DC’s 90-degree days are finally behind us. It’s almost time to make cider and curl up under some form of flannel, and we couldn’t be happier. Seems like as good of a time as any to get you caught up on what you can now check out from our collection.
Our biggest new title for the second half of September is Mad Max: Fury Road, possibly the best post-apocalyptic feminist action epic featuring a guy chained to the front of a truck playing a flamethrower-guitar (pictured). If you don’t want to watch that for the third time, you may want to start a critically acclaimed television show you’ve meant to watch. And we have several: the first seasons The Knick, The Comeback, The Honorable Woman, and Viola Davis’s breakout hit How to Get Away with Murder are now all available from the library. The more politically minded might also want to see a documentary about the life of the late Gore Vidal.
