It’s almost September, the month where everybody’s sick of the warm weather, grumbling about going back to school, and/or complaining about how Pumpkin Spice Lattes are available too early. It’s also time for some new stuff to come to Amazon Prime, though, which should be more fun than all three of those things. This…
For whatever reason, stories about the United States being taken over by tyrannical regimes are still just as hot as ever, and Amazon is going to continue riding the trend by picking up its Philip K. Dick adaptation The Man In The High Castle for a fourth season. This announcement comes months before the show’s third…
We’re deep in the hot days of summer, and there’s no better way to cool off than by jumping into the ocean and going on a journey in a colorful submersible. Granted, you won’t feel a refreshing splash of water if you’re in a submersible, but we needed a way to introduce the fact that Yellow Submarine is now streaming…
We’re moving into the hottest, nastiest parts of the summer soon, and with them, a rising urge in our desires to hide in our dark rooms and just let the TV do all the tricky thinking. Luckily, Amazon released its upcoming updates to its library of streaming content on its Prime subscription service today, allowing us…
Four years after its release, the hottest summer movie event of 2014 is finally making its streaming debut on Amazon Prime. We speak, of course, of Leprechaun: Origins, the film that answers the question: Once you’ve been to space and the hood, where else is there to go? (The answer is Ireland—or British Columbia,…
Because nothing says “Whoo, we posted record profits this year!” like trying to get a little somethin’ more, Variety reports that Amazon has decided to celebrate a banner Q1 2018 for itself by bumping up the prize for its package delivery service/subscription TV plan Amazon Prime. The price for the service—which…
The highlights of Amazon Prime’s streaming offerings in any given month are usually the big-name movie premieres, like last month’s The Florida Project or, uh, Valerian And The City Of A Thousand Planets from March, but the biggest addition in May is (arguably) a TV show for kids—specifically kids with a fondness for…
There’s a great moment in the first-season finale of Sneaky Pete that encapsulates much of the feel of the show: As Marius Josipovic (Giovanni Ribisi) believes he’s finally free of his scam as Pete Murphy and all the lying and stealing and keeping secrets that comes with it, he’s kidnapped by two men. They tell him…
Amazon announced next month’s crop of new Prime offerings today, teasing fans of the service with new seasons of a couple of the company’s original series—most notably, the return of Giovanni Ribisi’s Sneaky Pete. Criminal bouts of faked identity aren’t the only thing on the Prime docket, though; there’s also a new…
Amazon Prime—a.k.a. the only streaming service whose offerings include The Man In The High Castle, Transparent, and free shipping any time you buy a new pair of headphones or a bag of dog food from the internet—is about to get a little more pricey. For some users, at least: Recode reports today that the service is…
February is generally regarded as a month for love, and while Amazon Prime’s streaming offerings for next month do have a nod toward that—namely the Stinky & Dirty Valentine’s Day Special—the real heart-shaped box will be the second half of The Tick’s first season. It won’t premiere until the end of the month, but at…
New Year’s Day is on its way, and with it, the usual efforts to recover from revelry-based ordeals of New Year’s Eve. Really, it’s the perfect day to curl up with a laptop, cruise over to Amazon Prime, and let Molly Shannon and Will Ferrell yell at you for a couple of hours.
One fun aspect of Amazon’s video streaming platform is that, unlike literally every other TV network and streaming service, it releases the pilots for its potential new shows to the public, giving the filthy normal people a chance to vote on which shows move forward and which get banished to the land of wind and…
November is one of those months that usually involves spending a lot of time with family (or your cool group of friends, or their families, or whatever), and Amazon Prime is looking out for all of us with a new selection of largely crowd-pleasing streaming content that everybody should be able to get on board with.…
As Amazon, erstwhile online book dealer turned all-providing mother, continues its slow incursion into our brick-and-mortar world by putting its stamp on convenience stores and grocery stores, creating robot assistants to take care of you at home, cars to run in our streets, and drones to fill up our skies, the…
Netflix has Black Mirror and Hulu is getting the Stephen King-inspired Castle Rock, and it looks like Amazon is ready to compete with both of them thanks to Philip K. Dick’s Electric Dream, an anthology series telling stories based on the work of the eponymous sci-fi writer. As seen in this trailer, Electric Dreams …
In theory, there’s a lot of dramatic potential in the setup for the second half of this season of Transparent. The rest of the American Pfeffermans (minus Simon and Sarah and Len’s kids) arrive in Israel to meet Moshe, prompting a slight confrontation with his other family and kicking off a road trip that will consume…
October is one of the spookiest months of the year (some might say it’s even the spookiest), and Amazon Prime is going to have some appropriately frightening offerings to stream next month. In terms of originals, Prime is getting the first season of podcast adaptation Lore, which tells the true histories behind some…
This full trailer for Lore, Amazon’s TV adaptation of the hit podcast of the same name, suggests that “the scariest stories are true.” That’s a good tagline, but this trailer also sells that idea pretty well with its selection of clips from dramatic reenactments, which range from fantastical stuff like exorcisms and…
Though we’ve received just two casting announcements from the new Amazon Prime series Carnival Row, one thing is already clear: This show is going to have some weird character names.
