Eyes Wide Shut – Hulu 12/1
Mank – Netflix 12/4
Sound of Metal – Prime 12/4
Stanley Kubrick’s final film has returned to Hulu, just in time for a supremely fucked up holiday season. If you’ve been putting it off, it might just be fitting in a year that seems to make no sense.
Mank and Sound of Metal are Oscar hopefuls from Netflix and Amazon. The former, the latest from David Fincher, is sure to be the frontrunner, a historical bit of fiction about the making of Citizen Kane. The latter, featuring the great Riz Ahmed as a drummer going deaf, will likely find itself with at least a Best Actor and Best Sound nomination.

Top Picks
Selena: The Series – Netflix 12/4
Mad About You (Complete Series) – Prime 12/8
Netflix’s limited series (of which the first part debuts on December 4) has a lot to live up to, considering Selena was one of the most beloved musicians of the late 20th Century, and that the movie starring Jennifer Lopez is one of the few good music biopics. I’m sure that pressure is not lost on the creators of this show.
One of the most successful (ratings- and awards-wise) shows of the ’90s has been memory-holed, mostly because it wasn’t available anywhere (unless you were a Spectrum cable subscriber). But that changes when the Paul Reiser-Helen Hunt sitcom makes its streaming debut.
