Here at Cord Cutters News, we’ve compiled a list of 5 things you must watch on Max in September.
BS High
The documentary covers the fallout from one of the biggest scandals in the world of high school sports. In 2021, Biscop Sycamore High School had the country talking when they made their debut on ESPN in a football game against IMG Academy. Bishop Sycamore would go on to lose 58-0 in a blowout that had social media talking and ESPN commentators pondering how they made it on the network. It turned out that Bishop Sycamore was a fake school, and BS High documents what happened behind the scenes to create one of the most unbelievable controversies that we’ve ever seen.

Recently, Lanez was sentenced to 10 years in prison for the shooting, however, he’s trying to appeal it later this month. Will there be a season 2? Stay tuned.
Carrie
Stephen King has become synonymous with horror due to his novels being adapted to many films over the years with varying success. One of his most iconic novels turned films is the 1974 classic Carrie. Set in Chamberlain, Maine, the most well-known and arguably best adaptation of the horror novel is the 1976 film. Sissy Spacek stars as Carrie White, a 16-year-old girl who is bullied and mocked by her peers, but she ends up having the last laugh in the critically and commercially successful film. Not only can fans of the series watch the ’76 version, but Max will also be streaming the 2013 adaptation that stars Chloë Grace Moretz as the titular character. Compared to the elder version, 2013’s Carrie wasn’t as well received, but you can stream them both to judge for yourself.
