what’s new
Rebel Moon Part 2: Scargiver (April 19 on Netflix)
I had mixed feelings about Zack Snyder. Rebel Moon Part 1: Child of Fire, But the main reason was that I went in with very low expectations and then realized that while it ended up not being as bad as I expected, it still wasn’t great. Let’s see if Part 2 “The Scargiver” can bring fans a satisfying ending. If you like quirky space operas and aren’t too into super derivative stories, this might be a fun weekend viewing.
P.S.: Now that you’ve seen the movie, you can read my review here. I wasn’t a fan.
Under the Bridge (April 17 on Hulu)
Lately, I’ve been really into mysteries, under the bridge It seems to scratch the itch well.

Migration (Peacock April 19)
Here you’ll find products for the whole family from manufacturers of. despicable me and minions It’s all about the migration of ducks and other birds, and I think it’s a perfect fit for a streaming service called Peacock. The film was released in theaters last December to decent reviews from critics (72% on Rotten Tomatoes) and positive reviews from audiences (88%).
Black Sails Seasons 1-4 (Netflix, April 17)
I wrote about why you should stream Starz’s historical pirate drama black sail Even though it’s already available on Netflix now, I thought I’d include it in this guide as well. This is a great show (it gets better with each episode), especially if you enjoy adventurous adventures and lots of gritty plots and skull-making.
Late Night With The Devil (April 19th, Shudder)
I’ve been wanting to see it ever since I first saw the super creepy trailer, but I haven’t been able to go to the movies much lately.

This movie looks so weird! Edit: I have AMC+ and just realized it includes Shudder.
In the Land of Saints and Sinners (April 16th VOD)
A gritty Irish crime thriller set in the 1970s starring Liam Neeson. It looks better than anything Neeson has made in a long time. This can still be seen in theaters, but now also on video-on-demand.
Buy on Amazon
Dune Part 2 (April 16th VOD)
i had mixed feelings dune 2, Visually and sonically it’s great, but I thought it was a little thin in terms of plot and characters. Still, if you missed this in theaters (here’s where you really should see it), he’s available to stream on VOD with his upcoming HBO/Max release.
Buy on Amazon
what is going on
I would like to include things from Amazon as well. fall out This series is in the “Ongoing” section of my guide, but they decided to release all the episodes at once, so it’s like almost every Netflix show that only appears in one guide and then disappears forever. It’s progressing like this. However, you can watch that show and some of Netflix’s One and Done in last week’s guide. Also, since this guide is already quite long, I won’t include any trailers and will just speed through the ongoing sections a bit.
