This July, one of the highest profile movies of the summer is coming right to your home on HBO Max, Space Jam: A New Legacy. In addition to that, the streaming service has plenty of TV shows, original series, and movies you’ll want to check out while you avoid the heat outside.

On July 16, the wait for animated basketball zaniness is over as Space Jam: A New Legacy arrives on HBO Max. The movie has been in the works for years and stars LeBron James as himself. He and his son are trapped in a world filled with stories and characters from the Warner Bros. archives. In order to get home, James and the Looney Tunes have to play basketball.

If you love What We Do In The Shadows, then you’ll love the TV series Wellington Paranormal, and Season 1 hits HBO Max on July 12. Created by Jemaine Clement and Taika Waititi, the series follows two police officers from New Zealand who are tasked with investigating paranormal phenomenon. It’s wildly funny, and currently, the series is in its third season–but not available in the US yet.

On July 1, there are plenty of movies headed to the service as well. The four original Planet of the Apes movies arrive, and 1972’s Conquest of the Planet of the Apes will be the extended version. Most importantly, though, 1993’s Demolition Man arrives. The sci-fi movie follows Sylvester Stallone as John Spartan, a police officer who is known for blowing things up, as he awakes from cryo-prison and has to apprehend Simon Phoenix (Wesley Snipes) in a world that doesn’t deal with hardened criminals anymore.

Below, you’ll find the full list of everything coming and going from HBO Max in July.

Hulu is the place to go for time-shifted TV watching, but the service has a deep library of content to rival that of Netflix, Disney+, and HBO Max. Between Hulu originals and licensed content, the service offers a wide variety of documentaries, from true crime stories like Sasquatch–which isn’t about Bigfoot at all–to human interest stories like Minding the Gap and Soleil Moon Frye’s Kid 90 film.

Year: 2018

Director: Bing Liu

Genre: Human Interest

Minding the Gap, by director Bing Liu, tells the story of how skateboarding shaped his and his friends’ lives. It’s not going to reveal any horrible truths about life, but it will let you into an intimate world of young kids growing up quickly.

Year: 2019

Director: Todd Douglas Miller

Genre: History

The Apollo 11 moon landing is one of the most thoroughly documented events in American history, so it’s hard to bring something new, but this documentary eschews talking heads for a more experiential look at the moment. Apollo 11 tells the story in the present tense with archival footage from NASA, and even the score uses instruments available at the time, in 1969, to complete the experience.

Year: 2019

Diriector: Penny Lane

Genre: Government/Activism

The Satanic Temple is the kind of thing you usually expect to hear about in frightened tones from pearl clutchers. This documentary looks at what the Satanic Temple–different from the Church of Satan–really gets up to, like fighting for social progress, the separation of church of state, and defense of human rights. Scary stuff.

Year: 2018

Directors: Betsy West, Julie Cohen

Genre: History/Government

This documentary covers the life of late Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, from the workouts she did to keep herself fit into her eighties to her many accomplishments to, of course, her detractors. This is a necessary documentary about the most well-known and influential modern Supreme Court Justice.

Year: 2020

Director: Nathan Grossman

Genre: Environmentalism

Can you imagine being a world-famous figure, getting attention from celebrities, politicians, and the public before you’re even 18? Environmental activist Greta Thunberg is no stranger to the attention at this point. Director Nathan Grossman began following Thunberg even before her weekly strikes helped propel her onto the world stage, and this documentary takes viewers behind the scenes to see Greta in the moments before her famous speeches.

Year: 2016

Director: Raoul Peck

Genre: Race/History

I am Not Your Negro, narrated by Samuel L. Jackson, tells the story of race in America through the writings of author James Baldon and the lives of him and other figures of the civil rights movement, and then connects that era to modern civil rights movements like Black Lives Matter.

