    Jul 17 2026

    What's New to Netflix is alive and well, and we go full speed ahead into some rough terrain with the July 2026 movies and shows that Netflix has got coming out.

    Also, Russell Crowe portrays a boxer that falls on hard times during the Great Depression but has a comeback that takes America by storm in Cinderella Man from 2005. Then it's the remake of House on Haunted Hill from 1999, which may or may not be too twizzy for audiences that didn't grow up shoplifting nu-metal CDs from Best Buy. And we also talk about John Cena and Eric André's new Netflix movie, Little Brother, which somehow saved the formulaic buddy comedy for the foreseeable future.

    All of this plus Mr. Rogers, Mothra, Tom Brady, a backwards movie not being backwards, Emeril, two different Ticks, a house on the prairie that some would call little, The Hunger Games, and Will Ferrell as "The Hawk" in The Hawk.

  • Episode 146: The Expendables (Audio Commentary)
    Mar 31 2026

    Here we go with another special full-length commentary episode, because we've been at it again for another year, and we like to celebrate by watching a film on Netflix with you, the listener!

    This time it's the movie that kicked off an action-heavy franchise featuring all your action hero favorites, including Sylvester Stallone, Jason Statham, Jet Li, Dolph Lundgren, Eric Roberts, and even Arnold Schwarzenegger for a brief couple of minutes, in The Expendables from 2010. It's guaranteed to kick your ass!

    WARNING: This is not a typical episode of What's New to Netflix. This is an audio commentary. This episode is meant to be listened to while you watch The Expendables. If you try to listen to this episode and you are not watching The Expendables along with us, a lot of this will not make any sense.
