HBO Go/HBO Now subscribers still have three of the cable net’s top hits to keep them entertained this June: Game of Thrones, Veep, and Silicon Valley. But given how traumatic this season of Thrones has been, you may need some alternatives to distract you from the violent crying jags that hit every time somebody holds open a door for you. Thankfully, HBO is about to dry your tears by stranding Matt Damon on Mars.
That’s right, HBO Go/Now subscribers will be able to check out last year’s critically and audience-acclaimed The Martian beginning on June 4. Based on the best-selling 2011 novel by Andy Weir, The Martian stars Matt Damon as an astronaut left behind on Mars after his crewmates believe him to have been killed. Stranded alone on the Red Planet, he must somehow try to survive long enough for a rescue mission to recover him. The flick was nominated for seven Academy Awards, including best actor and best adapted screenplay, and is currently sitting at a damned respectable 92 percent Fresh on Rotten Tomatoes.
