Star Trek Movie Marathon – IMDB TV
CBS
If you’ve been missing Star Trek during this strange time then you’ll be happy to know that IMDB TV is adding a whole bundle of Trek movie classics this month. Beginning with Star Trek Beyond, the streamer is also adding Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home, Star Trek: First Contact, Star Trek: The Motion Picture, Star Trek V: The Final Frontier, Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country, Star Trek Generations, and Star Trek: Nemesis. So basically get ready to boldly go where no man has gone before!
In Fabric – Kanopy
A24
One of the best things about Kanopy is the fact that it holds A24’s sprawling catalog of arthouse gems. From The Lighthouse to Midsommar there are plenty of lauded flicks to pick from but this month we’re highlighting this lesser-seen masterpiece of the weird. Berberian Sound System and Duke of Burgundy director Peter Strickland is behind this stunning horror. Marianne Jean-Baptiste stars as a lonely woman who falls in love with a beautiful red dress that hides a dangerous and dark secret.
I Am Not Your Negro – Hoopla
Amazon Studios
If you still haven’t watch Raoul Peck’s stunning documentary that aims to complete James Baldwin’s unfinished novel there’s never been a better time. “Originally planned as a revolutionary account of the work, lives, and assassinations of his friends Malcolm X, Medgar Evers, and Martin Luther King Jr, Baldwin died before he could finish, but this doc from Raoul Peck—narrated by Samuel L. Jackson—uses letters and writing by Baldwin to create something truly unique.”
