Each month, new films and TV shows are added to Disney+‘s Australian library. Here’s Eliza Janssen’s recommendations for the titles most worth watching. Scroll down for the full list of everything arriving on the platform.
Top picks
Flamin’ Hot (June 9)
Bloody everything is getting a behind-the-scenes product origin story these days: Tetris, Air Jordans, the Blackberry phone. Do we need a rags-to-riches tale of the Mexican-American janitor who dared to add street food flavour to his boss’s forgotten chips? Hopefully this biopic is just as spicy as the Cheetos in question, with actor Eva Longoria directing and Tony Shalhoub as a PepsiCo CEO. Finger-lickin’ creative non-fiction.
The Full Monty: Limited Series (June 14)
You can leave your hat on for this sequel series to the uplifting British hit, with stars Robert Carlyle, Mark Addy and more returning to strip down one more time. It’s unlikely material for a zingy episodic tribute 25 years down the track, as the original script spelled out a disastrous fate for the economically and socially traumatised working class guys who dared to put on a male strip revue. Still, with the original film achieving a stunning box office result of $250 million internationally from a measly $3.5 million budget, another underdog feat is not out of the question.
FX’s Class of ’09 (June 21)
A prestige cast including Brian Tyree Henry and Kate Mara illuminate this forward-thinking crime drama, which follows a group of FBI agents across three distinct timelines. They’ll grapple with the insidious, growing power of artificial intelligence as their jobs and personal lives change dramatically—let’s hope the old age makeup is convincing enough to make each striking jump forwards or backwards convincing. The young cops’ decisions early on in their careers just might spell disaster decades down the track.
