How to Blow Up a Pipeline – Hulu 8/24
One of the year’s best films, Daniel Goldhaber adapts Andreas Malm’s climate activism treatise into an edge-of-your-seat thriller with piercing moral clarity. A must-see.

NEW SHOWS & SPECIALS
Top Pick
Reservation Dogs (Season 3) – Hulu 8/2
Sterlin Harjo recently announced this will be the final season of one of the best shows on TV. While I’m certainly sad to see it go, he’s ending this deeply personal dramedy – about four teens living on a reservation in Oklahoma – on his own terms and, most likely, a high note.

Other Recommendations
Only Murders in the Building (Season 3) – Hulu 8/8
Chris Fleming: Hell – Peacock 8/18