Year: 2020

Director: Samuel D. Pollard

Genre: Race/History

From 1963 until his assassination on April 4, 1968, the FBI extensively surveilled Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. at the orders of FBI head J. Edgar Hoover. This documentary reminds us of how Americans perceived the civil rights leader at the time and goes into detail about all the ways the United States government and FBI in particular worked to discredit him.

Year: 2021

Director: Soleil Moon Frye

Genre: Pop culture/celebrity

We know Frye as Punky Brewster, but when she wasn’t wearing mismatched shoes and getting trapped in fridges, she was carrying around a video camera–back when they had their own bags–and documenting the lives of herself and her famous friends and their unique (and often destructive) childhood.

Year: 2017

Director: Josh Greenbaum

Genre: Pop culture/comedy

Remember that time Steve Carell, Stephen Colbert, Dana Carvey, and Robert Smiegel had their own show written by people like Bob Odenkirk (Mr. Show), Robert Carlock (30 Rock), and Dino Stamatopoulos (Community)? Probably not–the Dana Carvey show, which ran for only 8 episodes, was guaranteed to succeed thanks to its legendary cast but failed when the network gave them too much freedom and ended up with Bill Clinton breastfeeding babies during a White House address.

Year: 2020

Director: Scott Barber

Genre: Pop culture

Some of the documentaries in this list are hard-hitting, but The Orange Years is a love letter to the heyday of Nickelodeon in the late ’80s and early ’90s. The documentary goes all-in on nostalgia, covering everything from classic slime shows like You Can’t Do That On Television and Double Dare to shows like Are You Afraid of the Dark, All That and, of course, Doug. You won’t get any juicy gossip, but there’s tons of love to be had.

Year: 2017

Director: Christopher Quinn

Genre: Food

If you’ve ever even considered whether or not the meat you’re eating is ethical, you might want to check out Eating Animals. This documentary explores factory farming both in how it mistreats animals and the people working in the industry.

Year: 2019

Director: John Chester

Genre: Food/Human interest

Biggest Little Farm tells the story of two Los Angelinos who decide to leave their city life behind to make a life farming. The documentary covers triumphs and farm-destroying disasters like snails and coyotes. Rural nostalgia meets real world farming.

Year: 2013

Director: Gabriela Cowperthwaite

Genre: Animal rights

Killer whales are apex predators, the top of the food chain, and that makes them fascinating to watch, but dangerous to keep in captivity. Blackfish follows the story of captive orca Tilikum, involved in the deaths of three people.

Year: 2020

Director: Kief Davidson

Genre: True Crime

Based on the book of the same name, this documentary looks at the Zodiac Killer, from a different point of view. Gary Stewart, adopted as a child, seeks out his birth family. A sketch of the Zodiac Killer looks disconcertingly like his biological father, and things spiral from there as Stewart seeks the truth about his father–and maybe about the Zodiac Killer.

Year: 2021

Director: Joshua Rofé

Genre: True Crime

Ostensibly about the legendary forest creature, this documentary is really about the forests of northern California and the illegal cannabis farms that were squirreled away deep within. It starts light and gets dark quickly as investigator David Holthouse puts himself in more and more danger.

Year: 2019

Directors: Sheena M. Joyce, Don Argott

Genre: Celebrities/True Crime

The DMC DeLorean is one of the most iconic cars in the world thanks to its unique look and prominent place in 1985’s Back to the Future, but the story behind its creator is just as interesting. Alec Baldwin plays John DeLorean in this pseudo-documentary, which combines reenactments and behind-the-scenes footage to tell the story of a singular auto maker caught up in cocaine trafficking.

Year: 2021

Director: Jed Rothstein

Genre: Business

WeWork made its name providing rentable workspaces for people without offices, but the company quickly expanded far beyond its value and crashed as a result. This documentary looks at founder Adam Neumann, the company’s fast ascent, and his ousting following the scandal around the company’s IPO.

