Sherri Papini: Caught in the Lie (June 21)

Stranger-than-fiction tales of murder, crime and con artistry are a dime a dozen on streaming services. But when a project like this secures the involvement of the controversial figure at its centre, it shoots right to the top of my to-watch list.

The titular enigma here is a young California mum who emerged from a devastating abduction ordeal, bruised and even branded—only for her slippery story to completely slide apart when the FBI poked holes in the story. Papini has since undergone a media firestorm and been sentenced to prison time for her falsities, and so it’s a huge get that HBO managed to plonk her on the couch; ready to hear her side of the story and perhaps emboss it with a little more empathy, or to expose a bizarre lie in greater detail than ever before.

The Gilded Age: Season 3 (June 23)

My beloved and nonsensical And Just Like That… is currently airing its third season, but another bitchy drama set in New York’s high society is the one racking up rave reviews and converting new fans with every corseted chapter. Transporting us back to the 1880s, a period of massive cultural and industrial upheaval and upstairs-downstairs havoc, The Gilded Age is period TV gold.

As rising woman-about-town Bertha, the tremendous Carrie Coon is setting sights higher for her family, as her husband takes a new gamble on the nascent railroad industry. Right across the cobbled street, legendary grand dammes Christine Baranski and Cynthia Nixon are still trying to coax their estranged and penniless niece into her proper position. Created by Julian Fellowes, it’s still neatly fitting that hole left behind by his previous work Downton Abbey.

Mountainhead (June 1)

Are there too many movies of late about rich assholes getting their comeuppance? Probably, but with Succession mastermind Jesse Armstrong writing and directing this one, any HBO fan worth their salt and subscription will know to expect something brilliant and bitter.

Steve Carell, Jason Schwartzman, Cory Michael Smith and Ramy Youssef play some of the most moneyed-up blokes on the planet, all cloistered away in a luxury mountain home as some shadowy global disaster unfolds beyond their compound. The social satire should be sickening, even if the movie restrains itself into a chamber piece about the room where the internationally devastating sausage gets made. “Humanity is in their hands”, the tagline warns us: let’s see how the boys sell us out.

Megalopolis (June 8)

I saw Francis Ford Coppola’s spectacular flop twice in cinemas, and I utterly thrived—once with the in-cinema live interaction aspect, once without. And you can bet your sweet bottom New Rome dollar that I’ll be watching it again, and cackling, from home.

It’s not necessary to rehash the movie’s botched production, scandalous on-set misbehaviour, and some of the more scathing critiques of what the hell it’s even about. There are moments in the story—about Adam Driver’s genius civic architect Catalina envisioning a wacky new utopian future—that are entirely transcendent, told in a lyrical visual manner that only a late-in-life harebrained auteur would attempt. It’s not a movie, it’s an experience, for better and for worse. I think you should really give it a go.

Saturday Night (June 15)

The hardcore Saturday Night Live comedy geeks have certainly already seen this, had their laughs and argued about the rough treatment of legend puppeteer Jim Henson (Nicholas Braun, who also oddly plays Andy Kaufman). But for every else, it’s a mile-a-minute insight to the backstage chaos that flowered into SNL’s incendiary first show, starring Gabriel LaBelle as harried ringleader and current SNL producer Lorne Michaels.

It feels like every review of this comedy biopic highlighted a different performer as the standout, which is probably a great indication of just how strong the ensemble cast is: Lamorne Morris as Garrett Morris, Cory Michael Smith as Chevy Chase, Dylan O’Brien as Dan Akroyd. Big names like JK Simmons, Willem Dafoe and the hilarious Rachel Sennott are also stressed out in the sidelines of the live, unfolding disaster.
