We’re now fully into the flux of fall and hopefully where you are, the leaves have fallen, crisp breezes are stirring, and life is a series of coffee to soup to hot cider and back again for the next couple of months. The rest of us are dealing with heat, weird precipitation, and more heat. Life isn’t always fair.

But hey, no matter where you live or visit, there is access to HBO Max. Whether the weather is cool or scorching, you can always just stay inside and enjoy the programming on the HBO Max streaming service until Warner Bros.

With all that depressing stuff out of the way, here are some facts about the movies and TV shows being brought onto HBO Max for the time being.