Year: 2018

Director: Andrea Blaugrund Nevins

Genre: Toys/Gender

The billion-selling doll known as Barbie lets its fans, young and old, pretend to be just about anything they want, but promotes an unhealthy body image. Tiny Shoulders dives deep into the history and cultural impact of Barbie.

Year: 2018

Director: Tim Wardle

Genre: Human interest

Actually being separated at birth is incredibly rare, but it’s a huge cultural trope. When it actually happens, as with triplets Bobby, Eddie and David, it makes news. This documentary follows the triplets from their initial meeting and into the investigation of just how they became separated. A seemingly whimsical story becomes sad and at times disturbing upon further investigation.

Year: 2019

Director: Benjamin Berman

Genre: Celebrity

The Amazing Jonathan is a memorable entertainer who combines magic and comedy. This documentary is less about the character himself and more about the making of the documentary, which gets weirder and weirder with each turn.

Sometimes the best Amazon Prime Day deals come from Amazon itself, and right now, you can save big on a hardwired Ring Doorbell packaged with an Echo Dot.

The Ring Doorbell/Echo Dot Bundle is now on sale for $45, a savings of $55 from its normal $100 price tag. Notably this bundle is the same price as the Ring Doorbell by itself, which is also discounted to $45 from its usual $60 price.

$45 (was $100)

Both the Ring Doorbell and the Echo Dot in this bundle are worth the amazing price. The Ring Doorbell included in the bundle is the hardwired version offering constant power and 1080p video for 24/7 security. The Echo Dot is the third generation of the device, including features like the Alexa digital assistant, Bluetooth connectivity for music streaming from your mobile device, and voice controls for connected smart home devices.

There are many other Amazon devices listed about the best Prime Day deals, including an Echo Dot 4th Gen bundled with a Bluetooth colored light bulb for $25 (down from $65). If you’re in the market for a tablet Amazon has you covered there too, as the Fire HD 10 tablet is down to $80 from its normal $150 price.

We’re tracking all of the best Amazon Prime Day deals as they release, from the best Prime Day TV deals to the best deals on smart home devices. Amazon isn’t the only place where you can save money however, as both Walmart’s Deals for Days promotion and Best Buy’s “The Bigger Deal” flash sale both are offering some great savings as well.

The new Suicide Squad trailer has been released. There’s a catch however–the trailer for James Gunn’s highly-anticipated DC movie can only be found be found as an ad on YouTube.

For those lucky enough to catch the new Suicide Squad promo, you’ll discover that it initially focuses on Idris Elba’s Bloodsport, who is very reluctant to join the Suicide Squad, the team of criminals assembled for dangerous missions by government agent Amanda Waller (Viola Davis). The trailer then introduces us to the whole crew, before delivering a lot of quickly-cut one liners and over-the-top action. There’s also an amazing shot of King Shark (Sylvester Stallone) riding the giant alien creature Starro and an amusing dig at Superman. While you’l have to hunt for the trailer, we can show you some new images from it–check them out below:

This is the latest of several recent Suicide Squad promos–there’s also this hilarious red-band trailer from March and a very different one that arrived a few weeks later. The movie also stars Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn, Jai Courtney as Captain Boomerang, and Joel Kinnaman as Rick Flag all of whom return from the 2016 Suicide Squad movie. New cast members include John Cena as Peacemaker, David Dastmalchian as Polka-Dot Man, Alice Braga as Sol Soria, Sean Gunn as Weasel, Michael Rooker as Savant, and Peter Capaldi as Thinker. It arrives in theaters and on HBO Max on August 6.

There’s also a spin-off show focusing on Peacemaker in the works at HBO Max. Gunn has written the entire series and it’s currently set to premiere in January 2022. In April, Gunn revealed some of the influences on the show, which include Better Call Saul, the video game series Dance Dance Revolution, the band Def Leppard, and the 1970s Captain America TV movie.

Gunn is also set to direct Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 movie for Marvel, which releases in May 2023, as well as a Guardians Holiday Special, which will hit Disney+ in late 2022.

