4 best new movies (and one godawful one) to watch this weekend on Hulu, Peacock, HBO Max and more (August 1-2)
Leading the pack is a darkly funny romance between two stars of "The Odyssey" — "The Drama" — landing on HBO Max.Over on Hulu, you can catch "The Devil Wears Prada 2" for more of the charm that made the first one such a cult classic. On the other end of the spectrum, for some tasty Hollywood slop, the star-crossed "M3GAN" sequel "SOULM8TE" starring Lily Sullivan as, get this, an AI android that goes rogue! Original, I know, but I'm hate-watching it this weekend nonetheless.
