On the lighter side, Netflix will stream season one of “Voltron: Legendary Defender” starting on June 10. I was a huge Voltron fan when I …

Some fun movies are headed to Amazon’s video streaming service. “Wayne’s World,” starring Michael Myers and Dana Carvey, arrives on Amazon in June. It’s one of the few examples of a “Saturday Night Live” sketch successfully translated for the big screen. It’s right up there with “It’s Pat!” (I’m kidding; “It’s Pat” is a terrible, terrible movie.) The sixth season …

My favorite Christmas movie is headed to Amazon in April. That’s right, I’m talking about “Gremlins.” If you have fuzzy memories about Gizmo and Stripe, you’ve clearly forgotten how dark this movie is.

Hulu also brings the complete sixth season of FX’s “Archer.” This is the season that followed …
