Loki, Star Wars Or Soul: We're Binge Watching Disney+ Hotstar

This widely famous puny god's got a TV show of his own! The first season of what's probably been one of the best Marvel series we've watched in a while (after WandaVision) with a crazy universe-altering truth, which we think will tie into the Antman and Dr. Strange series. 

Loki starts off with our favourite God of Mischief being stranded in the TVA or the Time Variance Authority after he escapes with the tesseract. As the series progresses, you'll see multiple versions of our favourite god and questions arise - was he always meant to be the villain or is there some sort of redemption? It's a must-watch! 

Okay, this is pure retro heaven! For those of you who've watched all of Marvel's Avengers and know the plot inside out, you'd know that Wanda Maximoff and Vision were romantically involved, and after Endgame, their TV spin-off, WandaVision, is a reality-warping series where Wanda tries to live her life with Vision as a normal couple in a small town, with a small house and a picket fence, living the average suburban dream. Each episode is like a loving parody of some of the best sitcoms through the ages. It's stylishly done. The jokes are great, the acting is superb, and you get pulled into this series so fast, it's like you're living in that perfect set up with Wanda herself. Let's not reveal anything else! Watch it, please! 

Finally! Be it The Avengers, Captain America, Black Panther, Ant-Man Wasp, Thor, Spidey, Doctor Strange or Captain Marvel, the whole of the Marvel Cinematic Universe is here for your viewing! We love that the animated ones are available as well, as some of those are almost as good (some even better) that the live action ones. From those, Guardian of The Galaxy and Spider Woman are our favourites.

This one will have you awestruck at how stunning the earth really is. And in a time like this, you will fall in love with nature, as you should, all over again. It has Jane Lynch, Phil Keoghan and wildlife expert Chris Packham take you on an absolutely stellar trip around the world, with focus on wildlife and the great outdoors. Essentially, it is everything you would love to see but never had the change. Be it from trap cameras, places the public isn’t otherwise allowed to go two and with dreamy equipment only National Geographic will have, it’s the ride you never imagined, and it’s all real!

This film is a great nod to Mexican culture, animation that will appeal to all ages, and music. It follows Miguel, whose family has banned music after his great grand father abandoned his wife and child (Coco) to pursue music. Miguel however wants to become a musician like his idol Ernesto de la Cruz. He’s somehow transported to the Land Of The Dead, where he meets prankster Hector, and the two then go on a magical journey into the past where Miguel sees his real family history. But will he also shun music, or will it lead him to a new truth? Watch, and be amazed, and cry, like I did! 

A proper throwback to the 1990s, this one is based on the real life story. It’s about when...hold your breath...in 1988, Jamaica had a bobsled team, that actually qualified for the Winter Olympics to be held in Calgary, Canada. A fabulous and funny film about grit and determination, it sees four Jamaicans practicing on their island, with no ice or snow, and how their manager actually trains them to be a pro team. As with most sports films, this one too is full on emotion, and will pump you up, and make sure you’re rooting for these lads from your couch! 

Before you watch this Disney+ movie, keep plenty of tissue by your side. Why? It features a dog and there's plenty of moments where there will be happy tears, worried tears, and sad tears. Sniff. We wept through most of the movie that's based on the real-life incident of the 1925 serum run to Nome, Alaska where dog-sledge teams relayed diphtheria antitoxin serum 1,100 kilometres to save the town from an epidemic. The film stars Willem Dafoe as the legendary musher Leonhard Seppala who does the run with his equally legendary dog, Togo. 

We can all relate to this one - there's a jazz musician that's stuck in a mediocre job and is waiting for that break, and he finally gets one, but then, one wrong move takes him to another place - the Great Before, where is is expected to help a very young soul so that he can go back to his reality. The movie tackles questions that all of us have never bothered to ask - why are we here? what comes after? It's a scary space to be in, but the movie tackles this theme with such ease. It's a movie about jazz, about death and the beyond. It's also about why we should cherish each moment. Hang on while I play some solid tunes to jazz things up a bit. 

