We truly are living in the golden age of television, aren’t we? There are more good shows and movies available now than ever before in history. And it’s all thanks to our favorite online streaming services.
Speaking of our favorite online streaming services, here’s what’s new for the month of August 2021 on HBO and HBO Max.
From writer/director James Gunn comes The Suicide Squad, featuring a collection of the most degenerate delinquents in the DC lineup — including Bloodsport, Peacemaker, Captain Boomerang, Ratcatcher 2, Savant, King Shark, Blackguard, Javelin and everyone’s favorite criminal, Harley Quinn.
August also brings action thriller Reminiscence starring Hugh Jackman, Rebecca Ferguson and Thandiwe Newton. Nick Bannister (Jackman), a private investigator of the mind, navigates the darkly alluring world of the past by helping his clients access lost memories. Living on the fringes of the sunken Miami coast, his life is forever changed when he takes on a new client, Mae (Ferguson). A simple matter of lost and found becomes a dangerous obsession.
In addition to The Suicide Squad, HBO Max delivers even more DC Universe content with season three of the popular superhero series Titans. This month also brings the documentary Obama: In Pursuit of a More Perfect Union, the premiere of the streetwear competition series The Hype, the new unscripted series from Issa Rae Sweet Life: Los Angeles, and season two of The Other Two, which makes its transition from Comedy Central to HBO Max with all new episodes.
HBO Sports and NFL Films’ sports reality series Hard Knocks: The Dallas Cowboys also debuts in the month, with an all-access look at what it takes to make it in the National Football League. The weekly companion Hard Knocks Podcast, hosted by NFL Network’s Good Morning Football co-host Peter Schrager, will present a new edition for five consecutive weeks and take fans behind the scenes breaking down each episode with former players, analysts, and people on the ground at the Dallas Cowboys training camp.
A-list films including the Jurassic Park trilogy, Inception, Malcolm X, Constantine, The Great Gatsby and The Shawshank Redemption also all debut in the month.
