What’s Streaming on Netflix in August 2020
Netflix is getting prehistoric in August 2020. The first three Jurassic Park films are stomping over to the streaming giant, leaving the newly minted confines of Peacock only 17 days after launching. That kind of coup would impress even the likes of Ian Malcolm. That’s not all! Those flicks join an onslaught of legitimate popcorn classics in The Addams Family, The NeverEnding Story, Mad Max, A Knight’s Tale, and Seabiscuit. Okay, maybe that last one is more wine and cheese than buttered popcorn… Hey, speaking of the wine and cheese crowd, Netflix is also bringing some high class cerebral fare. There’s An Education, Being John Malkovich, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, and one of our personal favorites in Nightcrawer. In terms of originals, Netflix’s premiering a ton of documentaries...

Uncut Gems Now Streaming on Netflix
Want to add an anxiety attack to your Memorial Day weekend? Uncut Gems is on Netflix. Featuring Adam Sandler’s greatest role to date — an Oscar snub that even the Sandman agrees with — the Safdie brothers’ unnerving thriller centers around a Jewish jeweler drowning in debt amidst New York’s Diamond District. The film also stars The Weeknd, Idina Menzel, Lakeith Stanfield, Kevin Garnett, and Julia Fox. Editors’ Picks One of the 10 best films of 2019, our own Brett Arnold wrote in his glowing review for Consequence of Sound: “It’s grim, to be sure, but it’s packaged as a nail-biting thriller, one that builds to an amazing high-wire-act of a finale that turns a 2012 Celtics playoff game into the most important thing you’ve ever seen in cinema.” Consequence of Sound also spoke to the Saf...
The Fuck? Jonah Hill Passes Samuel L. Jackson for Most Swear Words in Film
Jonah Hill (Paramount Pictures) and Samuel L. Jackson (Walt Disney Studios) In some literal “what the fuck?” news, a new report from Buzz Bingo reveals that Jonah Hill has passed Samuel L. Jackson for the most swear words spoken in cinema history. Via The Wrap, Hill has cursed 376 times on film, compared to a mere 301 bad words from the original BAMF. That’s actually only good enough for third place, as Leonardo DiCaprio takes the spot right behind Hill with 361 expletives. According to an analysis of over 3,5000 movie scripts, Jackson lost the invective apex way back in 2013, which is also when The Wolf of Wall Street became the most profane movie of all time. That foulmouthed flick almost singlehandedly pushed Hill into first place and DiCaprio into second. Not coincidentally, ...
