Streaming became increasingly popular during the pandemic but movie theaters came roaring back with popular must sees this summer.

For those who prefer streaming from home, film and culture writer Marya E. Gates says Adam Sandler fans and basketball lovers will enjoy "Hustle" on Netflix.

Check out their full list of movies, documentaries and independent films not heard on air.
