October is here at last. Unless you live in a temperate-year-round climate, it’s high time you toss on a flannel, grab your favorite fall brew, and settle into the couch for some quality TV time. From new movies to returning shows, there are plenty of dramatic story lines and explosive finales to sink your teeth into. Here are all the best things to stream this month.
Just in time for Halloween, Netflix has the newest series from thriller-show master Mike Flanagan, director of projects like Doctor Sleep, House on Haunted Hill, and Midnight Mass. His newest project is The Midnight Club (October 7), an adaptation of the 1994 novel of the same name. The show follows a group of terminally ill patients in hospice who meet up each night—hence the “midnight” moniker—to tell scary stories. Naturally, some bizarre things start to occur and the group has to get to the bottom of things.
The war epic adaptation of the classic novel All Quiet on the Western Front starts streaming October 28. The movie follows a group of soldiers during World War I and is a visceral, realistic depiction of the horrors of war. The film is Germany’s submission for the Academy Award for Best International Feature Film at the 95th Academy Awards and stars Daniel Brühl (Inglourious Basterds, Captain America: Civil War).
Another project to keep an eye on is Wendell & Wild (October 21), a stop-motion horror comedy from the mind of Henry Selick (The Nightmare Before Christmas). The film follows two demon brothers (voiced by Keegan-Michael Key and Jordan Peele) who end up in the land of the living with the help of a 13-year-old girl (Lyric Ross). The month will also see shows like Big Mouth (October 28), Barbarians (October 21), and Nailed It (October 5) return for new seasons.
The return of The White Lotus (October 30) is HBO’s most anticipated new show of the month. What was originally a limited series is now back for Season 2, with Jennifer Coolodge returning to her Emmy winning role as Tanya McQuoid, a woman looking for inner peace on vacation after her mother died. The first season took place in Hawaii and this new season will shift locales to Sicily, Italy at another White Lotus resort. Alongside Coolidge is a deep cast that includes F. Murray Abraham, Michael Imperioli, Theo James, and Aubrey Plaza.
On the documentary side, the NXIVM story continues with The Vow: Part Two (October 17), HBO’s look at the cult-like group that took hold in upstate New York. After a two-year layoff, the sci-fi comedy Avenue 5 (October 10) returns for a second season. The series follows a cruise ship in space after it veers off course, sending the crew and all its inhabitants into deep space, unable to return to earth for at least three years. Starring Hugh Laurie as the captain, the series also stars Josh Gad, Zach Woods, and Himesh Patel and was created by Veep’s Armando Iannucci. If you haven’t been keeping up with House of Dragon, now is the time to jump in. The Game of Thrones spinoff will have its finale later in October, following a thrilling first season on HBO. The show has already spanned decades as it tells the story of the Targaryen dynasty and upcoming civil war, and the show already has more dragons than GoT ever had.
Other shows to check out this month includes Season 2 of the Mark Wahlberg reality show Wahl Street (October 6), season 3 of the Batman-related action series Pennyworth: The Origin of Batman’s Butler (October 8) as well as films like District 9, Dude Where’s My Car?, Hoosiers, and Nightcrawler (all October 1).
‘Andor’ explores a new perspective of the Star Wars galaxy—available to stream October 26.Courtesy of Disney+
Since it’s spooky season, you’ll want to tune into Marvel’s latest TV foray, the horror-tinged Werewolf by Night (October 7). The TV special is just one episode, but will be the first real introduction of monsters into the MCU. Starring Gael García Bernal as Jack Russell / Werewolf by Night, the special will follow a group of monster hunters as they gather at Bloodstone Manor. The group then all goes through a deadly competition as they try to win a powerful relic, but what they don’t know is that they all will end up battling with the Werewolf by Night himself. The special is shot in black and white and despite the premise, also will have some comedic elements too.