It doesn't get any better than spending your time at home singing Bare Necessities along with Baloo and Mowgli. The live-action and animated versions are both available to stream on Disney+Hotstar and you should do what we did -- watch them both back-to-back. The live-action The Jungle Book is filled with a stellar voice cast and Idris Alba as Sher Khan, Bill Murray as Baloo, and Christopher Walked as King Louie are our favourite voice cast. Excuse as we continue to hum "Look for the bare necessities, The simple bare necessities, Forget about your worries and your strife"

Toys coming to life and going on adventures is what the first Toy Story film is all about. It's one of the best-animated movies out there and whether you are going to watch to for the first time or the millionth time like us, it's going to make you warm, happy, and fuzzy. The loveable duo Woody and Buzz Lightyear voiced by Tom Hanks and Tim Allen respectively are what makes this movie truly special. And the song You've Got A Friend In Me, which we highly recommend you sing along with your BFF. Oh, and in case you are wondering, all the four Toy Story films are available to stream. It'll take you just 6 hours and 19 minutes to binge-watch all of them. To infinity and beyond, right? 

Whether you are a fan of the original trilogy, prequel trilogy or the sequel trilogy, eight of the nine movies are there for you to stream (the one missing is the latest Star Wars: Episode IX – The Rise of Skywalker). If you are the kind of person who's been putting off watching Star Wars forever, maybe now it's the time to be part of The Force. We obviously recommend starting with A New Hope as that's where Darth Vader, Chewbacca, Han Solo, Luke Skywalker, Princess Leia, and R2D2 and C-3PO all make their first appearance. It's part of the original trilogy that consists of The Empire Strikes Back and Return Of The Jedi and the whole trilogy is 6 hours and 17 minutes long.

Time to get the lightsabers out, we say! 

Nat Geo is there on Disney+ Hotstar and one of our favourites series is Gordon Ramsay: Uncharted. Starring the titular chef, the series follows the chef through six different locations around the world. The first episode is in Peru and Gordon Ramsay explores various cuisines and cooks them too. We love how the entire series is both a culinary and visual treat, and gives so much insight into the kind of cuisines that are around the world. Without spoiling much, you need to watch the episodes on Alaska and Laos. You'll probably want to end up going to both the places after the episode. We've currently put flight tickets to Laos on Skyscanner. 

This actor is a proper star! And as eccentric as Goldblum, this documentary matches up to those levels and how! The series follows a curious Goldblum as he rediscovered the most ordinary and mundane things, through a different and more scientific light. It may seem really familiar, but this show will change your mind with the wonders of science and quite fascinating connections between seemingly unrelated things!

We are so excited about the hit Broadway musical to come to the small screen. Hamilton will be releasing on July 3 and if unless one's been living under a rock, then you know why we are excited. Starring Lin-Manuel Miranda as Alexander Hamilton, the founding father of America, this musical which is all by him, is one of the best to grace Broadway. Did you know it won the Pultizer Prize for Drama? Until it releases, we are going to be singing Yorktown, Burn, and of course, the title track, Alexander Hamilton in full volume.  

This supremely fun animated movie has been on everyone's watch list from the day we saw the trailer! You'll see dragons and humans working together, going on an epic adventure that takes you to many places. What we loved is that the movie features Southeast Asian characters, with beautiful visualisation and fun, engaging characters. I mean, it would be, with a story that has five kingdoms named after a dragon's body parts - Heart, Fang, Spine, Talon & Tail. Not revealing any more here, check it out and make a fun day of it. 

PS - Get your snacks ready before you jump straight in!

The dapper Pedro Pascal stars as Din Djarin (The Mandalorian) lone ranger and helmeted bounty hunter in what is the first-ever live-action Star Wars series. For those who don’t follow Star Wars, and for fans too who haven’t been in the loop, this one is created by Jon Favreau (so it comes with solid expectation, of course!) and is set post Return of The Jedi, and before The Force Awakens. This is also the Baby Yoda starrer if you're wondering!

Nothing to beat the original The Lion King with Rowan Atkinson, Jeremy Irons, Whoopi Goldberg and Matthew Broderick voice starring. What fine animation, and it still hits you right in the feels! Which is why, we highly recommend first watching the newer live-action version which has a stellar star cast (including Beyonce, Donald Glover, Seth Rogen and Chiwetel Ejiofor, among others), no less. The newer one has the same story line and the same voice of James Earl Jones for Mufasa, but somehow, it lacks a bit of heart! Then watch the real deal again, and again…

Pro-Tip: Other live action updated films and the original include Dumbo and Aladdin.

Wait, we gotta tell you - there's a deep dark secret that he and his kind hold, and this story's all about accepting him and his kind and creating newer memories with a whole new species! It's got all the feels, so don't forget to check it out!
