We personally can't wait to finally bliss out to the new season of Tuca & Bertie Past Event Like List (premiering Sunday on Adult Swim), but this week brings plenty of equally exciting movies and shows to the table if the aforementioned animated series about adult bird-women doesn't strike your fancy. Read on for our latest batch of picks, from the buzzy adaptation of Lin-Manuel Miranda's musical In the Heights Past Event Like List (coming to various theaters and HBO Max on Friday) to the Dedza Films shorts program Who Will Start Another Fire Remind Like List (streaming Friday via SIFF). Plus, don't forget that the next iteration of The Stranger's horror short-film festival SLAY Remind Like List  is accepting submissions through September 15!

Tuca & Bertie Past Event Like List
Well, ladies, our collective outrage/complaining/petitioning has finally paid off: After Netflix announced it was canceling Tuca & Bertie in July 2019, a year later Adult Swim picked up the grown-up cartoon for a second season. Season two has more of the same genius, highly relatable, and surreal content featuring besties Tuca (voiced by Tiffany Haddish) and Bertie (Ali Wong), and Steven Yeun as Bertie’s live-in boyfriend Speckle. Created by cartoonist Lisa Hanawalt (Bojack Horseman), season two continues the first season's tradition of allowing the episodes to get deeper than your typical adult cartoon, always tackling tough topics and emphasizing the humanity of Bird Town’s cast of animal characters, but balancing that with a remarkably funny script, wildly illustrated jokes, and even some horror elements.

In the Heights Past Event Like List
2015's Hamilton made Lin-Manuel Miranda a household name, but his first major success on Broadway came nearly 10 years earlier with In the Heights, which takes place over the course of three days in the largely Dominican neighborhood of Washington Heights, New York. Now, director Jon M. Chu takes the lead on this buzzy film adaptation with a screenplay by the musical's original writer, Quiara Alegría Hudes, starring Anthony Ramos (who also appears in Hamilton Remind Like List ) as Usnavi, a bodega owner who serenades the block with big dreams of a better life. Even the mildest musical theater fan doesn't need convincing to queue it up on HBO (or see it in theaters).
