NEW ARRIVALS

‘Solo: A Star Wars Story’ enters the Netflix galaxy January 1.

While the Star Wars franchise’s most recent entries in the canon have been mixed bags (some love them, other hate them), the ‘Star Wars Story’ entries started off very promising (looking at you, Rogue One). Thus, Solo is no different, filled with the expected space opera fare, while adding some hip nuances and new tricks. Plus, we get Donald Glover as Lando Calrissian, so what’s not to love about this? Stream Solo starting January 1, but be mindful of who shot first.

‘Trigger Warning with Killer Mike’ pops off on Netflix January 18.

I have always loved Killer Mike. His rapping prowess has been around awhile, yet after his star turn in the hip hop power duo Run The Jewels (with the inimitable El-P, a legend all his own), it’s like he has a new lease on his life (not that he never did, this guy is prolific). Trigger Warning seems to be the perfect platform for his unique brand of social activism and sense of humor. The guy is whip-smart, and a pleasure to watch during the interviews. I mean, we’re talking about the guy who freakin’ interviewed Bernie Sanders in a barbershop. Iconic. Watch it when its premiere January 18.

‘Conversations with a Killer: The Ted Bundy Tapes’ creeps to Netflix January 24.

True crime fans, unite! Last Podcast on the Left and My Favorite Murder fans, rejoice! Netflix is bringing more violent lore to digest and stew on. These are exclusive conversations with Ted Bundy, previously unreleased until now. The man’s tale of horror and murder is intriguing because he had the easiest time hiding in the plain sight (his devilish good looks.) True crime stuff can get pretty heavy, so don’t forget your snacks for stress-eating. Watch out for Ted on Netflix starting January 24.

‘COMEDIANS of the world’ streams January 1.

In what is Netflix’s most ambitious comedy special thus far, COMEDIANS of the world offers a bona fide buffet of chuckles and drollery. The roster spans across the globe, from countries such as Canada, New Zealand, France, Africa, and several more. Some familiar American names stick out, like Chris D’Elia and Nicole Byer, but even if those names ring a bell, it’s likely you should stick around and help discover the next big comedic talent rising from the Middle East. An entire Earth’s worth of comedy? An amazing bang for your buck.  Streams January 1.

OUT WITH OLD, IN WITH THE NEW

(or watch these before they’re gone forever on Netflix)

‘It Follows’ leaves Netflix January 13.

It Follows kicked off what has become a revolution in the horror world. Its visceral take on a classic monster trope worked so well that many watchers had to keep one eye open while sleeping. The basic notion is that when two young adults have sex together, it passes this curse between the two. The only way to get rid of the curse is to sleep with someone else, unless the creature kills you first. Maika Monroe does an amazing job in the lead role, and it’s always nice seeing Keir Gilchrist. But what really shines here? The soundtrack. Watch it quick, or it might follow you back. Leaves January 13.

‘Face/Off’ leaves Netflix January 1.

Nicolas Cage? John Travolta? In a movie together? And you’re telling me they switch bodies? Alright, yeah. I’m in. This is Nic Cage before he did some of his best work in Adaptation and can’t we always count on Travolta? Director John Woo was given full creative control in this outing, too, and he’s famous for an action classic, The Killer. Check it out before it leaves Netflix January 1.