Staying with the MCU, She-Hulk: Attorney at Law continues this month with two more episodes, including the season finale on October 13. The show has been a fun side adventure for Marvel, taking on a case-of-the-week feel as Jennifer Walters (Tatiana Maslany) balances being a lawyer alongside being a superhero with Hulk powers. In the world of Star Wars, Andor continues Season 1 with weekly episodes on Wednesday’s after premiering its first four episodes. On the new side of things in Star Wars, the animated anthology series Tales of the Jedi (October 26) will give fans new stories of some of their favorite characters in the galaxy, including Ahsoka Tano, Qui-Gon Jinn (Liam Neeson), Mace Windu (played by Samuel L. Jackson in the films), Count Dooku, and Bail Organa.
Chloë Grace Moretz stars in ‘The Peripheral,’ out October 21, from the creators of ‘Westworld.’Courtesy of Amazon Prime Video
If you’re a fan of HBO’s Westworld, you’ll want to check out Amazon Prime’s new sci-fi series The Peripheral (October 21). Based on the book by William Gibson, The futuristic thriller stars Chloë Grace Moretz (Kick-Ass) as Flynne, who uncovers a major secret when she discovers that she is connected to an alternate reality. Fitting in with the month of October, the thrillers series The Devil’s Hour (October 28) follows a woman who wakes up every night at exactly 3.33 AM, in the middle of what’s called “devil’s hour” between 3 AM and 4 AM. Starring Doctor Who’s Peter Capaldi, you may want to watch this one with the lights on.
The Northman, the action epic from director Robert Eggers, starts streaming on Amazon on October 11 and is well worth watching if you missed it earlier this year. With an all-star cast of Alexander Skarsgard, Anya Taylor-Joy, Nicole Kidman, Ethan Hawke, and Willem Dafoe, the film follows Skarsgard’s stars Viking warrior as he tries to get revenge on his uncle for murdering his father. Liam Neeson has a new action film coming with Blacklight (October 24), while the entire James Bond series starts streaming on Amazon on October 5. The platform benefits from Amazon’s purchase of MGM, meaning Bond series greats like Skyfall, Goldeneye, Casino Royale, Goldfinger, and everything else will be at your fingertips. And if you haven’t caught up yet, it’s the perfect time ahead of The Lord of the Rings: Rings of Power finale, which premieres later this month.
Ewan McGregor and Ethan Hawke in ‘Raymond & Ray,’ premiering October 21 on Apple TV+.Courtesy of Apple TV+
As usual, Apple keeps it light on quantity but brings some quality options for October. The one to keep an eye on is Season 1 of Shantaram, the adaptation of the epic 2003 novel of the same name. Based in part on the experiences of author Gregory David Roberts, Charlie Hunnam (Sons of Anarchy) stars as Lin, a bank robber from Australia who escapes prison and flees to India. While there, Lin finds his way through the Mumbai underworld while also trying to repent for his past crimes by helping people in need. The 12-episode series starts with three episodes for the premiere on October 14 before weekly episodes after that through December.
On the feature side, Ewan McGregor and Ethan Hawke star in the comedy-drama Raymond and Ray (October 21). The film follows two half-brothers who are brought back together by their father’s funeral. The film received strong reviews after premiering at the 2022 Toronto Film Festival. If you’re looking for some comedy, Season 2 of Acapulco is your pick. The story follows Season 1, which took place in 1984, centered on Máximo Gallard (Eugenio Derbez), who gets the chance to have a dream job when he gets a gig at an Acapulco resort called Las Colinas. The streamer will also have a documentary on the legendary musician Louis Armstrong with Louis Armstrong’s Black Blues (October 28).
If you’re looking for scares this month, Hulu has you covered. On the new side, the streamer has an adaptation of the 1987 film Hellraiser on October 7. Based on the Clive Barker book of the same name, the film follows a young woman (Odessa A’Zion) who discovers an ancient puzzle box, but little does she know that by using it, she’ll summon a group of supernatural beings from another dimension. The original film had its share of jump scares and creepy moments, and this new flick should be even creepier. The platform also has horror and suspense-type movies like Fright Night, Let Me In, The Sixth Sense, and Antlers (all October 1). If you need something a little lighter, the hilarious comedy series Schitt’s Creek will bring all six seasons to Hulu starting October 3 after previously being on Netflix.

