Wet Hot American Summer: Ten Years Later (Netflix) – Reunions are tricky, especially when the stars of a cult movie have now become too bankable to wrangle together again. Ten Years Later works around some A-list schedules through funny replacements and lots of naps, but this is still a worthy installment in the series that makes us long for summer camp again.
Comrade Detective (Amazon) – Channing Tatum has done a bunch of crazy sh*t but this takes the cake. His new six-episode Prime series with Joseph Gordon-Levitt is Communist propaganda disguised as an ’80s buddy cop drama except that buddy cop drama isn’t vintage, it was filmed recently and the characters are being dubbed by stars like Jenny Slate, Chloë Sevigny, and Mahershala Ali. Got it? Good.
