Old

Watch in Theaters

Does anyone else feel as if they’ve aged an entire lifetime over the past year we just had? Picture that, but shorten it into a day. That’s essentially the plot of this new M. Night Shyamalan movie about a family on a tropical vacation. Things aren’t quite as serene as they seem, however, after the family discovers that they’re rapidly aging. They’re DEF gonna need a vacation after this vacation.

Tokyo Olympics

Watch on NBC (July 23- August 8)

The 2020 Tokyo Olympics are finally happening an entire year later. Don’t expect these games to be like any other year though. For the first time ever, the entire event will be held without spectators due to the pandemic. Viewers can expect heartwarming stories of triumph and dazzling displays of athleticism. We can only hope that the games aren’t overshadowed by the questionable decision of them happening during what is still very much a global pandemic.
