The weather is getting colder, Starbucks is stocking up on Pumpkin Spice Lattes, and the kids are in school … it must be fall! Summer 2024 is soon to be over, but that doesn’t mean there will be a lack of content to watch at home.

Just look at HBO and Max in September. The big debut is The Penguin, a spinoff of the hugely popular 2022 film The Batman starring Colin Farrell as the famous DC villain. There’s also the final season of the brilliant My Brilliant Friend, and the streaming debuts of Civil War, The Boy and the Heron, and I Saw the TV Glow. With all these great movies and TV shows, who has time for work?

10 years ago, the most underrated crime movie of the 2010s was a box office failure

Doc watches Shasta on a beach in Inherent Vice.

For much of his career, Paul Thomas Anderson has excavated the grimy, sun-soaked past of California, the state he was born in and has long called home. In Boogie Nights, he explored the pornography boom of the late 1970s in the San Fernando Valley, a literally over-the-hill region of Los Angeles he's returned to repeatedly in Magnolia, Punch-Drunk Love, and Licorice Pizza. Even There Will Be Blood, the severe, twisted 2007 epic many still consider Anderson's greatest achievement, spends most of its towering runtime on the oil boom that partly built Los Angeles.

Most of Anderson's whirlwind trips through the city he loves have received rapturous applause, and his fascination with California's odd, tangled history is apparent in every one. However, few of his tours through Los Angeles' past are filled with as much heartache as Inherent Vice, the 2014 stoner detective dramedy that remains Anderson's most underrated piece of work. When it was released 10 years ago, Inherent Vice was largely rejected. It grossed only $14 million at the box office against a $20 million budget, received very little serious awards attention, and it remains his least critically adored film.

3 great BritBox shows you should watch in December 2024

The cast of Being Human.

If you're tired of the options on services like Netflix and Hulu, you might be looking for something a little more off the beaten path. BritBox is not nearly as big as those other streaming services, but its selection of British films and TV shows makes it a worthwhile subscription nonetheless.

If you're looking for great shows to check out there this month, we've got you covered. We've selected three excellent series that are all available on BritBox, each of which has a slightly different tone. No matter what you're looking for, you'll hopefully find it in these selections.

3 action movies on Hulu you need to watch in December 2024

Bruce Willis in Die Hard 2.

Sometimes, the Christmas season means Christmas action movies on Hulu. Especially if the streamer has Die Hard for the holidays, as it does this year. But since everyone talks about Die Hard as a Christmas film, we decided to go with Die Hard 2 -- which is also set at Christmas -- as one of the three action movies on Hulu that you need to watch in December.

Our other picks include the film that made Keanu Reeves an action star five years before The Matrix, as well as the movie that gave Russell Crowe his first -- and to date, only -- Oscar win for Best Actor.