The upcoming pirate comedy Our Flag Means Death has added some new cast members. The HBO Max series is executive produced by Thor Ragnarok and JoJo Rabbit director Taika Waititi, who will also act in the show and direct the pilot.

As reported by Variety, the latest actors to join the show include Kristian Nairn, best for playing Hodor in Game of Thrones, who will play a character named Wee John Feeney, plus Nathan Foad (Bloods) as Lucius, Samson Kayo (Truth Seekers) as Oluwanda, Rory Kinnear (Penny Dreadful) as both Captain Nigel Badminton and Chauncey Badminton, Con O’Neill (Chernobyl) as Izzy, and Vico Ortiz (American Horror Story: 1984) as Bonifacia.

Our Flag Means Death is created by David Jenkins and is loosely based on true adventures of Stede Bonnet, a wealthy landowner who gave up fancy living in 1717 to hit the high seas as a pirate. Rhys Darby (Flight of the Conchords) plays Bonnet, while Waititi will appear as dreaded pirate Blackbeard. The show doesn’t have a release date yet.

Our Flag Means Death is one of many new projects that Waititi is involved with. The prolific filmmaker’s upcoming sports comedy Next Goal Wins, starring Michael Fassbender, was shot in late 2019, and he recently wrapped production on the Marvel movie Thor: Love and Thunder, ahead of its February 2022 release. He’s also developing two animated Charlie and the Chocolate Factory series for Netflix, co-producing the FX comedy Reservation Dogs, and is attached to a future Star Wars movie.

Microsoft has announced the first three gaming monitors optimized for its Xbox Series X/S gaming consoles as part of the company’s Designed for Xbox program.

As noted in an Xbox Wire blog post, Microsoft collaborated with Acer, ASUS, and Philips to create gaming monitors that would take full advantage of the Xbox Series X/S hardware and support HDMI 2.1, which allows for higher resolutions and higher refresh rates.

In total, three monitors will debut with the Designed for Xbox stamp: Philips’ Momentum gaming monitor, ASUS’ Strix Xbox Edition Gaming Monitor, and Acer’s Xbox Edition Gaming Monitor. All three will release this year and include AMD’s FreeSync Premium Pro technology, which reduces screen tearing and 4K resolution and a refresh rate of 120Hz.

[widget path=”global/article/imagegallery” parameters=”slug=designed-for-xbox-monitors-announced&captions=true”]

Philips’ Momentum gaming monitor measures at 55 inches, and is described as a monitor that is “a TV and soundbar in one.” It features a dedicated Xbox picture mode, meaning players can have a high-contrast HDR with a VESA Certified DisplayHDR 1000, which allows for local dimming and peak luminance. This will be the first monitor to launch out of the trio with a slated summer launch and a steep retail price of $1600.

Asus’ ROG Strix Xbox Edition is a 43-inch gaming monitor with a moving picture response time of 1ms. Co-developed between Asus and the Designed for Xbox Team, the monitor is claimed to be the best monitor for color, contrast, and hue settings when connecting it to either a Series X/S console. Asus ROG Strix Xbox Edition will launch sometime in October of this year; pricing will depend on the region but in the US, it will cost $1,400.

Acer’s Xbox Edition Gaming Monitor is 28 inches, and Xbox claims it is among the first monitors to be TUV/Eyesafe certified, meaning it will minimize eye strain for gamers. Acer’s monitor is the most affordable, retailing for $950 and launch sometime this fall.

The news comes following Microsoft’s announcements to grow the Xbox ecosystem, yet still make its Xbox hardware the “flagship experience.” Alongside new gaming monitors designed for Xbox, the tech giant has begun thinking outside the box of traditional hardware devicies for gaming by way of Cloud Gaming and integrating the experience to everyday tech, like streming sticks and smart TVs.

