What can you can expect to binge on Netflix this month? There is a full listing of what is being add and what is being dropped. The highlight of the month for comedy fans is on May 20th is upcoming Netflix original series of ‘Lady Dynamite’ which profiles one of America’s funniest comedians Maria Bamford in a scripted battles with dysfunction and mental health. Also catch a comedy special under the Kevin Hart banner featuring Chicago’s own Lil’ Rel which is available now.
As for blockbusters and feature length films, one of the highlights is the 90s kids transported to a 50’s black and white TV sitcom world ‘Pleasantville’. This is one of the all time best lost of innocence stories in films with memorable performances from Reese Witherspoon, William H. Macy, Jeff Daniels, and a pre-Spider Man Toby McGuire.
And if you’re a sucker for the memorable 80’s teen movies of John Hughes, Sixteen Candles is available now. Que it in your mind as one of those “If You Haven’t Seen It, Watch It Now” films that plays well on repeats because you can relate to thes ’emo’ characters despite the hairspray, outfits, and other time stamps from the era. If you have ever had a crush on someone, watch Molly Ringwald in this try to make it with Jake Ryan with all of these hilarious distractions around her. – Kevin
