Also among the streaming offerings worth your time, as selected by The Associated Press' entertainment journalists: The long-delayed third album from rapper Roddy Ricch, "The Summer I Turned Pretty" returns for its third and final season and two arcade favorites — Donkey Kong and Pac-Man — get reinvented for gamers.

MOVIES

'How to Train Your Dragon'

Movie theaters are crowded enough this summer that one recent box-office hit is already coming to homes. Universal Pictures' "How to Train Your Dragon" hits premium video on demand July 15, just 31 days after it debuted in cinemas. The live-action remake of the DreamWorks Animation dragon tale has surpassed $500 million in global ticket sale. In her review, AP Film Writer Lindsey Bahr raved: "Unlike so many live-action remakes of animated films, it also doesn't feel superfluous, or, worse, like a poor imitation of its predecessor."

'Billy Joel: And So It Goes'

Billy Joel recently canceled his summer tour after being diagnosed with a brain disorder. But "Piano Man" fans can still get their Joel fix in "Billy Joel: And So It Goes," a two-part, five-hour documentary. Part one will arrive on HBO and HBO Max on July 18, with part two following on July 25. Directors Susan Lacy and Jessica Levin cover Joel's life and career, with interviews with Joel, his family, his ex-wives and musicians including Bruce Springsteen and Paul McCartney.

'Apocalypse in the Tropics'

Petra Costa's "Apocalypse in the Tropics" (Netflix, July 14), documents the rise of the far right in Brazil. Costa's followup to her Oscar-nominated "The Edge of Democracy" digs into the role of the evangelical movement in bringing former president Jair Bolsonaro to power. Bolsonaro is currently standing trial for an alleged coup attempt in 2023, a trial that U.S. President Donald Trump has called a "witch hunt."

MUSIC

Roddy Ricch

Delayed from February, rapper Roddy Ricch returns July 18 with his third album, "The Navy Album." The Compton rapper, who appeared on Kendrick Lamar's "GNX," has put out a few singles from the new collection, including "Survivor's Remorse" and "Lonely Road." The latter features Terrace Martin and was released with a video of him cruising through the city seeing angels and the lyrics: "Roddy rap like the rent due/Roddy tell 'em the whole truth."

Alex Warren

Alex Warren's "Ordinary" has been everywhere in 2025; it's a big, inoffensive ballad with loosely religious themes and meticulously designed to pull at heartstrings. And it succeeds, due in part to the fact that Warren sings in a faux-British accent. On July 18, he'll release his debut full-length on Atlantic Records, "You'll Be Alright, Kid." Expect a lot more soul and get the tissues ready.

Myke Towers

Fresh off a hot new track for the summer blockbuster "F1" soundtrack, Puerto Rican rapper and singer Myke Towers will release a new album, "ISLAND BOYZ," on July 18. It's just what the heart wants during these hot months — feel-good reggaeton, urban pop and Latin trap.

TELEVISION

'The Summer I Turned Pretty'

Are you Team Jellyfish or Team Bonrad? If you have no idea what that means, you probably don't watch "The Summer I Turned Pretty." The show returns for its third and final season July 16 on Prime Video. It's about a young woman named Belly (Lola Tung,) who is torn between two brothers, Jeremiah and Conrad, played by Gavin Casalegno and Christopher Briney. The series is based on a trilogy of books by Jenny Han.

'Surf Girls: International'

In the second season of Prime Video's "Surf Girls" series, cameras follow five up-and-coming female surfers who travel the globe to compete in the Challenger Series. "Surf Girls: International" focuses on both new and returning surfers that were featured in season one. A goal is to spotlight women in a sport that often has been skewed by sexism. All five episodes drop July 17. Reese Witherspoon is an executive producer.

'Untamed'

In the films "The Dry" and "Force of Nature: The Dry 2," Eric Bana played a federal agent investigating murders in his native country of Australia. In the new Netflix series "Untamed," Bana plays a U.S. law enforcement officer investigating the mysterious death of a woman at Yosemite National Park. Sam Neill, Rosemarie DeWitt and Wilson Bethel also star. It premieres July 17.

VIDEO GAMES

Donkey Kong Bananza

For a guy who started off as a villain, Donkey Kong has proven to be one of Nintendo's most versatile heroes, doing everything from driving to playing drums to (seriously) teaching math. Donkey Kong Bananza focuses on what he does best: punching things. Someone has stolen his bananas, so it's up to DK to smash his way through the Underground World in pursuit of the culprits. It's the first 3D adventure for the big lug in a long time, and Nintendo has said it comes from the same team that developed the bestselling Super Mario Odyssey. Start swinging July 17 on Switch 2.

Shadow Labyrinth

Another arcade favorite — Pac-Man — returns in Shadow Labyrinth, although publisher Bandai Namco has radically altered the pellet-chomper. Here, you play as Swordsman No. 8, an explorer who is accompanied by a mysterious yellow orb named Puck. As you traverse the 2D alien world, you may be reminded of a different classic: 1986's Metroid. There are some levels that look more like Pac-Man mazes, though, and you will still hunt and be hunted by ghosts — which are now called "G-Hosts." It's a weird and edgy approach to the legend, and it arrives July 17 on PlayStation 5, Xbox X/S, Switch and PC.
