June is Pride Month (hooray!) and it’s also Month Two of the 2023 summer movie season (hooray?), so Prime Video is turning up the heat with a variety of features that honor Pride Month, as well as the blockbusters that have come to define summer. This month’s highlights include Air, the Ben Affleck-directed biographical sports drama about the Air Jordan basketball shoe, True Lies, starring Oscar winner Jamie Lee Curtis and Arnold Schwarzenegger, Ang Lee’s tragic gay romance Brokeback Mountain, and M3GAN, a future camp classic about a hostile AI-enhanced robot made to look like a little girl.

Speaking of robots … we’re not sure what kind of night you’re having on June 27, but if you start it by streaming , it’s going to be a PARTY (in all caps). The sci-fi/horror movie starring Allison Williams, Violet McGraw, and Ronny Chieng was a surprise hit and has developed a cult following of fans drawn to the campy premise of a lifelike, violently sassy robotic doll who protects a little girl from bullies. We’re not sure if Prime Video is streaming the theatrical or unrated version, but we’re hoping it’s the latter.
