Netflix only has one title hitting the service this weekend – and it’s a horse drama aimed at children. Fortunately, a bunch of killer content dropped earlier in the week, so you still have plenty of movies and TV shows to sink your teeth into this weekend. Here’s the full list!
The third season of the phenomenally popular Stranger Things dropped onto Netflix yesterday. If you haven’t watched it yet, make this your top priority for the weekend. The other big release of the week was The Last Czars, which charts the tragic and bloody downfall of Russia’s last monarch and his family.
Movies worth catching up on this weekend include Monty Python’s The Meaning of Life, Elizabeth: The Golden Age, The Thing, Mama , 7 Pounds, and Van Helsing (which is way more fun than you probably remember). Fans of teen movies can also re-watch Sixteen Candles and Easy A.
Here are the official synopses and trailers for each film and TV show.
