 | Hidden Gems |
|
 |
| Is It Summer Yet? |
| Pandemic-era fave Outer Banks returns for a third (and hopefully even more ridiculous) season on Netflix tomorrow. And if the Pogues chilling on an idyllic island makes you long for more steamy summer drama and adventure, look no further. |
 | | Hot Summer Nights | | If you’re ready to take your Timothée Chalamet fandom to the next level, then check out this under-the-radar movie from indie distributor A24. Maika Monroe co-stars in this stylish thriller, about a teenager with perfect cheekbones (that’d be Chalamet) who gets in over his head dealing drugs during a sultry summer in Cape Cod. | | Where to watch |

|
 | | Fools Gold | | Remember when Matthew McConaughey was a mere movie star who specialized in playing goofy rom-com himbos? Go back to a simpler time in which he plays a frequently shirtless dude whose obsession with sunken treasure almost ruins his marriage to Kate Hudson. | | Where to watch |
|
|
 | | The Wilds | | This teen-centric sci-fi survival thriller is one of those shows that grew a small but devoted army of fans before being unceremoniously dumped in its second season. (Critics loved it, too.) Prime Video isn’t deleting canceled series from its platform yet (side-eye to you, HBO Max), so there’s still time to stan a hidden gem. | | Where to watch |
