Episode 134: High-Rise, Sicario, The Electric State
We are back again, proving once and for all that What's New to Netflix is the ultimate Netflix podcast, especially when it comes to telling you all of the new titles coming to Netflix in April 2025!

And then we get into The Russo Brothers' The Electric State from 2025. Is it as bad as people say it is? Can Millie Bobby Brown and Chris Pratt salvage this movie, or is this one for the scrap heap? All of this plus the shocking absence of comedy specials and reality shows and the return of Black Mirror and You. got a suggestion for the show?: [email protected]

Episode 133: The Nice Guys (Audio Commentary)
After ten long years of podcasting, it's come to this: another What's New to Netflix commentary episode. We give a full-length commentary to a movie streaming now on Netflix, though in the case of this title, you might have to watch it somewhere else, unfortunately. If you do end up getting the chance to view this flick from the comfort of your couch, you'll be joining us as we watch The Nice Guys, starring Russell Crowe and Ryan Gosling, who, as the poster suggests, are "not that nice." Shane Black directs this goofy period neo-noir from 2016 featuring lots of heavy drinking and limbs getting injured. It's a groovy scene, man! 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 Nice Guys. If you try to listen to this episode and you are not watching The Nice Guys along with us, a lot of this will not make any sense. got a suggestion for the show?: [email protected]

Well, it's time for a new episode of What's New to Netflix Instant!? because it's too damn hot outside and we could all use a fresh podcast to tell us all the new movies and shows to check out while we try not to overheat in June 2023. Also, Tom Hanks is a total curmudgeon who just can't wait to kill himself, but will he go through with it or have a change of heart? We find out when we take a look at A Man Called Otto from 2022. Then, J. Lo is a C.I.A. agent with a teenage daughter who she has to keep safe from some bad guys in The Mother from 2023. And speaking of C.I.A. agents, Arnold Schwarzenegger is about to put that life behind him, but when he finds out his daughter is one too, he has to pull one last job and join forces with her in the Netflix series, FUBAR, from 2023. All of this plus romcoms without the com, movies with lazy titles, that time Mini Coopers were cool, Arnold movies, Extraction 2 spoilers, Suits, Shatner, Skull Island, and shows where actors break their ankle and then have to stand still while they perform action scenes. got a suggestion for the show?: [email protected]

Episode 109: Inside Man, The Negotiator, AKA
Here we are with an accidental hostage-themed episode of What’s New to Netflix Instant!? this month, where we look at three intense action thrillers in addition to running down all of the new stuff hitting Netflix in May 2023. We got even more Denzel Washington, who has been featured a ton on our podcast lately, as Clive Owen holds up a bank and no one knows who is who in the Spike Lee directed, Inside Man from 2006. Next, Samuel L. Jackson is a hostage negotiator who becomes the target of a conspiracy that can only go from bad to worse if Kevin Spacey is the guy who has to save you, in The Negotiator from 1998. And finally, Alban Lenoir might be the best new rising action star in our opinion, when we take a look at the gritty and intense, AKA from 2023. All of this plus reality dating shows are back in a big way, Netflix’s recent bout of controversies, St. Vincent the movie not the musician, E! True Hollywood stories, plastic animation, MerPeople, and the looming mystery of what Heartland is and how it has fifteen seasons. got a suggestion for the show?: [email protected]

Episode 106: 2 Guns, Viking Wolf, We Have a Ghost
We’re celebrating two landmark events on this episode of What’s New to Netflix Instant!? and one of them has to do with it being our eighth year as a podcast! The other is the fact that we are not recording this one over Skype but have met up in person, for the first time since 2020, to bring you everything that is coming to Netflix in March 2023! Then Denzel Washington and Mark Wahlberg team up to steal some money and cause a lot of trouble in 2 Guns from 2013. Afterwards, we go to Norway and watch a teenager transform into a werewolf before wreaking havoc on her small town in Viking Wolf (aka Vikingulven) from 2023. And then we watch as Anthony Mackie’s family befriends a ghost, played by David Harbour, which turns him into a viral celebrity in We Have a Ghost, also from 2023. All of this plus karate sheep, Chris Rock is getting upset, 5-Minute Abs, Survivor-style reality shows, the wrong Sky High, and Netflix wants us to get in shape but also suggests that working out can kill you? got a suggestion for the show?: [email protected]
