Everything coming to Max (formerly HBO Max) in September 2024

The weather is getting colder, Starbucks is stocking up on Pumpkin Spice Lattes, and the kids are in school … it must be fall! Summer 2024 is soon to be over, but that doesn’t mean there will be a lack of content to watch at home.

Just look at HBO and Max in September. The big debut is The Penguin, a spinoff of the hugely popular 2022 film The Batman starring Colin Farrell as the famous DC villain. There’s also the final season of the brilliant My Brilliant Friend, and the streaming debuts of Civil War, The Boy and the Heron, and I Saw the TV Glow. With all these great movies and TV shows, who has time for work?

If you have to watch one Disney+ movie this December 2024, stream this one
Two adults look at a child in Pete's Dragon.

It's not quite as dominant as Netflix, but Disney+ has emerged as one of the biggest streaming services in the world. As you peruse it, though, you might find that it mostly directs you toward the things you would expect to watch there (i.e. Star Wars, Marvel, and various animated movies).

If you're looking for something on Disney+ that's a little more off that beaten path, you should start with Pete's Dragon. While it's a live-action remake of a Disney animated classic, Pete's Dragon is not as soulless as many of those movies have been. Telling the story of a young boy who lives alone in the woods with a dragon, it's actually a pretty moving story. Here are three reasons you should check it out this December.

5 underrated movies on Netflix you need to watch in December 2024
A woman and man embrace by touching heads in The Last Letter From Your Lover.

It's the final month of 2024, and Netflix is not holding back. The streamer will release several movies and TV shows that will undoubtedly wind up on the streamer's most popular lists. On December 26, Squid Game, Netflix's most-watched show, returns for its deadly second season. Plus, Taron Egerton will play a TSA agent out to save his airport from a terrorist in a new Netflix action movie, Carry-On.

Netflix's biggest strength is its vault. If Squid Game or Carry-On are of no interest to you, then keep searching the service for something that fits your needs. If you feel like taking a chance, try one of these underrated movies. Our picks include an entertaining thriller, a Fast & Furious sequel, and a holiday romance.
