Hot Ones: Extra Heat (Netflix, July 14)
The YouTube talk show with hot questions and even hotter wings is now on Netflix!

First up: Will Ferrell, Fortune Feimster, and Jimmy Tatro, stars of the golf comedy The Hawk…keep scrolling.

Ride or Die (Prime Video, July 15)
Hilarity and mayhem ensue when Debbie (Octavia Spencer) discovers her BFF Judith (Hannah Waddingham) is an assassin. Get the f*** out of here!

The Hawk (Netflix, July 16)
Move over, Happy Gilmore! With World Cup fever finally coming to an end, it’s time to spotlight a more exciting sport — and President Trump’s favourite — golf! This 10-part series stars Will Ferrell as Lonnie ‘Hawk’ Hawkins, a has-been golfer plotting a comeback, but his loony antics keep getting in the way. Fortune Feimster (FUBAR) and Jimmy Tatro (American Vandal) co-star.
The East Palace (Netflix, 17)
I was bummed when Netflix discontinued Kingdom (or is it on hold?). Maybe this will make up for it: another period supernatural thriller following a spirit-sensitive swordsman (Nam Joo-hyuk) and a ghost whisperer (Roh Yoon-seo) who are summoned by the King (Cho Seung-woo) to investigate weird happenings in the palace.
