Clifford – Hulu 10/1
Raising Arizona – Prime 10/1
Black Widow – Disney+ 10/6
In the Heights – HBO Max 10/28
No, that first pick isn’t Clifford the Big Red Dog. That’s( slated to hit theaters and Paramount+ in November.) This is the cult classic starring Martin Short as a 10-year-old boy (yes, really), who relentlessly tortures his uncle (Charles Grodin) after breaking a promise to him. It’s pretty insane, especially for a PG-rated film, but it provides a lot of laughs, provided you’re on its wavelength.
It’s almost impossible to pick one, but if you ask me today, I’d say Raising Arizona is still my favorite Coen Brothers movie. All of their touchstones – schmucks pulling a scheme, absurd characters, gorgeous cinematography – are present here, in just their second film. It’s might be a top 5 comedy for me, too.
And if you missed your chance to see Black Widow or In the Heights when they were in theaters or previously on the service ($30 for the former, and free for the latter), you can now watch them in perpetuity, or at least until rights issues cause them to leave again.

Dopesick – Hulu 10/13
Succession (Season 3) – HBO Max 10/17
There probably aren’t a lot of people who aren’t aware of Seinfeld and don’t have a strong opinion on it. (I say it’s a top 5 show of all time.) But if you somehow have lived under a rock for the past 30 years, you can now watch it all on Netflix. They picked it up after Hulu’s rights expired, giving them a 90s sitcom to binge. I’ll be doing just that.
Get ready for the most depressing show of the year! Hulu’s big limited series this fall is based on the titular non-fiction book about America’s opioid epidemic. Michael Keaton stars as a doctor prescribing pills, Kaitlyn Dever as one of his patients, and Michael Stuhlbarg as evil billionaire Richard Sackler.
And finally after a COVID-related production delay, HBO’s biggest show is back. I didn’t watch the first two seasons as they aired, but got hooked over a vacation in 2020. I couldn’t be more excited, especially after that explosive finale.
