The Stanford Prison Experiment: Unlocking the Truth

Just a few weeks after the death of Philip Zimbardo, who came up with the now infamous psychological experiment, National Geographic is releasing a three-part documentary series about what happened when Zimbardo had students take on roles of prisoners and guards in a mock prison setting, with first-hand accounts given by the participants, many sharing their experiences for the first time.
The Taste of Things (2023)
- Acclaimed French cooking and romance movie premieres on Hulu November 15
Having earned a 97% “Certified Fresh” score on Rotten Tomatoes, The Taste of Things was one of the most critically acclaimed foreign-language movies of 2023 (it actually has a higher RT score than Oscar-winners Anatomy of a Fall and The Zone of Interest). Juliette Binoche stars in the story of how two chef’s relationship grows over the course of working together for 20 years.
Thelma (2024)
- June Squibb action comedy is streaming on Hulu as of November 15
One of summer 2024’s biggest action stars was 95-year-old June Squibb, who starred in the acclaimed action comedy Thelma. Squibb plays a grandmother who unfortunately loses a lot of money to scammers. But she is not going to take that lying down, as she reunites with a friend (iconic star of Shaft, Richard Roundtree) to track the scammers down and get her money back. Squibb did many of her own stunts in the movie; while they may not be Tom Cruise/Mission: Impossible level, it is nonetheless impressive and just adds extra charm to this fun movie.
