Here's What's New To All Of The Streaming Platforms In August
This summer movie season has mostly sucked—just take a look at the archive of our reviews from contributor Peter Labuza and you'll notice they slowly descend into a cry for help from the depths of the multiplex. Instead of having to sit through another sequel, remake or superhero movie, why not just sit at home, crack open an ice cold La Croix and enjoy whatever is streaming? Here's what's coming to Amazon Prime, HBO Now, Hulu and Netflix in August.
