Twisted Metal Season 2
Release Date: August 1st (first three episodes), then weekly
After the big revelations in the season one finale, John (Anthony Mackie) and Quiet (Stephanie Beatriz) are forced to enter the sinister demolition derby tournament known as Twisted Metal for Raven (Neve Campbell).
Run by the mysterious Calypso, John and Quiet have to think on their feet (wheels?) as they face deadly opponents - including maniacal clown Sweet Tooth - and achieve the grand prize. But things get complicated for John when he discovers one of his fellow competitors is his sister, Dollface.
The Hunger Games
Release Date: All Films August 1st
Set in a dystopian future, the world of Panem is ruled by a Capital that forces its 12 districts to sacrifice two teenagers a year to enter the Hunger Games – a to-the-death tournament televised for the whole nation to see.
When Katniss Everdeen (Jennifer Lawrence), opts to volunteer herself in place of her little sister, Prim, she accidentally finds herself in the middle of a revolution.
With the help of fellow tribute Peeta Mellark (Josh Hutcherson), mentor Haymitch Abernathy (Woody Harrelson) and escort Effie Trinket (Elizabeth Banks), Katniss plans to leave a permanent mark on the games, becoming a status symbol to take down the Capital and the Hunger Games for good, much to the annoyance of zealous leader President Snow (Donald Sutherland).
All four of the original Hunger Games movies – Hunger Games, Catching Fire and Mockingjay Parts One and Two – will be dropping at the same time so you can catch it all.
