Netflix has never stood in the way of a shitbag comedian's god-given right to a stand-up special, and August is no different, with the service uploading a pair from Joe Rogan and Matt Rife in its latest batch of monthly offerings. If that's any indication of the state of the industry, perhaps it's time we rethink the purpose of comedy as an institution? At least there's some other good stuff heading to streaming in August...
We will get to see The Umbrella Academy to its conclusion this summer; Season 4 is heading to screens in its entirety on August 8. There are also some new Emily in Paris episodes (if you're into that sort of thing) on the way, and a few international editions of Love Is Blind to tide you over in the post-Love Island Season 6-era.
Some classics are also being uploaded for rewatch: 50 First Dates, a pair of Ace Ventura movies, Lost in Translation and Stand by Me arrive August 1, while E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial comes August 2, and Lady Bird is scheduled for August 10. We're also getting full-series runs of Mad Men and Lost, if you're in a bingeing mood.
Thankfully there's plenty more to watch over at Disney+, MUBI, NFB, Paramount+ and more in August. Surely there would be no hard feelings if you feel like cancelling your Netflix after this batch, especially considering the titles that are leaving the service.