I’m kind of surprised to see how popular 4K Blu-rays still are, but as someone who’s a sucker for new media, I get it. I’ve already dropped a few bucks here and there on 4K versions of movies I already own on DVD and Blu-ray. It’s also awesome to see Returnal getting a substantial price drop so soon after release. I haven’t tried it out yet, but the price is right and it’s calling me. I must remain strong, however.

No movie library is complete without some classic British films on the shelf, and you’d be hard-pressed to find a better collection of films than Edgar Wright’s Cornetto Trilogy that starred Simon Pegg and Nick Frost. For Amazon Prime Day, you can grab the cult classic films on a single Blu-Ray for the low price of $20–down from its usual price of $32–adding Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz, and The World’s End to your collection.

$20 (Was $32)

Edgar Wright’s classic series of films is now available in one convenient collection of zombie apocalypses, buddy cop action-adventures, and a pub crawl to decide the fate of the entire planet. All three films and a whole lot of special extras in this ultimate edition.

These aren’t the only deals that Amazon has on right now in its entertainment department, as you can grab a Prime Day TV boxset deal on numerous series. Be sure to also check out the best Prime Day TV deals right now.

If you’re still using the same guns from Season 3, your loadouts are going to be a bit outdated for this new season of Call of Duty: Warzone. Raven Software made some pretty impactful weapon tuning with the launch of Season 4, nerfing some overpowered weapons like the CR-56 AMAX assault rifle and Streetsweeper shotgun, while buffing some less popular choices. Changes to the barrel attachments for Cold War’s assault rifles and light machine guns will also require a little tweaking to your assault rifle loadouts.

Warzone Season 3 gave a pretty good mix of weapons to use, but Season 4’s balancing changes give the healthiest weapon pool variety we’ve ever seen in Warzone. Instead of getting sent to the gulag by the same overpowered weapon, players are branching out and using a variety of guns.

And this is just the start of what Raven has called “sweeping balance changes” to weapons with the aim of bringing the average time to kill to between 60-100 milliseconds. We’ll be updating our loadout recommendations as more weapon tuning changes arrive to Call of Duty: Warzone.

For now, here are some recommended gun builds to try in your next match of Warzone.

Best MG82 Loadout

The MG82 is Cold War’s newest light machine gun that arrived with Season 4, which has been absolutely beaming in Warzone with very little recoil. This is probably the only overpowered “broken” weapon currently found in Warzone, and Raven already announced a nerf is coming soon. However, if you’re wanting to make a class before or even after the nerf, there are certain attachments you’ll want to unlock and equip.

Recommended Attachments:

• Muzzle: Agency Suppressor
• Barrel: 16.4″ Task Force Barrel
• Ammunition: Fast Mag
• Rear Grip: Airborne Elastic Wrap
• Optic: Axial Arms 3x

Best FARA 83 Loadout

Cold War’s FARA 83 assault rifle is still a contender, and after the most recent nerf to the CR-56 AMAX, this might be one of the best assault rifles for Warzone. The FARA can be built as a great long-range weapon to be paired with a submachine gun.

Recommended Attachments:

• Muzzle: GRU Suppressor
• Barrel: 7″ Spetsnaz RPK Barrel
• Ammunition: Spetsnaz 60 Rnd
• Rear Grip: GRU Elastic Wrap
• Optic: Axial Arms 3x

Best CR58 Loadout

The CR58 is Cold War’s newest assault rifle added at the start of Season 4. In addition to the FARA 83, the CR58 is also a solid choice to replace the CR-56 AMAX for a long-range option to pair with a submachine gun.

Recommended Attachments:

• Muzzle: Agency Suppressor
• Barrel: 18.5″ Task Force
• Ammunition: STANAG 55 Rnd
• Rear Grip: Airborne Elastic Wrap
• Optic: Axial Arms 3x

Best XM4 Loadout

The XM4 assault rifle has always been viable, but receiving an additional buff for Season 4 makes it even more of a contender for the mid-range assault rifle. This assault rifle is great for pairing with a sniper.

