Now that the Olympics are over and you can no longer get your entertainment from the infamous Australian breakdancer Raygun, you might be wondering what to watch. Consider a new VICE documentary or one of these: the best movies and TV shows available on streaming this week.
The Bikeriders
Starring Jodie Comer, Austin Butler, and Tom Hardy, The Bikeriders follows the Vandals, a 1960s Chicago motorcycle club that’s based loosely on the Chicago Outlaws Motorcycle Club. The film packs all the usual crime and violence you’d expect in this type of movie, but its plot is also centered around a love story that forces the newest member of the Vandals to choose between two worlds.
Streaming on Peacock.
