Netflix may have dramatically slowed down in churning out adult animated comedies in recent years, but it’s clearly not stopped: Fixed <\/em>is a new movie by the maker of Dexter’s Laboratory <\/em>and Hotel Transylvania.<\/em><\/p>\nFixed <\/em>is about a family’s dog which learns that it’s going to be neutered in one day. To make the most of this final 24 hours he assembles a team of friends and goes on an adventure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Songs From the Hole <\/em>is a documentary movie for which Netflix hasn’t provided a very coherent synopsis, so I’m reading between the lines a little bit in this description.<\/p>\nThe story focuses on a man called James Jacobs, a musician who killed someone aged 15. This doc, which Netflix describes as an “innovative documentary visual album”, was created to chart his coming-of-age while incarcerated. It combines fiction and non-fiction elements with lots of music by Jacobs.<\/p>\n

In some weeks, there are countless international drama series hitting Netflix, but this week we’ve only got one. In The Mud <\/em>is an Argentinian prison drama which lands in its entirety on Thursday.<\/p>\nThe story is about five women who are bonded by a deadly experience, and use this connection to steer each other through the prison system. However their tough journeys threaten to tear them apart, despite their initial unity.<\/p>\n

A fairly big new movie releases this week: Night Always Comes <\/em>is a thriller starring Vanessa Kirby which releases on Friday, August 15.<\/p>\nThe movie follows a woman’s attempts to save her home over the course of one evening, as she undertakes a journey through her city. Netflix’s descriptions are staggeringly vague but the reason I say it’s big are the cast; beyond Kirby there’s Jennifer Jason Leigh, Eli Roth, Rnadall Park, Michael Kelly and Julia Fox.<\/p>\n

The latest in Netflix’s list of docuseries taking aim at pre-Netflix TV shows is Fit for TV: The Reality of The Biggest Loser<\/em>, which consists of three episodes and releases on Friday, August 15.<\/p>\nAs the title tells, this series is about the US competition TV series The Biggest Loser<\/em>, which tasked overweight individuals with losing mass amounts of weight to win. Fit for TV <\/em>charts the rise and fall of this popular show (which ended in 2016, not including a failed revival in 2020) while questioning the real health benefits for this workout regime and the kind of public exposure individuals received.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
