Marvel’s Luke Cage, Season 2 (all episodes streaming June 22nd)
One of the more interesting street heroes in Marvel’s Netflix TV deal gets his second season. After a couple of disappointing entries with Iron Fist and The Defenders, Luke Cage takes it back to his native Harlem where the bulletproof hero must deal with the notoriety he’s earned after saving his city (twice). Some old foes return (Alfre Woodard), but the new big bad is a mand called Bushmaster (Mustafa Shakir) who seems intent on taking out the Queen of Harlem.
Brain on Fire (film streaming June 22nd)
This drama, based on a true story, stars Chloe Grace Moretz as a young woman stricken with a mysterious illness. If you’ve read the book, you know Moretz is in for a bit of hell in this one. Susannah Cahalan, an up-and-coming journalist at the New York Post had it all before she suddenly became ill. She was diagnosed with everything from bipolar disorder to schizophrenia after she started experiencing seizures, hearing voices, and entering catatonic states. Watching her fall deeper down the medical rabbit hole is tough, but the film is an interesting biography of a woman with one hell of a story to tell.
