In an effort to both serve our readers and help support The A.V. Club, we are going to post daily links to deals and interesting items that we find over on Amazon. If you use these links to click through and buy something—not just the thing you clicked—on Amazon, we will see a portion of that income. You don’t have to do that if you don’t want to, but if you do, know that we appreciate it.

American Ultra, Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation (free with Prime membership)

Both the latest Mission Impossible and the Jesse Eisenberg-Kristen Stewart vehicle were just added to Amazon Prime streaming, meaning anyone who’s subscribed—or in the midst of a 30-day free trial—can watch these movies at home for free. All of Amazon’s new pilots—Jean Claude Van Damme’s Jean Claude Van Johnson, The Tick, and Kevin Bacon’s I Love Dick—are also available to stream for free on the site right now.

Hisense 40-inch smart TV ($249.88)

Act fast, because these cheap flat-screens usually sell out before the end of the day.
