August Watchlist: What’s Worth Watching This Month

In this episode of Geek Freaks Headlines, Frank shares his top TV picks for August 2025. Curated by his brother Jonathan (a busy dad who only has time for the best), this watchlist spans genres and platforms—from Jason Momoa’s epic Hawaiian saga Chief of War to the return of Peacemaker. You'll get personal insights, production notes, and recommendations for binging. Whether you're into sci-fi rom-coms or gritty reboots, there's something here for every kind of geek.

Timestamps:
00:00 Intro and how this list came together

00:41 Wednesday Season 2, Part 1 on Netflix

Key Takeaways:

  • Chief of War looks like a Hawaiian Shogun, blending epic storytelling with top-tier Apple TV production.

  • The King of the Hill reboot sticks to the tone of the original while updating its themes for modern audiences.

  • Wednesday is pivoting more toward Addams Family weirdness and less teen drama—finally.

  • Outlander: Blood of My Blood is perfect for period drama fans, even if you're new to the franchise.

  • Alien: Earth promises more grounded, character-driven storytelling than past Alien entries.

  • Peacemaker returns with multiverse hijinks and another killer soundtrack.

  • Upload wraps up with a final season worth binging—quirky, funny, and surprisingly emotional.

Memorable Quotes:

"It's giving Shogun vibes, but Hawaiian production—I mean, it's Apple TV, it's top notch."

"The amount of people who don't know about Upload is criminal."

"Last month I was in the theater like twice a week. I need to take a break. My Fandango card is burnt and spent."
