Netflix is reviving Star Search
May 14th, 2025 under Netflix. [ Comments: none ]

Between 1983 and 1995, several stars, including Britney Spears, Beyoncé, Kevin James, and Drew Carey, were contestants on Star Search before they became stars. And now Netflix is looking for the next Brad Garrett or Usher.

Each week on Star Search, emerging performers in music, dance, comedy, and kids’ acts will take the stage to compete for a shot at the spotlight. The competition unfolds over time, with eliminations raising the stakes and plenty of surprises along the way. It’s part talent showcase, part high-stakes drama — and it’s all live on Netflix.

If you think you have what it takes to be the next Norm MacDonald or Billy Porter, then you can apply here.

As of now, the streamer has not named who will be the new Ed McMahon or Arsenio Hall, so I have two suggestions. They should ask Martin Lawrence, who competed on the show, or Marc Summers, who did the warm-up.

Carrie should be afraid of Fear Street: Prom Street
April 29th, 2025 under Netflix. [ Comments: none ]

Ever since 1976, proms have never been the same because of Stephen King’s Carrie. Generations were afraid that they would get locked in their school gyms during their proms as a tormented teen covered in pigs’ blood murdered as many of her classmates and teachers as she could before burning it all down.

That was almost 50 years ago. Now, there is a new prom queen in town, and she is giving fear to a new generation of prom goers.

Welcome back to Shadyside. In this next installment of the blood-soaked Fear Street franchise, prom season at Shadyside High is underway and the school’s wolfpack of It Girls is busy with its usual sweet and vicious campaigns for the crown. But when a gutsy outsider puts herself in the running, and the other girls start mysteriously disappearing, the class of ’88 is suddenly in for one hell of a prom night.

Fear Street: Prom Queen dances its way onto Netflix on May 23rd, just in time for prom season…

This is the fourth film in the Fear Street franchise based on R.L. Stine’s books; the first three are streaming on Netflix.

Netflix changes up closed captioning!
April 24th, 2025 under Netflix. [ Comments: none ]

I don’t know about you, but I use closed captioning. Sometimes, you miss a word, and CC helps you understand what you didn’t hear.

Before today, we only knew what dialogue we were missing, but Netflix is changing this up.

From You, which is streaming its final season, on, all new titles will come with a second CC option. When you open the language picker while watching the new season, you’ll now see two subtitle options in English: English, which shows only the spoken dialogue, and English (CC), which includes both dialogue and audio cues like [door slams]. And we’re not stopping at English — these subtitles will be available on all new Netflix originals in every language we offer in addition to SDH/CC going forward.

So, it is like audio description for the hearing-impaired.

On a side note, AD is good when you are watching something in another language and don’t want to read the subtitles. They translate it for you! Now, I have no problem watching foreign language programs that have not been dubbed into English.
