NOW STREAMING:

‘The Munsters’ (Netflix)

Rob Zombie’s feature film adaptation of the classic 60s sitcom The Munsters has finally arrived! It’s kitschy fun to the extreme – a colorful and playful throwback that’s genuinely funny and endlessly impressive with its Halloweentown style aesthetic and designs. It’s a tribute to the sitcom that clearly comes from the heart, with Zombie being a self-confessed lifelong fan of the series that has been wanting to make this particular movie for decades.

Discover a life both known and unknown in this boldly imaginative film from writer and director Andrew Dominik that explores the complicated life of Hollywood icon Marilyn Monroe.

Bette Midler, Sarah Jessica Parker and Kathy Najimy reunite for the live-action, long awaited sequel to the perennial Halloween classic, which brings back the delightfully wicked Sanderson sisters for more comedic mayhem.

‘Hostages’ (HBO Max)

On November 4, 1979, Iranian student activists stormed the U.S. embassy in Tehran, taking over 60 Americans hostage. What was planned as a 48-hour sit-in to protest American imperialism, ballooned into an international crisis and 24/7 media event that would last 444 days. With never-before-seen archival footage and revelatory new interviews with the American hostages and Iranian hostage-takers alike, the series is a gripping chronicle of one of the most dramatic international deadlocks in American history, a deep dive into the geo-political history that led to the crisis, and an exploration of the political fallout that reverberates today.

‘Bodies Bodies Bodies’ (VOD)
