What’s on at Hulu in August 2020
In the early days of isolation – when I tried to convince myself that by summer everything could be back to normal, even though I knew I was fooling myself – I didn’t want to watch any movie other than 1980s comedy. But after about five months, I’m so numb with the horrors of everyday existence that I can observe all things again without sinking into a puddle of fear (I now live in a puddle of fear), so I’m happy to see the varied list of new films coming to Hulu in August. Here’s what’s on my list: Peanut Butter Falcon : This 2019 indie film follows a young man with Down Syndrome (Zach Gottsagen) who runs away from his house with service and flies down the river with the help of a fisher-turned-thief (Shia LeBuff). Reviews are almost unanimous in their praise , and no one is more surprised than me that LeBuff has had a really interesting career (if you have Amazon Prime, you need to watch Honey Boy , a Roman key written by a former teenage actor who describes his tumultuous stellar childhood). Ordinary Love: I’m not so overwhelmed I can’t enjoy a good tear, so I’m looking forward to seeing this well-reviewed 2019 drama starring Liam Neeson in the rare late-career form of an invincible terrorist, as half a pair, which has had a strong marriage for decades. When his wife (Leslie Manville) is diagnosed with cancer, it makes them look back at their relationship and wonder what life would be like without each other. The story of perseverance in the face of struggle sounds exactly what I need right now. Slay the Dragon: Talk of the evils of gerrimandering has defined the last few electoral cycles, so I can’t wait to see this new documentary exploring the organization and implementation of the “secret high-tech gerrimandering initiative launched 10 years ago that threatens to undermine our democracy.” The reviews were strong , but this is probably because they were all bought and paid for by the left-wing media clique, amyrit? Booze: This is basically the same premise as The Purge , but instead of a day during which all crime is unregulated, it is built around a single day of the year when drugs and alcohol are allowed. In other words, this is no less ridiculous and ripe premise for satire. And the stars of Vince Vaughn! It used to be funny! Here is a complete list of arrivals and departures from Hulu in August.
