What To Watch On July 30, 2025: Iconic Disaster Comedies And Cutting-Edge Cooking Competitions
Sad as it is to admit, the end of July is looming on the horizon, closing out yet another exciting chapter in the continuing summer season.
As most people head out for the beach or embark on their globe-trotting family vacations, many streaming providers are still hard at work adding a mixture of new and familiar fan-favorite content to their digital libraries, from classic disaster spoofs to underrated sci-fi gems.
Celebrate 45 years of Airplane! on Peacock
Airplane! is celebrating its 45th anniversary this year?! Surely, you can’t be serious! Quite possibly the finest entry in the spoof genre to date, Airplane! also set the boundaries for what a parodical comedy could and should look like. Cobbling together a plot referencing everything from Airport 1975 to The Towering Inferno, Airplane! continues to hold up as an endlessly quotable comedy epic almost every audience member is destined to fall in love with.
Catch up on Top Chef VIP with Peacock
Making its season premiere on Peacock, Top Chef VIP is the first-rate cooking show that will leave viewers’ mouths watering from the opening credits onward. As with each of its preceding seasons, Top Chef VIP finds a group of celebrities putting their cooking skills to the test, forcing them to rely on every culinary trick in the book to avoid weekly elimination from thoughtfully meticulous professional chef judges.
Enjoy an underrated Spielberg flick with 2005’s War of the Worlds on Prime Video
Arguably the closest Steven Spielberg has ever come to directing a horror film, War of the Worlds offers a notably darker portrayal of the sci-fi genre, acting almost as the complete antithesis of Spielberg’s earlier Close Encounters of the Third Kind. A powerful modern translation of H.G. Wells’ classic novel, War of the Worlds also lives on as one of the most woefully misunderstood entries in Spielberg’s filmography, ushering in a chilling sci-fi thriller unlike any other in the director’s career.
