Summer has finally arrived. That means barbecues, road trips, beach days, and long nights around the campfire. In between those fun moments, you’ll have time to catch up on all the shows you’ve been meaning to watch, plus new movies and releases hitting your favorite streaming platforms. Here’s all the best streaming picks for June.
What to Watch on Netflix: June 2022
Following the release of Stranger Things in May, Netflix continues to bring the big summer releases, with projects from Kevin Hart, Chris Hemsworth, and Pete Davidson this month. Hart stars in the action comedy The Man from Toronto, which follows an issue of mistaken identity in an Airbnb that brings Hart’s normal guy face-to-face with a professional assassin (Woody Harrelson). The film will be released on June 24 and has echoes of the classic film North By Northwest, which put Cary Grant’s everyman on the run after being mistaken for a spy. The month also brings Spiderhead, a twisty sci-fi thriller starring Chris Hemsworth and Miles Teller. The film follows convicts living in the future who are given the chance to reduce their time in prison by undergoing emotion-altering drug experiments. The film reunited director Joseph Kosinski with Miles Teller, both of whom are getting rave reviews for Top Gun Maverick.
If you’re looking for some comedy, Pete Davidson Presents: The Best Friends (June 13) is a new stand-up special led by Davidson featuring a number of his best friends performing. Bill Burr also has a new special coming on June 6 with Friends Who Kill. Looking for other options? The final season of Peaky Blinders hits the streamer on June 10, while Season 3 of the comic adaptation The Umbrella Academy starts on June 22. Some great movies hitting the platform this month include Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy, The Departed, The Fighter, Mission: Impossible, Mission: Impossible–Ghost Protocol, and Mission: Impossible II.
What to Watch on HBO Max: June 2022
The twisty, action-packed Westworld returns on June 26 for its fourth season, bringing back Aaron Paul’s former soldier Caleb Nichols as he unravels new mysteries surrounding the company that created Westworld. The third season took the story into the real world in some wild new ways, and the fourth season has the tagline of being about a “dark odyssey about the fate of sentient life on Earth.” The season will also feature a park modeled after the classic period of the American Mafia, giving fans a new park to add to the list beyond the Western, Samurai and Safari worlds.
Other new titles include the limited series Irma Vep, which stars Oscar winner Alicia Vikander in an adaptation of the 1996 film. Vikander plays an American movie star reeling after a breakup and the direction of her career who decides to star in a remake of a classic vampire film. Once she does, strange things start happening (June 6). Other additions to the streamer include new movies like The Card Counter on June 10, starring Oscar Isaac and Tiffany Haddish, as well as a reboot of Father of the Bride starring Andy Garcia, Isabela Merced, and Adria Arjona on June 16. The streamer will also have a number of great movies coming this month, including 13 Going on 30, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, First Blood, The Grand Budapest Hotel, The Firm, The Mask, Total Recall, and Watchmen.
What to Watch on Disney Plus: June 2022
After kicking off in May, the rest of Obi-Wan Kenobi will be airing throughout the month, giving fans a chance to see the legendary Jedi (Ewan McGregor) take on Darth Vader (Hayden Christensen) once again. The series has already had some surprising storylines and moments. Knowing where things lead into the first Star Wars, the show will likely end with some emotional revelations for Obi-Wan. The MCU brings a new hero to the screen this month with Ms. Marvel, the next series in the Marvel universe following Oscar Isaac’s Moon Knight. Starting June 8, the series follows Kamala Khan (Iman Vellani), a Muslim American teenager growing up in Jersey City who gains superpowers. The high school-focused series will introduce the character, who is expected to appear in more Marvel movies and TV shows, as Ms. Marvel has become one of the top comic book characters for the company. Want to learn more about the hero before watching? You can check out Disney: A Fan’s Guide to Ms. Marvel (June 1), which gives a deep look at the character and interviews with the cast and crew of the new series. You also can do the same with Beyond Infinity: Buzz and the Journey to Lightyear (June 8) before seeing the new movie Lightyear in theaters, starring Chris Evans as the voice of Buzz.
What to Watch on Amazon Prime: June 2022
The big release this month is Season 3 of The Boys, the violent, darkly comedic adaptation of the comic by Garth Ennis. Things pick up after the explosive events of the second season, with Billy Butcher (Karl Urban) maybe gaining powers, and Hughie (Jack Quaid) unsuspectingly getting close to a villain after taking a job with the secretly evil Congresswoman Neuman. The rest of the titular Boys are back, as will be the Superman-like Homelander (Antony Starr), the leader of the Seven superhero group who is having a crisis of his own. The streamer will also get a major new movie with No Time To Die (June 10), adding the most recent Bond film to the collection after Amazon recently purchased MGM and the rights to the series. You’ll also be able to stream Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues (June 5) and Leonardo DiCaprio’s always watchable The Wolf Of Wall Street (June 12).
What to Watch on Apple TV+: June 2022
After getting strong reviews for Season 1, the series Physical (June 3) is back for another run in the second season, following Rose Byrne’s Sheila as she remakes her life. Taking place during the 1980’s in San Diego, Sheila is living as a housewife who becomes disillusioned and starts having many inner issues, eventually finding a major release in taking on aerobics. After becoming a businesswoman in her own right while supporting her husband’s career, the second season will continue her story and how she delves even deeper into the aerobics scene. One of the best shows of 2021 is back for a third season with the sci-fi drama For All Mankind (June 10). The second season had some of the best episodes of TV in years, following an alternate history of NASA that takes place in a world where the Soviets got to the moon first. This time around, the season will focus on the race to land and build on Mars. The streamer will also premiere the film Cha Cha Real Smooth, which follows a young professional party starter for bar and bat mitzvahs who starts a relationship with a mother (Dakota Johnson) and her daughter. The film took home the audience award at the 2022 Sundance Film Festival and starts streaming on June 17.
What to Watch on Hulu: June 2022
After a major cliffhanger that found the main characters of Martin Short, Steve Martin, and Selena Gomez suspects in a murder themselves, Only Murders in the Building is back for Season 2. The first season had the three characters come together over their love of crime podcasts to solve a murder in their building, only to find themselves arrested for a crime and the subjects of a podcast. While the audience knows the group was likely framed for the Arconia Board President Bunny’s death, it’s going to take more than their love for podcasts to figure their way out of this one. The series adds some new cast members, including Shirley MacLaine, Amy Schumer, and Cara Delevingne and starts streaming June 28. Hulu also has a ton of great movies coming to the platform this month, including Predator, Alien, Aliens, Pineapple Express, The Wedding Singer, Weekend at Bernie’s, Bridesmaids, and the Die Hard trilogy (all June 1)..

Bowel Cancer Signs Can Appear 2 Years Before Diagnosis; 4 Symptoms To Watch Out For
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.

Best Time-Under-Tension Workout for Total-Body Strength

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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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

If you haven’t picked up a jump rope since elementary school, you’re missing out on a fantastic cardio workout. Not only will you burn a ton of calories in a short amount of time—200 to 300 calories in 15 minutes—but jump ropes can also improve your coordination and agility. Better yet, jumping rope doesn’t require much space, so it’s easy to do at home, and it’s often more mentally stimulating than jogging or swimming.
Choosing a Jump Rope
When deciding which jump rope is best for you, it’s important to determine what your goals are. While lightweight speed ropes are popular for cardio-focused training, weighted or drag ropes will be best for those focused on strength training.
No matter what your training goals are, we’ve got you covered with this roundup of 10 jump ropes from top brands including Crossrope, TRX, Rogue, and more.
