Here's All the New Goodness Landing on Netflix and Hulu in August

Let’s be real: August is a garbage month. It’s the sweaty armpit of the summer with no holidays in sight. Even the unofficial holidays are lame: National Eye Exam Month? Water Quality Month? National Catfish Month? No thank you. August also has the unfortunate timing of being right before September, the last gasp before school starts again. Do better, August. But all is not lost! A new month brings with it a host of new films and series on Netflix and Hulu.

Below is the line-up for Neflix and Hulu, where we’ve bolded our top picks for the month. So draw those shades, crank that air conditioning, and cover your body with ice packs, because we’ve got your indoor August plans all laid out.

The Brady Bunch Movie (1995)
A Very Brady Sequel (1996)

Look, I don’t want to tell you how to live your life. But the Brady Bunch movies are some of the funniest, most watchable films of the 90s. Anchored by the brilliant performances of Gary Cole and Shelley Long, these movies are a sheer goofy delight, and a fun look at the 90s making fun of the 70s. But the MVP is Jennifer Elise Cox’s unhinged Jan Brady, who should have been a way bigger star after these films.
