April’s coming soon which means insufferable April Fool’s Day jokes, Tax Day, and a new batch of Netflix originals/additions!
The new month includes lovable classics like The Iron Giant, weird blasts from the past (remember when Cats & Dogs arrived during the Renaissance of talking animals movies and Jeff Goldblum is in it?), the maybe-it’s-time-to-watch-this-movie-even-though-you-already-get-the-references films (Seven), and Netflix originals ranging from the amazing (Call the Midwife) to the puzzling (Boss Baby got a television series?). There’s definitely lots to keep you entertained, or at least to have in the background for you to half-watch.
As for what’s leaving the streaming service, say bye to a bunch of American Pie films, Batman, Batman & Robin, Batman Forever, and Batman Returns. What you should absolutely watch before it leaves? Never Let Me Go and Cool Runnings, which are two very, very different movies but both very much worth your time.
As always, let us know what you’re excited to watch and what we should definitely check out before it’s gone!
