The summer season is upon us, but if you’d like to stay out of the heat, we’ve got some very cool streaming suggestions for you. Yes, it’s time for the Nerd’s Watch, the place to find out all the best genre titles coming to Netflix, Disney+, Hulu, Peacock, and more. Plus, we do the work for you. These are just the titles we think you’d care about. What follows is a list of the best stuff on all the big streaming services. We look at all those long, annoying lists and whittle them down to a few dozen titles that we think are noteworthy this month. Some are new, some are old, but either way, we’ll tell you why you should care. Or at least joke about it. Image: Universal The Riddick Trilogy (June 1 on Netflix) When we think of Vin Diesel, we usually think of The Fast and the Furious franchise. But we often forget he has multiple others too, including this three-film sci-fi series that went from him being a kind of breakout side character (in Pitch Black) to the lead in The Chronicles of Riddick and Riddick. They’re pretty great.
The Karate Kid Trilogy (June 1 on Netflix) Netflix is the home of Cobra Kai, so it’s nice that the original Karate Kid trilogy is back on the streamer. It’s also adding the Jaden Smith 2010 remake, which is better than most fans give it credit for. Perfect appetizers before a Cobra Kai rewatch.
