Celebrating the true American entrepreneurial spirit—i.e., ripping off a bunch of regular people from beneath the ostensible auspices of corporate benevolence—HBO (and its accompanying streaming service, HBO Now ) are going in hard for its new docuseries McMillion$ with next month’s slate of releases. Produced by Mark Wahlberg, the six-part series will begin airing, on both the network and the service, on February 3, documenting a multi-year scheme that saw a security subcontractor steal and sell the vast majority of the million-dollar-winning prize pieces from the McDonald’s’ regular Monopoly promotion.




And if that odd tale doesn’t sate your need for stories of bizarre injustice, you’re still in luck: Next month will also see the return of Last Week Tonight With John Oliver, coming back for its seventh season of dissecting all the most worrisome stories of the day. Other returning series include High Maintenance and The Teenage Psychic, plus the debut of Beforeigners on Feb. 18. HBO is also offering a whole host of short films, all winners from The American Black Film Festival’s HBO Short Film Competition.

Over in the world of longer films, meanwhile, it’s all about artificial young women with proven ass-kicking power: Alita: Battle Angel arrives on the service on February 1, while Annabelle Comes Home does exactly that on 2/22. And if you’re looking for something a little older, you can soothe your frayed Uncut Gems nerves with that other “serious Adam Sandler” darling, Punch-Drunk Love, or get your smooth-talking art thief on with the 1999 version of The Thomas Crown Affair.
