BBG News

As a seasoned gamer and a true-crime enthusiast who’s been through countless nights of binge-watching mystery shows, horror films, and competition series, I must say that October 2024 is shaping up to be an extraordinary month for us streaming fanatics!

In October 2024, there’s a wide range of choices available, from the humorous The Franchise series to the thought-provoking documentary I Am Not A Monster: The Lois Riess Murders. Don’t miss out on the shows and films we’re most excited about! Take a peek at our recommendations.

Are you excited for a mix of horror films and true crime documentaries this October? Known for their extensive library, both HBO and Max have got you covered, offering some of the biggest movies along with fresh new content that caters to various interests. So, regardless if you’re a fan of horror or not, there will definitely be something for everyone! Let’s dive right in.

The Franchise 

This October, a HBO comedy titled “The Franchise“, an original series, takes the top spot on my must-watch list. With just eight episodes, it promises a brief yet delightful respite for those who prefer to steer clear of horror or aren’t fond of the genre. While I do adore horror and mystery shows, having a hilarious comedy as part of the lineup is always a treat!

I can’t wait for October 6th when “The Franchise” premieres! Each week, we’ll get to follow the hilarious antics of the hardworking cast, led by Himesh Patel, Aya Cash, Jessica Hynes, Billy Magnussen, Lolly Adefope, Darren Goldstein, and more. The comedy focuses on the crew of a franchise film who are overworked and underappreciated. Don’t miss out; here’s the trailer below:

Roller Jam

If you’re someone with a strong competitive spirit, you’d agree that there’s never enough of reality shows, particularly competition series. Max is listening to what the fans are saying and bringing us a new show called “Roller Jam.

Even though I prefer mystery, horror, and comedy over competition series, I’m very excited about Roller Jam! For starters, we love the judge panel! We’ve got Jordin Sparks, Johnny Weir, and Terrell Ferguson. This is it the first-of-its-kid, featuring 10 of America’s best roller-skating teams competing to win the Roller Jam, which includes the prize of $150,000. New episodes of Roller Jam will be available to stream weekly starting Oct. 10 only on Max. 

I Am Not A Monster: The Lois Riess Murders

To wrap things up, I’d like to bring your attention to “I Am Not A Monster: The Lois Riess Murders,” a gripping two-part documentary about an unforgettable murder case from 2018 that sent shockwaves through a small Minnesota community. True crime enthusiasts might remember this sensational story that left the nation stunned. At its core was Lois Riess, a 56-year-old woman who took the life of her husband David, and the subsequent manhunt is nothing short of pulse-pounding. This is an adventure you won’t want to miss! You can catch both parts of this riveting documentary on Oct. 15, exclusively on Max.
