Must-See Movies and TV Shows For August 2018
July has been a good month for television so far. The third season of Last Chance U has been enjoyable with a new cast, Succession continues to be the best show on TV, and Glow and Sharp Objects both have folks everywhere engaged. Plus, we still have the sixth season of Orange is the New Black on deck (7/27). As for movies, everyone with an eyeball for cinema should find an arthouse nearby and buy a ticket for Don’t Worry, He Won’t Get Far On Foot — it’s the best film of the year, so far. With all that said, let’s look ahead to August and see what we can get excited over.
