Stan has a slew of excellent film titles arriving this August, including several crime classics and iconic comedies.
On August 12th, “Goodfellas” hits the streaming platform, a film which has just recently lost two of its stars. Ray Liotta’s untimely passing in May was followed this week by the death of Paul Sorvino, and the two were integral to the success of Martin Scorsese‘s crime epic. There’s rarely been a better film in the gangster genre since it debuted all the way back in 1990.
See if Joe Dante has a point about Gizmo and Baby Yoda when his beloved 80s film, “Gremlins”, comes to Stan on August 18th. The director recently claimed that “The Mandalorian” character was “out-and-out copied” from the Gremlins, and it’s not difficult to see where he’s coming from. Regardless of your opinion on the copyright matter though, “Gremlins” remains a genuinely terrifying comedy horror of the highest order. And if enough people stream the 1984 original, perhaps the long-awaited “Gremlins 3” will finally see the light of day.
On the TV front, “The Resort” – streaming throughout August – holds a lot of promise: from Sam Esmail, the creator of “Mr. Robot” and starring William Jackson Harper (“The Good Place”), Christian Milioti (“How I Met Your Mother”), and Nick Offerman (“Parks & Recreation”), the series follows a married couple who find themselves drawn into a strange mystery that took place fifteen years earlier.
