Hulu. And several Democratic presidential
candidates gather for a climate forum.What’s Streaming
ANIARA (2019) Stream on Hulu; rent on
Amazon, Google Play, iTunes, Vudu and
YouTube. This sci-fi drama from the direc-
tors Pella Kagerman and Hugo Lilja is
based on a downbeat 1956 poem by the
Swedish Nobel laureate Harry Martinson.
Like its source material, the movie is about
humans traveling beyond the confines of
Earth’s atmosphere, yet is supremely claus-
trophobic. It centers on a spaceship
knocked off course, out of fuel and losing
hope. The crew of the ship, which had left
an Earth in environmental ruin and headed
for a colony on Mars, includes MR (Emelie
Jonsson), whose situation becomes increas-
ingly grim. “At times, the commitment to
bleakness feels artistically admirable,” Teo
Bugbee wrote in her review for The New
York Times. “The film unblinkingly faces
the void, and it refuses to console the audi-
ence, which has come along for the ride.
But mostly, this is a movie that simulates
the experience of losing the will to live, a
daunting premise even for the bravest
voyagers.”
CLIMATE FORUM 2020Stream on NBC News
Now. After a town hall on global warming
held for Democratic presidential candidates
earlier this month by CNN, the Georgetown
Institute of Politics and Public Service,
MSNBC, the environmental news service
Our Daily Planet and New York magazine
will host a climate forum at which several
candidates will have further opportunity to
communicate their views on how to ad-

Seth Rogen cut up a full chicken: Great
news! You’ll be able to see that within the
latest set of episodes in this cameo-heavy
cooking and travel show, hosted by the
director Jon Favreau and the chef Roy
Choi. The new episodes also include a stop

Guerrilla Tacos, a lesson in oyster harvest-

There, the pair visit an on-site garden at

a quip from Choi that tidily shows off the
pair’s friendly chemistry: “It’s like
lightsaber color.”What’s on TV