Recommended Attachments:

• Muzzle: Agency Suppressor
• Laser: Tiger Team Spotlight
• Stock: Raider Pad
• Ammunition: 45 Rnd
• Rear Grip: Airborne Elastic Wrap

Best Stoner 63 Loadout

In addition to the MG82, the Stoner 63 is another solid light machine gun choice for Warzone, especially with Season 4’s buff to bullet velocity and effective damage range on the Task Force barrel. Just combine the Task Force barrel with Fast Mag and a Rear Grip attachment to help with the speed of wielding such a hefty weapon.

Recommended Attachments:

• Muzzle: Agency Suppressor
• Barrel: 21.8″ Task Force
• Ammunition: Fast Mag
• Rear Grip: Airborne Elastic Wrap
• Axials Arms 3x

Best Milano Loadout

Previously, the Milano was an undesirable submachine gun for Warzone, but Season 4’s balancing update brings this weapon from peashooter to a viable secondary weapon to pair with your favorite long-range gun. The PPSh-41, MAC-10, and LC10 submachine guns are all still popular in Season 4, but the Milano’s damage buffs make this a new contender for Warzone.

Recommended Attachments:

• Muzzle: Agency Suppressor
• Barrel: 10.6″ Task Force
• Laser: Tiger Team Spotlight
• Stock: Raider Stock
• Ammunition: STANAG 55 Rnd Drum

Best Kar98k Loadout

Modern Warfare’s Kar98k marksman rifle is still a top-tier sniper choice in Season 4, which pairs nicely with something like the mid-range XM4 build or the Milano submachine gun.

Recommended attachments:

• Muzzle: Monolithic Suppressor
• Barrel: Singuard Custom 27.6″ Barrel
• Laser: Tac Laser
• Optic: Sniper Scope
• Stock: STVOL Precision Comb

Again, the weapon balance is really healthy in Warzone, so if you don’t want to try something new like the Milano build, you won’t get punished for keeping guns like the PPSh-41, MAC-10, and LC10 in your loadouts. There is a great variety of submachine guns options for Season 4. However, the nerf to the Streetsweeper was pretty significant, so it’s time to put away that shotgun and try a new secondary.

Fortnite Season 7 Week 3 Challenges are coming this Thursday, June 24 at 7 AM PT / 10 AM PT, but ahead of their arrival, we’ve got the leaked list straight from the game’s files. With hundreds of thousands more XP to be gained, here’s the full list of new Fortnite challenges for Week 3 to give you a head start.

This week’s Epic Quests include several which can’t really be practiced since they include challenge-specific items that won’t appear until each related challenge is active on your Quest log. This includes things like how to collect cat food, how to place alien light communication devices on mountain tops, place welcome signs in Pleasant Park or Believer Beach, and how to place boomboxes in Believer Beach.

To converse with Sunny, Joey, or Beach Brutus, use our guide linked above. As for how to get Slone’s orders from a payphone, we assume this can be done at one of the many payphones around the island, but we’ll update this section if that proves to be incorrect.

As for the Legendary Quests, things are much simpler. To dance near a lit campfire, simply light one by interacting with it, then choose any emote. Whenever Fortnite instructions say to “dance,” any emote will do. Fishing Spots are the rippling spots in any body of water, so grab five total fish from there. To destroy boats, look for them near bodies of water and, if you’ve got the time, use your Pickaxe melee attack to conserve ammo. You can glide with a chicken by grabbing it and simply jumping.

To travel between Porta-Potties, enter one and it will spit you out from another nearby, like a short-distance fast-travel mechanic. Lastly, you can find nuts and bolts dropped by AI UFOs or inside red toolboxes scattered randomly around the island, often found in garages or at gas stations.

While you wait for these challenges to go live, there are plenty more available in the game right now thanks to Cosmic Summer. You can also catch up with what’s new the Fortnite 17.10 patch notes.
