It’s back-to-school time, but for Hulu it’s business as usual as more classics make their way to the streaming service. That’s not to say Mad Max: Fury Road is the best movie ever made, but it certainly ranks pretty high on any best list. The George Miller-directed sequel starring Tom Hardy and Charlize Theron debuts on Hulu in September, months before its prequel, Furiosa, arrives in theaters next May. Other fan favorites on deck for Hulu include Steven Spielberg’s Ready Player One, the Coen brothers’ Raising Arizona, and David Fincher’s Se7en. Also added to the streaming platform in September is the Oscar-nominated The Banshees Of Inisherin, the comedy-drama Sanctuary, the sci-fi mystery-thriller Simulant, and more.

In the futuristic sci-fi mystery-thriller , Robbie Amell plays an android named Evan who was built for Faye (Jordana Brewster) to replace her dead husband. After Evan seeks out a hacker to remove all restrictions on his personality, he ignites an A.I. uprising. With A.I. on everyone’s mind nowadays, could this be where we are heading? Amell, who plays a virtual being on the Amazon series Upload, seems to be carving out a niche for himself in sci-fi projects such as Simulant. The movie, directed by April Mullen, also stars Simu Liu and Sam Worthington.

  • spidyredneckjedi-av says:

    Wow, no mention of Theater Camp. Bold decision there A.V. Club.

    I recently read Indiewires’ Best films from the 1980s and didn’t see this film mentioned, but Time Bandits did. TB is unwatchable.

    The Banshees Of Inisherin… In Bruges…Colin Farrell and Brendan GleesonI’d watch those two play off each other in literally anything and be spellbound.
    Well, maybe not a sparkling review of a Nazi concentration camp, and definitely not BDSM porn, so I guess I’d watch them in ALMOST anything.———It’s weird – IMDB gives Taurus a sub-5 star rating, while both tomato percentages are 62% critic and 91% audience.
    Still trying to decide if I should give this a shot. I have no idea who Machine Gun Kelly is, so I’m leaning towards no.Tell me what I should do!

      Machine Gun Kelly is banging with Megan Fox.

      Machine Gun Kelly is a rapper turned punk singer. He started as a bit of rockstar type rapper and tried to emulate the rockstars of the 80s for his on stage performances, but he’s more of an eccentric artist type nowadays it seems. He’s had a few minor roles in other movies and seemed to play those parts well enough. Seeing as he has personally dealt with the whole addiction & music fame thing, Taurus may actually pretty good if you’re interested in the premise. I don’t generally care for drama type movies for my entertainment, but I am a fan of MGK’s music, so I’ll probably give it a watch on those grounds. If you like dramas, it will likely be one of those where you watch and generally enjoy, but don’t return to.
