Fire up the TV: Here’s what to stream in April
Don’t want you to waste your precious time looking for something to watch. Let me point you straight to the good stuff — everything new this month that’s worth a stream. Just remember to spend some time outside, OK?
Netflix
Black leather, bullet time, Keanu: All three “Matrix” movies are on Netflix this month. If that’s not your bag, “Happy Gilmore” with Adam Sandler is always a hole-in-one. Or, treat the kids to “Hotel Transylvania” (and then “Hotel Transylvania 2”).
Shows to watch out for: New seasons of “The Circle,” “Heartbreak High,” “Spirit Rangers” and “As The Crow Flies.” Oh, and all four seasons of adventure series “Black Sails.” No need to pirate it!
Hulu
Lots of cool movies hitting Hulu this month including the star-packed thriller “Don’t Worry Darling,” Cohen classic “The Big Lebowski” and Marvel blockbuster “Wonder Woman.”
Series for streaming: New seasons of “We’re Here” and “Ugliest House in America” — for when you wanna feel better about your fixer-upper.
Amazon Prime Video
You’ve got the ‘80s’ “Top Gun,” the ‘90s’ “Titanic” and the 00s’ Bond flick “Spectre.” Or you could pay homage to the ‘70s with the new Exorcist movie, “The Exorcist: Believer.” Thanks, I’ll pass.
As far as shows go, your best bets are (all the seasons of) “House,” and the latest video-game-to-TV adaptation, “Fallout.” I swear there’s a new one every day.
Max
If you have an extra 20 hours on your hands, you could binge all eight “Harry Potter” movies on Max this month. There’s a ton of other great stuff, like this year’s Oscar-winning “The Zone Of Interest” and early aughts classic “Lost In Translation.” Ooh, maybe I’ll watch when I’m missing Japan.
New show “The Sympathizer,” about a spy in the Vietnam War, is an early winner, plus new seasons of “Moonshiners” and “The Jinx.”
Disney+
The movie highlight is “Wish” — the latest animated movie with Disney’s magic sprinkled on it.
Fantasy adventure series “Renegade Nell” is another fun one for the family. It’s from the mastermind behind hit Brit TV crime show “Happy Valley.” Or, catch the brand-new animated throwback, “X-Men ’97.”
Apple TV+
I loved “Masters of the Air” and “The New Look.” I didn’t really get into “ManHunt” about Abraham Lincoln’s assassination, but Barry did. Last season of “The Reluctant Traveler with Eugene Levy” was fantastic and funny. This new season is horrible and boring.
😅 What’s the difference between Wolverine and Paul Bunyan? One’s Hugh Jackman and the other is a huge ax man. (I know you laughed.)
