🛋️ What to Watch: August 7, 2025 🛋️Star Trek, Houseguest Evictions, & Monkey Business You Won’t Believe

Welcome to The TV Cave's daily TV guide — your snarky, smart, and always-on-point passport to what’s hot, wild, or just plain unhinged on TV today. From mind-bending monkey mayhem to Real Housewives drama so messy it should come with a mop, we've got your screen time sorted.

🌙 STREAMING INSANITY: Start Your Binge at 3AM ET (We Won’t Judge)

🌀 Demascus (Tubi – ALL 6 EPISODES DROPPED)

Genre: Sci-fi | Buzzwords: Reality-bending, Black Mirror vibes, experimental techA man, a machine, and a reality that refuses to sit still. Okieriete Onaodowan (Station 19) takes the lead in this trippy new series, backed by legends Janet Hubert (Aunt Viv!) and Martin freakin’ Lawrence. Binge it before everyone else pretends they “discovered it.”

🐒 The Monkey (Hulu – Streaming Premiere)

Genre: Horror/Thriller | Stephen King ALERT Two Theo Jameses (yes, TWO!) + one cursed wind-up monkey = a death spiral you’ll not want to wind up in. Expect carnage, creepy toys, and all the psychological horror goodness your twisted heart desires.

🚀 Star Trek: Strange New Worlds (Paramount+)

Ancient ruins, eerie secrets, and big sci-fi stakes. If you’re not watching this show, you're missing the best Trek since sliced Tribble. (P.S. That Episode 4 post mortem is juicy.)

🏀 Taurasi (Prime Video – 3-Part Docuseries Premiere)

Legend. GOAT. Diana Taurasi gets the superstar doc treatment. Whether you're a WNBA superfan or just love a gritty sports story, this one slams.

🔪 Ted Bundy: Dialogue With the Devil (Hulu)

Because true crime never sleeps. Newly unearthed 1984 tapes of Bundy helping track another killer (Green River, no less)? It’s creepy, chilling, and completely irresistible.

🔫 Twisted Metal (Peacock – 2 New Episodes)

John and Quiet are pulling off heists, Sweet Tooth’s still unhinged, and the action is as chaotic as your group chat. Catch these two back-to-back for double the dystopian destruction.

📺 PRIMETIME PICKS: 8PM ET

🏠 Big Brother (CBS)

Eviction #4 is coming — and no, we still don’t know why no one ever learns not to trust showmances. Expect tears, betrayal, and Chenbot delivering lines with robotic realness.

🍔 Bob’s Burgers (Fox)

Louise + a bodyguard start-up = your new fave subplot. Also, a mysterious 90s-rock-blasting stolen car? This show stays weird in the best way.

👊 Celebrity Family Feud (ABC)

It’s a Bravo battle royale! Kyle Richards vs Kandi Burruss-Tucker, Housewives edition — plus NFLPA stars bringing the muscle. Survey says: drama.

💋 9PM DRAMA DROP

🖋️ And Just Like That... (Max – Penultimate Episode!)

Carrie’s rewriting her ending, but is she ready to close the book? Expect existential dread in Manolos and emotional scenes with high-gloss filters. (ICYMI: Episode 10 recap = must-read.)

⚽ Necaxa (FXX – Series Premiere, First 2 Episodes)

New team, new drama, old dreams. Club Necaxa’s got big goals and Eva Longoria’s money behind them. Soccer fans, this is your next sports obsession.

💸 Press Your Luck (ABC)

Whammy redemption time! Contestants who bombed before get a second shot at prizes — and possibly more trauma. Spin that wheel, baby.

🎭 The Real Housewives of Orange County (Bravo)

Tamra’s being messy (shocking), Jenn’s not having it, and there’s a riverboat cruise in New Orleans that may sink more than just friendships. #HousewivesGoneWild

👗 LATE-NIGHT FLAIR: 10PM ET

🧵 Project Runway (Freeform)

The designers must turn basic fabric into fierce fashion. Can they werk it or will it flop like a badly hemmed skirt? (Premiere got a “B” grade — let’s see who can bring it up to an A+.)

🧟 Revival (Syfy)

The dead are rising, the living are fighting, and Em's having the scariest night of her life. If you’re into zombies with feelings (and a decent budget), check it out.
