertainment offerings. Here's a curated list of streaming picks for July, covering music, movies, and more, as selected by entertainment journalists. From Charli XCX's latest album to a pickleball movie and a spin-off of 'The Big Bang Theory', there's something for every taste.
Music
Charli XCX's 'Music, Fashion, Film': This album takes a bold step away from dance music, embracing a more troll-like, sincere, and distorted sound. The album's highlight is the collaboration with David Cronenberg on the track 'No One Lasts Forever'.
Tyla's 'A(asterisks)POP': Tyla's sophomore album continues her unique blend of R&B, pop, and amapiano. The album features a dancehall collaboration with Zara Larsson and the amapiano-pop track 'Chanel'.
Movies
'The Dink': A comedy starring Jake Johnson as a tennis pro who reluctantly takes up pickleball. The movie also features Ben Stiller, Mary Steenburgen, Ed Harris, and Patton Oswalt.
'72 Hours': A Netflix comedy starring Kevin Hart, who goes on a bachelor party trip with some twentysomethings. The cast includes Marcello Hernández, Kam Patterson, Ben Marshall, and Mason Gooding.
'Blue Heron': A documentary-fiction hybrid film directed by Sophy Romvari, based on her own childhood. The film explores the challenges of moving to a new country and is an aching, probing memory piece.
'Nirvanna the Band the Show the Movie': A silly, lo-fi indie film about two slacker buddies who concoct schemes to land a gig at a Toronto music venue. The film is a gem that references 'Back to the Future'.
TV Shows
'Stuart Fails to Save the Universe': A spin-off of 'The Big Bang Theory' starring Kevin Sussman as Stuart, a socially awkward comic bookstore owner. The show follows Stuart's efforts to undo chaos caused by a physics project created by Sheldon and Leonard.
'Ransom Canyon' Season 2: A romantic drama starring Minka Kelly and Josh Duhamel, who return for the second season. The show explores the challenges of small-town life and the family ranch.
Video Games
- 'Splatoon Raiders': A treasure hunt video game for the Switch, featuring a vivid twist on the multiplayer combat arena. Players must collect treasure to beef up their gear and defeat hostile wildlife known as Salmonids.
These streaming picks offer a diverse range of entertainment, from music to movies and TV shows. Whether you're a fan of comedy, drama, or action, there's something for everyone to enjoy this July.
