- Midsommar brings cult horror into the lightA follow-up to the terrifying Hereditary, Midsommar, available on Netflix, delves into grief, relationships and some good old-fashioned cult horror.
Streaming Wars host Colin Chisholm discusses why Midsommar works, while not delivering the jump-out-of-your-seat scares, it is dripping in fairy tale terror.

There are better spooky shows and movies out there worth checking out.

Most of the major streaming networks featured updated documentaries on the horrific attacks 20 years ago — but this feature film hyper-focuses on one element, the people that are left behind and how they’re treated.
With Michael Keaton as the lawyer tasked with compensating the victims, he has a tough job ahead.

From poor modern song choices to rough performances, Cinderella suffers from many, many failures that bring everything down despite some neat ideas that just don’t land.

It’s a surprisingly interesting and hilarious romp with Steve Martin, Martin Short and Selena Gomez that is worth checking out. It’s not ground-breaking by any means, but sometimes it’s nice to have a trusty, reliable show each week.

The results are mixed, but it’s still exciting to see Marvel’s iconic heroes take on new forms and settings — especially with so many of the cinematic cast coming back to lend their voice.

Netflix’s original baking competition Nailed It! where three amateur bakers compete to make the least-awful looking confection is perfect comfort food.
The show’s host Nicole Byer is particularly hilarious with her commentary, improv and reactions. Season six is out on Sept. 15.
