8 New Things You Gotta Watch on Netflix This Month
Tune in for America's favorite prison dramedy, the original Jurassic Park trilogy, and a new doc on one of the greatest sporting events in the world.
Orange Is The New Black S4JoJo/Whilden
Just because it's summer doesn't mean you have to go outside. Perhaps you'd like to stay in and do some binge-watching? Netflix has plenty to help you with that impulse. From six hours of awesome dino action to a whole new season of the massively addicting Orange Is the New Black, there's quite a bit coming to the streaming service this month to fill the days. Here's the programming you should prioritize this June.
- This summer, there won't be a another *Jurassic World*. (Bummer!) But the the three original *Jurassic* movies are a fine Plan B in the absence of prehistoric thrills at the cineplex. All together, it's around six hours of (mostly) amazing dinosaur action. Say goodbye to a Saturday.
- The reboots of cartoons from the 1980s continues with Netflix's *Voltron*. The original series was about five young pilots who find flying lion robots and combine them into one giant warrior. In the new show, five students at a flight academy stumble upon one of the lions, and get whisked away to become a team and defend the universe. Get excited, cartoon fans.
- Jenji Kohan’s Netflix Original has come a long way from the early days of Piper Chapman at Litchfield Penitentiary, adding in backstories for many different inmates along the way. The fourth season will continue last year’s for-profit prison storyline as Litchfield adds more guards, restricts the inmates even further, and sees tensions ratchet up to new levels.
- This year’s Oscar winner for Best Picture, about the *Boston Globe* journalists who uncovered a long history of abuse within the Catholic Church, is by no means a flashy movie, but it’s persistent and picks its moments of stylistic emphasis carefully. It’s the latest film to [carry on the legacy](http://slim-weight.info/2015/11/spotlight-journalism-movies/) of *All The President’s Men* and *Zodiac*, illuminating the people who put in hours of hard work to bring stories to the public.
- *Fundamentals* stars Paul Rudd as a grieving father who takes a job as the caregiver for a teenager with a rare disease. They embark on a road trip to see tourist traps, and along the way connect with a foul-mouthed runaway. If that sounds like a movie made from the spare parts of a million Sundance films, it is. But that also makes it worth a watch.
- Twice each summer, in the central square of Siena, Italy, 10 of the city’s 17 neighborhoods have a horse and rider race three times around a dirt track. Aside from prohibiting murder, there are essentially no rules. In this doc about the event—known as the Palio di Siena—the producers follow the story of a veteran jockey and his former apprentice, now rivals in the fiercest horse race this side of Churchill Downs.
