Magic Mike’s Last Dance (2023)

Magic Mike’s Last Dance was originally conceived as a streaming original. However, Mike Lane’s final bow was worthy of the big screen, so Warner Bros. gave it a theatrical release. After leaving the stage, Mike Lane (Channing Tatum) finds himself broke without a job thanks to a business deal gone wrong.

While working as a bartender in Florida, Mike gets a lifeline from Max (Salma Hayek Pinault), a wealthy socialite who hires the former stripper to work as a choreographer for a play in London. As hard as he tries to break away from dancing, Mike keeps coming back to the stage. It’s his destiny, but in Last Dance, Mike wants to write his own rules in this fitting end to an underrated trilogy.

Belichick & Saban: The Art of Coaching (2019)

Bill Belichick is one of the five greatest coaches in NFL history. The same can be said for Nick Saban in college football. Belichick and Saban have combined to win over a dozen Super Bowls and national championships. You would think these two alphas are competitors on different sides. It turns out that Belichick and Saban have been close friends for over 40 years.

Known for being private and tight-lipped about their personal lives, Belichick & Saban: The Art of Coaching is an all-access look into the duo’s relationship and the coaching principles that have led to success. Want to know the secret behind these two titans? Watch the documentary, and you might learn a thing or two.

Stream Belichick & Saban: The Art of Coaching on Max.

Sweethearts (2024)

Long-distance relationships are a tale as old as time for many college freshmen. In Sweethearts, best friends Ben (Nico Hiraga) and Jamie (Kiernan Shipka) are both dating their respective high school sweethearts. During their first semester, the two friends agree to break up with their significant others over Thanksgiving.

The night before Thanksgiving, Ben and Jamie go out to a party in their hometown, which leads to a chaotic night of hijinks, regrets, and revelations. Plus, there might be a little romance sprinkled at certain moments. Sweethearts is a warm, effective movie about the importance of friendship. It also perfectly captures the anxiety that many young people face when returning home for the first time from college.

Stream Sweethearts on Max.
