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.
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.
When Sweet Magnolias ended its fourth season on Netflix, it could have served as a series finale. I was really hoping that it was not going to be.
Today, we found out, on World Book Day, that Maddie (JoAnna Garcia Swisher), Dana Sue (Brooke Elliott), and Helen (Heather Headley) will be back to drink more margaritas together. We will just have to wait until the new season to find out if they will be doing it in the same city.
Have you anxiously been waiting to find out what is up next for mother and daughter, Ginny and Georgia, after the shocking season 2 finale? Well. Netflix announced today that they will be back with new episodes on June 5th.
Georgia has just been arrested for murder during her wedding, ruining her fairy tale ending and putting the spotlight on the Millers like never before. It’s always been Ginny and Georgia against the world, but the world has never come for them quite like this. Now, Ginny needs to see where she stands when push comes to shove – It’s the two of them against the world, something Ginny really wants to sign up for?
I watched the second season of Ginny & Georgia, and I honestly don’t remember it. I think I will have to watch it for a recap before June.
Scooby-Doo has been around since 1969, and we have seen him and the Scooby Gang in various iterations. Soon, we will see him in live-action again. This time on Netflix.
A modern reimagining of the iconic mystery-solving group of teens and their very special dog. During their final summer at camp, old friends Shaggy and Daphne get embroiled in a haunting mystery surrounding a lonely lost Great Dane puppy that may have been a witness to a supernatural murder. Together with the pragmatic and scientific townie, Velma, and the strange, but ever so handsome new kid, Freddy, they set out to solve the case that is pulling each of them into a creepy nightmare that threatens to expose all of their secrets.
Greg Berlanti, Executive Producer of Scooby-Doo: “One of my first and favorite jobs in Hollywood was sitting with Bill Hanna and Joe Barbera while they signed animation cells. Josh and Scott and everyone at Midnight Radio have crafted a story that captures their amazing spirits and their genius creation. We are grateful to them and everyone at Warners and Netflix for the partnership in helping bring this iteration of Scooby-Doo to life!”
I am assuming that they are in the early stages of casting. Who do you think they should cast in the infamous roles? I think that Sabrina Carpenter would be a beautiful pick for Daphne, Thomas Kuc (Game Shakers) is a groovy Fred, and zoinks Micah Abbey (TMNT: Mutant Mayhem) would be the perfect Shaggy. However, I can’t think of who should be play Velma.
I am rooting for this show to succeed because two guys from my hometown, Riverdale (ironically enough) are part of it.
