Between the Streams: Game of Thrones preview, Jason Bourne, and spoiler rules

Between the Streams: Game of Thrones preview, Jason Bourne, and spoiler rules
Each week, DT’s newest show, Between the Streams, is your guide to all of the hottest, most important, and (of course) dumbest new developments in streaming and entertainment to recap the week that was.

You can also listen to the podcast version below, or add us via RSS or Stitcher to take BtS on the road!

There’s only one thing on our minds this week, and it’s likely the same that’s on yours. That’s right, I’m talking about HBO’s flagship, the wacky crew from Westeros, it’s Game of Thrones. We’ll be spending a large portion of the show this week talking about the sixth season, which airs this coming Sunday. That means a breakdown of what we think is coming this season, including an investigation of some of our favorite characters, as well as our theories, rumors about this being the “best season ever,” and even exploring HBO’s fears of what exactly will happen once the show finally wraps in the coming years.

Fittingly, along with our Game of Thrones extravaganza, we’ll also be discussing (spoiler alert) our rules on spoiler alerts this week. We’ve heard about some fears that our show may offer too many of them, so we want to lay out some definitive rules so that all may feel welcome here at Between the Streams, without fear of ruining the new hotness. While we definitely strive to keep you informed, first and foremost is our desire to keep you happy, so we’ll be working on making sure all are welcome. That being said, there is a statute of limitations that we have to lay out — you can only have so much time, otherwise, well, we couldn’t talk about anything. Tune in today to find out our rules, as well as our drinking game that connects to the subject.

Finally, we’ll also be discussing a few other matters outside of Westeros this week, including Matt Damon’s dashing return to the Jason Bourne franchise and more, so tune in, and be sure to follow us on Stitcher, iTunes, and Facebook live.

3 underrated (HBO) Max movies you should watch this weekend (June 28-30)
A girl looks at a boy in House at the End of the Street.

June is surprisingly over, and with it, a great month for movies comes to a satisfactory close. You've probably watched Inside Out 2 or Bad Boys: Ride or Die or maybe even The Bikeriders. From blockbusters to indie fare, the theatrical movie business has been robust and healthy.

The same goes for streaming. Netflix had a big hit with Richard Linklater's Hit Man, while Amazon Prime Video recently premiered the latest bonkers season of The Boys. HBO and Max have been quieter, but their robust library speaks volumes to the streamer's high quality. The following three films are older, but are just as worth your time as new hits like House of the Dragon season 2.
The Skin I Live In (2011)

Two men spy from a car in The Limey.

As we head toward the end of June, it's worth reflecting on how we want to spend the rest of summer. For some, that's going to mean enjoying nice weather or getting some time in at the beach. For others, it might mean escaping from the heat, at least for a while, to check out a great movie.

If you fall into that second category, then we've pulled together a list of three great, underrated, titles available on Amazon Prime Video that are all worth checking out. Prime Video is home to some of the best movies available online, but it can be hard to find the ones you want. These three will at least give you a great place to start.

The best Netflix original series right now
Eric and Benedict Cumberbatch in Eric.

The era of Peak TV was also Peak Netflix, because the streamer seemingly had an endless supply of new original series. So far in 2024, that hasn't been the case. Whether we'll ever get the same level of content again seems unlikely for now. But even in a reduced capacity, Netflix still has a few new additions to its lineup of originals.

For the month of June, we're adding the '80s-set thriller, Eric, which stars Benedict Cumbebatch. Our other pick for the month is Supacell, which is Netflix's new British series that remixes some old superhero archetypes. That's not a very big selection for fans who always want something new, but this roundup of the best Netflix original series really does have all of the top options in one place for you. All you have to do is scroll down and make time to binge watch some shows.
