This Month’s Highlights
Up in the Air
Think of your streaming options as a backpack. All the loads of movies you can watch are in there, weighing you down. How many of them do you really need? Probably Up in the Air, for one, if you’ve got Showtime or Showtime Anytime, and perhaps one of the best movies coming to the service this month. Check it out and you’ll see George Clooney give motivational speeches like this one not long after firing loads of people — and in retrospect, Up in the Air feels wildly prescient. Not necessarily for its The World Is Flat-esque talk about the globalization of business, but in the way that it shows corporate America rapidly accelerating to a place where individual workers have no value at all. Also, Vera Farmiga and Anna Kendrick are in this movie, and they’re great! Arrives March 11
Billions
Can you believe we’re about to get a fourth season of Billions? It feels like just yesterday that everyone was watching the first season of Billions. And looky here — neither Paul “Old, Crusty Billions” Giamatti, nor Damien “Young, Hot Billions” Lewis has died yet! Who will have the most billions? I’m sorry, I will catch up on this show soon, I promise.
