We personally can’t wait to finally bliss out to the new season of Tuca & Bertie (premiering Sunday on Adult Swim), but this week brings plenty of equally exciting movies and shows to the table if the aforementioned animated series about adult bird-women doesn’t strike your fancy. Read on for our latest batch of picks, from the buzzy adaptation of Lin-Manuel Miranda’s musical In the Heights (coming to various theaters and HBO Max on Friday) to the Dedza Films shorts program Who Will Start Another Fire (streaming Friday via SIFF). Plus, don’t forget that the next iteration of The Stranger‘s horror short-film festival SLAY is accepting submissions through September 15! For more options, check out our on-demand calendar or our guide to drive-in movies.
