The arrival of “Solo: A Star Wars Story” and Lin-Manuel Miranda’s “Hamilton” are this month’s highlights.
So many streaming services, so many of these “new to” lists to keep things organized.
We’re not complaining — not when we get more Star Wars content and a Hamilton viewing — but we are saying that maybe you should be bookmarking these guides for future reference. Because the shows, they’re a comin.’ Here’s everything new on Disney+ this month, including a bunch of family-friendly fare to keep the tiny humans entertained during quarantimes.
Probably one of the biggest releases since Disney launched its streaming service, this live-recording of Lin-Manuel Miranda’s Broadway musical was set to drop much later, but the corporate overlords smiled down upon us mere peasants and gave us a gift during this quarantine. Hamilton has become a cultural phenomenon, a creative benchmark, and whether you managed to score tickets to the live version or not, this is a must-watch.
Look, this film got a bad rap when it came out. It suffered a lot of setbacks and definitely has some tonal issues, but it also took a risk with a Star Wars property, and that’s a rare thing so we’ll overlook the negatives and focus on what works here.
