True crime documentaries – especially those that focus on either serial killers or grisly individual murders – have become so popular that it’s borderline uncomfortable. Anything that features a deep dive account of something so horrific you can barely look away is guaranteed to play like gangbusters among subscribers to any streaming service, with Netflix’s Missing: The Lucie Blackman Case the latest example. Per FlixPatrol, the haunting exploration of the events leading up to, during, and after the brutal slaying of…

You can scarcely surf the great streaming ocean without happening on a serial killer documentary or series, a fact that probably says more about us than the entertainment industry. All options, however, are not created equal. For every few quick-and-dirty procedurals, you’ll find something with real style and personality — something like The Lady of Silence: The Mataviejitas Murders, a zesty doc that walks right up to the edge of dark comedy, peers over the cliff, and takes a cheeky plunge into something weird and…

A Netflix original film, applauded by critics, fails to land the number one spot on the platform’s Top Ten charts. They Cloned Tyrone received rave reviews from critics but hasn’t quite hit the mark in viewership and currently sits in third place out of ten. With a stellar cast that includes Jamie Foxx, John Boyega, and Teyonah Parris, this sci-fi comedy currently boasts a 92 percent certified fresh score on the Tomatometer and a phenomenal 100 percent audience score. Despite this, it seems this hasn’t been enough to…

History has shown that any shared superhero universe not operated by Marvel Studios stands at least a 50/50 chance of crumbling into nothingness at the very first hurdle, so Netflix was potentially setting itself up for a fall after dubbing incoming animated feature Ladybug & Cat Noir: The Movie as its very own MCU. That being said, there’s already a sizeable in-built fandom given that the original series spanned 130 episodes and launched a multimedia empire, not to mention the fact writer and director Jeremy Zag’s…

“A pimp, a ho, and a drug dealer walk into a bar,” says one character in They Cloned Tyrone, writer-director Juel Taylor’s conspiracy thriller/comedy/cautionary tale. It should be noted that the person making this statement is white, racist as hell, and works for a shady branch of the government that you won’t find on the books anywhere. He’s also played by a well-known actor, whose identity we won’t spoil. The villain is describing the film’s trio of heroes, Slick Charles (Jamie Foxx), Yo-Yo (Teyonah Parris), and…
