Netflix Now: Epic Social Media Meltdown Edition

By now you've probably heard of Amy's Baking Company in Scottsdale, AZ. The restaurant owners had an epic social media meltdown because of a bats**t crazy appearance on Kitchen Nightmares with Gordon Ramsay. If you haven't he...

Netflix Now: A Bajillion Damn Titles Edition

Man... there are like a bajillion titles that have been added to Netflix's Watch Instantly, probably to make up for the severe title loss last week. It sort of reminds me of a report I saw yesterday via Facebook: the Eas...

Netflix Now: You Blew It Up! Edition

There's very little to be had on Netflix Instant this week, you know why? Netflix is currently in the process of destroying itself from the inside out. First off, a large amount of titles have been dropped (1,795 titles to be...

Netflix Now: Belated Birthday Edition

Last week, I had a birthday that brings me uncomfortably closer to 30. Since I'm a dainty lad, I won't say the number, but let's just say my life is going downhill from this point on. Luckily, Netflix Instant delivered some a...

Netflix Now: Best Korea's Unrest Edition

After last week's Cartoon Network infusion on Netflix Now, we're back to another sparse week, giving me a few extra minutes to look up world news and catch up with current events... and basically worry. Things are getting kin...

Netflix Now: Adventure Edition

If you had any plans to be social for the next few days, you need to cancel them. Loads of Cartoon Network shows are now available on Netflix Instant, including Adventure Time, The Venture Bros., Robot Chicken, The Boondocks,...

Netflix Now: Equality Edition

This week's edition of Netflix Now is on the right side of history. Like Jeffrey Toobin wrote in The New Yorker: "The question about marriage equality for all Americans is not if it will pass but when. The country has changed...

Netflix Now: Austin 3:16 Edition

I sort of miss Austin, Texas right now, not just because of the warm weather, but because I wish I had more time to actually wander around town without the hordes from SXSW. I mean, I didn't even get to watch all the bats com...

Netflix Now: The Twinkies Are Saved Edition

Sure we have some awesome coverage of SXSW 2013 going on, but that's what's less important here. Yesterday by the grace of Jebus and all that is Jebus, a firm made a successful bid for Hostess of $410 million dollars. Which m...

Netflix Now: Don't Mess with Flixist Edition

Flixist is headed to Austin, Texas for SXSW, so this week's edition of Netflix now is just a warning: don't mess with us, suckas. Matt can make all animals (including humans) do his bidding, Geoff can control the elements, an...

Netflix Now: Troy Hurtubise is the Man Edition

It's a really light week on Netflix Now this week. In fact, the only major stuff that pops out are the critically maligned [REC] 3: Genesis, the comedy special Louis CK: Live at the Beacon Theater, and the supposedly pretty g...

Netflix Now: The American Astronaut Edition

Oh man! I remember seeing a trailer for The American Astronaut ages ago at a Madstone Theater (if anyone remembers that awesome, short-lived arthouse chain). I really wanted to see it but missed it during its brief engagement...

Netflix Now: State of The Onion Edition

The state of The Onion is strong. My favorite unused Onion headline was something like: "Man Uses Spork as Knife." You may now applaud. Whereas last week's installment of Netflix Now featured an overwhelming deluge of titles ...

Netflix Now: Abe Froman's Got a Posse Edition

Lots of titles showed up on Netflix Watch Instantly since last week: 201 by my count. Three of them are quintessential 1980s movies: Ferris Bueller's Day Off, Trading Places, and Scrooged. If you haven't seen any of these mov...

Netflix Now: Colin Kaepernick's Magic Arm Edition

Super Bowl XLVII is a few days away, meaning that fairweather football fans like myself have something to watch this weekend (even if it's just for the commercials and high-priced movie ads). As a guy raised in the Bay Area, ...

Netflix Now: Off-Brand Entertainment Edition

Hey everyone, did you know that Dredd made a ton of money in home video sales despite tanking in the box office? Although that means diddly squat to the big cheeses who could make a sequel (since box office > home video), ...

Netflix Now: Danny Trejo's Foreign Beard Edition

Remember how I kept talking up how great Butter seemed last week? Turns out it wasn't so great, and that makes me sad. I mean, if I can't look forward to cute film about butter carving, then what can I look forward to? Oh wel...

Netflix Now: Video Killed the Radio Butter Edition

It's my first shot at one of these (since Hubert is out for a few weeks), so I'll keep it simple and we can all get back to watching awesome Netflix stuff. Lately I just went and saw all seven seasons of How I Met You Mother,...

Netflix Now: Flimsy Resolution Edition

You spent an entire afternoon writing your New Year's Resolutions and most of you have already broken them. It's okay, though. Just buy looser pants and enjoy all the cheese you want like proper human beings. If you're into s...

Listen, the world isn't going to end. We're going to be okay. People put too much faith in ancient hunky firemen calendars. But if you believe in the Mayan doomsday stuff, give me your money right now because Nostradamus said...
