Did the weekend fly by and you totally forgot to catch up on the latest streaming content? We’re here to remind you that you can now watch Raya and the Last Dragon — the latest animation from Disney — over at Disney+ as part of its $30 Premier Access service. It’s the perfect time to sign up for Disney+ if you haven’t already.

The movie stars Kelly Marie Tran as Raya, a warrior who has to track down the last surviving dragon in her world in a bid to stop an evil ancient enemy from destroying everything she loves. Featuring a cast including Awkwafina, Daniel Dae Kim, and Alan Tudyk, the movie should be a fantastic hit for all the family. Set in the mystical world of Kumandra, it looks at a time when people and dragons coexisted side-by-side peacefully until the evil Druun arrived and the dragons were forced to sacrifice themselves to save their human friends. The film picks up the story centuries later with the plucky Raya out to save everyone.

As with previous major Disney+ releases like Mulan, Raya and the Last Dragon is available exclusively as part of the streaming service’s Premier Access. Premier Access offers viewers a chance to see movies they’d normally only be able to watch at movie theaters. For just $30 on top of your usual subscription fee, you can watch Raya and the Last Dragon, or you can wait until June 4 to watch it for free as part of your regular Disney+ subscription.

Raya and the Last Dragon already looks to be a groundbreaking animation from Disney with a predominantly Asian-American cast and a soundtrack that features Disney’s first-ever Filipino-language song titled Gabay.

If you haven’t signed up to Disney+, this is the ideal time to go for it. Disney+ offers access to almost all of Disney’s past movies along with dozens of fantastic Disney shorts. It also provides you with access to everything that Marvel and Star Wars have to offer including smash hits like The Mandalorian and WandaVision. Disney+ is just $7 per month or $70 per year, working out as tremendous value for Disney-loving folks. If you’re looking for even better value, you can also grab The Disney Bundle which costs just $13 per month and includes Disney+ along with Hulu (ad-supported) and ESPN+ saving you 25% on the combined subscription prices.

Netflix is streaming one of the best sci-fi fantasy shows right now. Here’s why you should watch it
three reasons to watch into the badlands on netflix in august 2024 featured

AMC wasn't always the network of endless Walking Dead spinoffs and Anne Rice vampires and witches. In 2015, the cable channel branched out into the martial arts genre with Into the Badlands, a series that ultimately ran for three seasons.

Netflix subscribers may not realize it, but Into the Badlands was on the streamer for an extended period before it was sent to AMC+. Now that AMC is temporarily sharing its library shows with Netflix, Into the Badlands is back alongside A Discovery of Witches, Dark Winds, and more. Those other shows have more substantial followings, but since Into the Badlands is largely a cult series, we're sharing three reasons why you should watch it on Netflix in August.

One of the best comic book TV adaptations is now on Netflix. Here’s why you should stream it
Ian Colletti in Preacher.

Netflix recently added several shows from AMC and AMC+, including Dark Winds, an acclaimed drama that has marched up the list of the most popular shows on Netflix. By comparison, Preacher has yet to make a similar impact on Netflix despite the fact that it was co-created by Garth Ennis, the co-creator of Prime Video's hit series The Boys.

Ennis and the late comic book artist Steve Dillon created Preacher as an adult comic book series for DC Comics' Vertigo line from 1995 to 2000. Several attempts to turn Preacher into a movie failed, and even HBO gave up on it before Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg -- who went on to adapt The Boys -- joined the project and developed it with Sam Catlin for AMC.

A man fist bumps a young boy in The First Slam Dunk.

The NBA might be on hiatus, but basketball content never sleeps. The First Slam Dunk, a Japanese animated sports film, has finally bounced its way onto Netflix. The First Slam Dunk is based on Takehiko Inoue's landmark manga series, Slam Dunk, from the 1990s. The anime film depicts the Inter-High Championship game between Shohoku High and the undefeated Sannoh High.

Written and directed by Inoue, The First Slam Dunk follows Ryota Miyagi (Shugo Nakamura), the speedy point guard with a trauma-induced past due to the tragic death of his older brother. Winning the championship is everything for Ryota and his teammates Hanamichi Sakuragi (Subaru Kimura), Takenori Akagi (Kenta Miyake), Hisashi Mitsui (Jun Kasama), and Kaede Rukawa (Shinichiro Kamio). However, the boys quickly learn that facing the challenges in their personal lives is the key to succeeding on the basketball court.
