| Lollapalooza |
I'm a superhero! Here's what's on television for tonight, Saturday, August 5!
Our Top Pick tonight is Lollapalooza 2023 (Hulu, 2 p.m.). The annual Chicago music festival is live-streamed again by Hulu with performers including Maggie Rogers, Pusha T, and Tomorrow x Together. Okay, it's not a strong lineup. Bigger (and better?) names have already played (Karol G, Billie Eilish) and others (Kendrick Lamar, The 1975) aren't part of the live stream. Still, it's Saturday and the top pickings are slim.
Elsewhere, a Chocolate Showdown is back on, AMC+ gets on its Wild Side, there's a Boy in the Walls, Johnson is back, One Piece exits Punk Hazard, Ms. Marvel goes linear, and The CW has a Recipe for Disaster.
