What To Watch On Peacock After The Olympics Ends

You signed up for a month to watch the Olympics...are there any movies on there in the meantime?

Ok so if you’re like me, you signed up for a month of Peacock to watch the Olympic Games. And it’s been worth it, mostly thanks to Gold Zone. But when August 11 rolls around and there’s no more sports to watch, you may be wondering…are there any good movies or shows I can watch on there while I still have a few more weeks of access?

Fret not, friends. I’ve got you covered.

My general impression of the Peacock library is that it’s a repository for B-movies, micro-indies and other projects that weren’t wanted by anyone else. I scrolled through hundreds of movies with familiar faces and titles I’d never heard of before (for me, that’s pretty hard to do).

Still, hidden in the muck were several gems worth your time. I’m hoping that most of the movies (and the one show) on here are things you haven’t seen, and in a lot of cases haven’t even heard of, so you can discover something new that you love.

As with all these guides, I’m utilizing all of the 1000+ movie suggestions I’ve made over the past six years in my Friday edition of the newsletter, giving you the best of the best.

Much like my Cinephile Bucket List, I’ve broken these down into categories that should help you to browse depending on the vibe you’re looking for on a given night, with blurbs both new and old like a sales pitch to convince you to try out movies you’ve hopefully never seen before.

These guides will be updated regularly on a rolling basis. Next week I’ll have one for Hulu, and unless there is demand for other services, I’ll probably cycle back to Netflix at the start of next month as titles shuffle on and off the platform.

Without further ado, here’s my first (and maybe only) Peacock Streaming Guide!
