Streaming Picks: June 2019

Top Picks
True Grit (2010) – Hulu and Prime 6/29
Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse – Netflix 6/26
The Coen Brothers’ take on the John Wayne Western is one of the best remakes of all time, featuring phenomenal performances from Jeff Bridges and Hailee Steinfeld. The film infamously went 0-10 at the Oscars, which is a real shame. At least it was the brothers’ biggest box office hit, earning more than $250 million worldwide. It of course features gorgeous cinematography from Roger Deakins.

But at least the Academy got 2018’s Animated Feature Oscar right, bestowing the usually Disney-reserved award upon Sony’s breathtaking and surprisingly moving journey through the many Spider-Men (and women) of the multi-verse. You’ll be dazzled, but you may want to bring some tissues.

Top Picks
Documentary Now! (Season 3) – Netflix 6/3
The Handmaid’s Tale (Season 3) – Hulu 6/5
Season 3 was the first time I got to see this hilarious anthology series as it aired live, but if you missed it, now’s your chance to catch up. (The first two seasons are also on here.) What Bill Hader, Fred Armisen, Seth Meyers and their team have done, creating hilarious parodies of wildly different documentaries, is nothing short of astonishing.

Imagine a world where women who can bear children are forced to do so, and America inches closer to a theocracy? Insane, right?! The Handmaid’s Tale is back for Season 3, and will hopefully justify some of the more baffling decisions they made in the Season 2 finale. It’s not like this show has any real-world parallels to draw on or anything.