There’s no doubt when the weather turns colder as we settle into winter, stouts take center stage. And while we enjoy all its iterations: standard stout, imperial stout, and robust barrel-aged stouts, we think this malty, chocolate-filled beer’s close cousin deserves a little respect as well. Of course, we’re talking about the oft-overlooked porter. And the best porters, oh buddy, they’ll have you rethinking your seasonal bevvie of choice.
For those uninitiated, the porter style had its genesis in England like many other iconic beer styles. It first appeared in the 1700s and is (you guessed it) named after porters—individuals tasked with transporting luggage.
A confusing origin story
“Stout is the direct descendant of porter. In the 1700s, it was common to use the word ‘stout’ to refer to a bolder, higher-alcohol version of any beer style, much in the same way we use the word ‘imperial’ today,” says Zach Fowle, advanced cicerone and head of marketing for Arizona Wilderness Brewing Co. in Phoenix, AZ. “Porter was the most popular beer of the day, and over time, “stout porter” became a popular variant. But by the late 1800s, demand for regular porters evaporated, and stout porter shortened simply to stout.”
But more has changed between the 1800s and today than just our penchant for wearing top hats. “Today, most brewers seem to market beers as either stout or porter based on vibes, rather than on any notable stylistic differences,” he says.
Specifically, porters are known for their dark, almost pitch-black color and rich, sweet flavor profile. If you were to drink a porter and a stout side by side, you might even have difficulty discerning the differences between the two.
Stout versus porter is an enduring topic of discussion in the brewing industry. “While there’s no debating the porter came first—and stout used to be called stout porter, so it was a stronger version of a porter—the lines have become very blurred over the years,” says Rob Lightner, co-founder of East Brother Brewing in Richmond, CA.
“I would venture that even among professionals, a blind taste test would often yield inconclusive results,” says Lightner.
The difference between porters and stouts
Porters tend to be on the milder, more chocolatey end of the spectrum, Lightner says, whereas stouts are typically a little stronger and more roasty. Of course, this isn’t a hard and fast rule
Fowle agrees, “Porters tend to be fruitier, sweeter, and less bitter than stouts, with cocoa and caramel flavors in balance with dark malt bitterness. And stouts are usually hoppier, drier, maltier, and more coffee-forward—and may even have a touch of acidity.”
Whether or not they fit neatly into boxes, one thing’s for sure: both make for incredible cold-weather brews.
“As the nights grow longer, drinking a light, summery beer just doesn’t seem right,” says Fowle. “Porter is the perfect style for the transition to winter: warming and toasty yet not too heavy, with flavors of coffee, chocolate, and pie crust that correspond with autumn weather and holidays.”
It’s the perfect time to broaden your repretoire. Sweet, robust, warming, and well-suited to the season, here are the best porters to drink now.

1. Deschutes Black Butte Porter
There are few porters more well-respected than Deschutes’ iconic Black Butte Porter. It’s brewed with Cascade and Tettnang hops as well as 2-row, Chocolate, Crystal, and Carapils malts as well as wheat. This 5.5% ABV year-round offering is great for cold-weather drinking because of its mix of roasted malts, coffee, and chocolate. It’s a robust, subtly sweet beer perfect for imbibing on a crisp fall night.
The key to 360-degree muscle: 90-degree eccentric isometrics. It might seem like we’re throwing a lot of geometry at you, but the concept behind time under tension (TUT) is simple, says Joel Seedman, PhD, owner of Advanced Human Performance: “Perform the lowering phase of a movement in a slow, controlled fashion, usually 3 to 5 seconds; pause in the stretched position, typically around 90 degrees; then perform the lifting phase in a powerful yet controlled fashion.” Believe us, a time-under-tension workout can humble even seasoned lifters…Eccentric isometrics are like the pressure cooker of training.
“Rather than mindlessly performing slow-tempo reps, you’re using the increased time under tension as a means to fine-tune your body mechanics and alignment, which requires more mental engagement and focus,” Seedman adds.
If you want to forge functional muscle mass and strength while simultaneously bulletproofing the joints and connective tissue, give this 10-move, full-body eccentric isometrics workout a go.
