Netflix
Even with an already extensive archive of shows and movies, it seems like every week, a wide variety of titles come to Netflix, along with a few that end up disappearing. It can be tough to keep up with what needs to be binged at the moment. That’s why we’re bringing you a round-up of what’s new to Netflix and what’s departing this week of May 26th, including a joint special from two comedy legends and a new season of a documentary series on the toys we grew up on. As we’re approaching the end of the month, there’s also a slew of Netflix deletions, so it’s your last shot at catching some great titles.
The Toys That Made Us, Season 2 (all episodes streaming 5/25)
Toys are a strange thing. They can unlock a child’s imagination or an adult’s nostalgia simply by them holding cheap plastic and making unrealistic gun sound effects. Netflix once again takes us on an in-depth look into the toys that have stuck around the longest, making an impression on generation after generation for decades. Moving on from Star Wars, Barbie, He-Man, and G.I. Joe, Season 2 examines Star Trek, Transformers, Lego, Hello Kitty. It’s a playful, enthusiastic series that embraces what unites the young and young at heart.
Steve Martin & Martin Short: An Evening You Will Forget For The Rest Of Your Life, (streaming 5/25)
Is it possible that the youth of today aren’t familiar with the genius of Steve Martin and Martin Short? It’s a depressing thought. It seems like the two iconic comedians knew that releasing a new special on Netflix would help people remember their skill (and undoubtedly get a big paycheck). Two of the Three Amigos take to the stage for musical numbers, good-natured ribbing, and walks down memory lane. While the special doesn’t re-invent comedy or anything, the pair have still got it, and fans will get more than a couple laughs.
Ibiza, (streaming 5/25)
A PR rep (Gillian Jacobs) and her best friends (Vanessa Bayer and Phoebe Robinson) traverse the streets and drugs of Spain, on the hunt for a DJ missed connection (Richard Madden aka Robb Stark). It’s…ok, if you’re looking for some uncomplicated humor and plot turns, with Jacobs and Bayer doing their best with what they’ve got.
