Can y'all smell the circus, Georgie?

IT (2017)

Recommended by Daniel Rubino, executive editor

I'm non really into horror, only I practise like creepy and Stephen King's IT from 2022 checks all the right boxes. Great acting, a cast you intendance for, and a dancing, scary clown who happens to similar murdering kids. I remember seeing this pic in Maine (where the story takes place) on a nighttime tranquility night.

Similar The Shining (1980), The Exorcist (1973), and Rosemary'due south Baby (1968) It will easily go down as a classic in horror. Will the sequel exist any good? Who knows, only you can now relive this excellent movie before you see it. The all-time part? For the next few days it'southward on auction for $vii.99 and that includes the 4K UHD version (if available in your market).

Makin' upward for lost time

Booksmart

Recommended by Al Sacco, managing editor

I watched this moving picture last weekend, and I loved it. It's a unique have on the high-schoolhouse comedy drama, which more frequently than not seems to be geared at a male audience, or at to the lowest degree focused more on male characters. "Booksmart" does everything I dear virtually the genre well, but it flips it sideways past focusing on two female protagonists. And different many like films, information technology doesn't overdo information technology with the juvenile humor.

The gist of the moving picture is that two young women who disrepair their asses through 4 years of loftier school to become skillful grades and secure a time to come realize it was all for naught. Well, perchance not for nothing, just all the kids who chose partying over studying seem to exist simply as well position for the futurity. And so the two heroines decide to make up for lost fourth dimension. It'due south a smart, authentic, well-written and genuinely funny film I know I'll terminate up watching again.

Welcome, to the world of tomorrow!

Futurama

Recommended by Sean Endicott, news writer

Futurama is one of my all-fourth dimension favorite shows. It's quick-witted humor centered around a dimwitted protagonist, Fry. The testify takes place in the year 3,000 afterwards Fry is frozen on New Twelvemonth's Eve 1999. In the distant future, Fry is an intergalactic delivery boy who gets into all sorts of ridiculous situations. Just a few of his escapades include accidentally becoming the ruler of a planet later on drinking its emperor and delivering a parcel to a planet of killer robots. The writing staff of the evidence has numerous doctorates and degrees, so the writing is more than clever than the premise sounds.

Cowboy Bebop

Recommended by Dan Thorp-Lancaster, news editor

Cowboy Bebop is heralded as one of the greatest anime serial of all time, and for good reason. Everything about it is unique, from the delightfully jazzy soundtrack to the pace of the action and depth of the overarching plot.

Taking place in the year 2071, Cowboy Bebop follows a crew of bounty hunters who are always struggling to just become by equally they traverse across the galaxy in search of their targets. Merely the show is a lot deeper and far less sci-fi than that curt clarification might suggest. It'southward got a very noir quality to it, and it's difficult not to notice yourself deeply invested in each character's arc.

Get us a pint

Still Game

Recommended by Cale Chase, staff author

Past luck I stumbled on Still Game, a Scottish comedy that revolves around ii aging pensioners, Jack and Victor. Their spouses long gone, they rely on each other for visitor and for getting in and out of problem in their hometown of Craiglang, in one case a dainty place but now, in their words, "a shitehole."

The humor is dry, the writing isn't too anticipated, and the cast of characters around them each have a strong personality and tin take on an unabridged episode'south plot. If, similar me, you're non used to the thick emphasis and unique phrases and terms, use subtitles for the first season to get a hang of information technology.

Music

Never forgotten

Linkin Park — Road to Revolution

Recommended by Richard Devine, Reviews Editor

Linkin Park supplied the soundtrack to my teenage years, and while the band's life was concluded by tragedy, the greatness will live on forever. I've been fortunate plenty to see them alive multiple times over the years, but this one was easily the best. One of the finest live shows I've ever been to.

Road to Revolution was recorded at Milton Keynes in the United kingdom 11 years agone, the band headlining their own mini festival that also featured the likes of NERD, Pendulum and Jay-Z. Linkin Park will always exist special to me, and the icing on the cake was seeing for myself a picayune snippet of the infamous Collision Course collaboration right at the end. A live album that never slows down, never disappoints.