Directions
Perform the following moves as 90-degree eccentric isometrics following the above protocol. Use heavy weight, but not at the detriment of proper form. Rest 60 to 90 seconds between sets and 2 minutes between circuits. Perform once every 2 to 4 days for optimal results.
Best Time-Under-Tension Workout for Total-Body Strength
Circuit 1
Marius Bugge
A. Barbell Back Squat
Set a squat rack up with heavy weight, then grasp bar and step under it. Squeeze shoulder blades together, then stand to unrack bar and step back with feet shoulder-width apart. Inhale, hinge at hips and slowly bend knees to 90 degrees. Pause, keeping natural arch in low back, then extend through hips to powerfully stand. 3 x 4-6 reps
Marius Bugge
B. Renegade Row
Start in the top position of a pushup with hands shoulder-width apart on moderate-to-heavy dumbbells (shown). Explosively drive right elbow back to row dumbbell toward ribs while balancing on opposite hand and feet. Pause, then slowly lower weight, stopping a few inches above floor. Switch sides after all reps are done. 3 x 5 reps each side
Circuit 2
Marius Bugge
A. Dumbbell Bentover Row
Stand with feet hip-width apart, holding two moderate-to-heavy dumbbells in front of thighs, palms facing you. Push hips back and hinge torso forward so it’s nearly parallel to floor, soft bend in knees. Dumbbells should be near shins. Drive elbows back to row weights toward ribs. Pause, then slowly lower down for 3 to 5 seconds. 3 x 4-5 reps
Marius Bugge
B. Incline Dumbbell Chest Press with Legs Raised
Set an adjustable bench to a 30- to 45-degree angle and lie back with dumbbells in either hand. Engage core and lift legs off floor, flexing feet. Press weights overhead, palms in. Slowly lower to 90 degrees, staying tight and compact. Pause, then drive weights up directly over chest. 3 x 4-5 reps
Circuit 3
Marius Bugge
A. Dumbbell Bulgarian Squat
Stand lunge-length in front of a flat bench, holding heavy dumbbells in each hand by your sides, palms facing in. Rest the ball on top (shoe’s laces) of your right foot behind you on the bench. Slowly lower your body until your front thigh is parallel to the floor. Pause, then drive through your heel to stand. Switch sides after all reps are complete. 2 x 3-4 reps each side
Marius Bugge
B. Single-leg Romanian Deadlift
Stand with feet hip-width apart holding dumbbells or kettlebells. Drive right leg up, foot flexed, knee aligned with hip, making a 90-degree angle. Hinge at hips as you slowly lever your torso toward floor, lowering weights and driving right leg back for counterbalance. Hold, then squeeze glutes to reverse. 2 x 3-4 reps each side
Circuit 4
Marius Bugge
A. Pullup
Hang from a pullup bar using an overhand grip with legs extended and feet flexed. Engage lats and draw shoulders down your back, then pull yourself up until chin is higher than hands. Pause at the top, then slowly lower. Pause at bottom, then reset before your next rep. 2-3 x 4-5 reps
Marius Bugge
B. Kneeling Overhead Barbell Press
Hold a bar with moderate-to-heavy load at shoulder level with forearms perpendicular to floor. Kneel at end of bench with feet flexed to grip edge for support. Inhale, engage your core and glutes, then press the bar overhead, pushing your head forward so it passes your face, exhaling at the top. Slowly lower until elbows are at 90 degrees, then hold to maintain tension. Begin your next rep from here. 2-3 x 4-5 reps
Circuit 5
A. Dumbbell Pushup
Place hands on dumbbells (this provides greater range of motion) at shoulder width and feet wider than shoulder width with just toes touching the ground. Keep head neutral and hips high to increase tension on core, chest and tris and reduce stress on spine. Slowly lower to the floor. Stop once elbows hit 90 degrees, pause, then push up to start. 1-2 x 6-8 reps
B. Biceps Curl
Stand with feet hip-width apart with moderate-to-heavy dumbbells in each hand hanging by sides. Engage biceps to curl the weights up, keeping upper arms still. Pause at the top, then lower slowly. Don’t let arms drop all the way down to keep greater time under tension on biceps. 1-2 x 6-8 reps
