Club Benefits
Netflix is always bringing new movies to its ever-evolving content library, as all the best streaming services do. And while that means there's always something new to watch... it also means staying on top of every single release that you want to watch is a pretty tough task.
If you're planning to spend the weekend on the sofa and want some fresh streaming suggestions, I've got your back. I've looked through what's due to come to the streamer this weekend, or what was recently added to Netflix and picked out a handful of movies you might want to add to your watchlist.
Admittedly, there isn't too much to choose from this weekend, so I've also thrown in "Nope," which landed on Netflix earlier in the month and is, in my opinion, a better choice than last week's big original movie, "Ladies First."
Without further ado, here are the three new-to-Netflix movies you might want to stream this weekend.
Best Netflix movies to watch this weekend
'K-Pops!'
Anderson .Paak's directorial debut, "K-Pops!" is currently sitting at 88% on Rotten Tomatoes, and it's due to land on the streamer this weekend.
Released in 2024, "K-Pops!" follows fish-out-of-water musician BJ (.Paak) as he continues his search for stardom. While trying to revive his music career, BJ lands a job working for the house band on a K-Pop reality competition show in Seoul. While working on the show, BJ crosses paths with his own long-lost son, Tae Young (Soul Rasheed), who is also trying to make it big, and what follows is "an effervescent tribute to K-Pop," as RT's critics' consensus puts it.
Stream "K-Pops!" on Netflix from May 30
'Nope'
Jordan Peele's "Nope" takes us to a horse ranch in rural California and introduces us to siblings Emerald (Keke Palmer) and OJ (Daniel Kaluuya). After their father's sudden, inexplicable death, the pair struggle to keep the family business afloat, and start noticing strange disturbances overhead.
As the weird activity worsens, they commit to try and capture proof of what's going in, roping in a tech store employee and filmmaker to document the phenomena, while a nearby theme park man (Steven Yeun) tries to capitalize on the otherworldly goings-on. But as those uncanny events grow more frequent and more dangerous, "Nope" becomes a fight for survival between those on the ground and the chilling entity above.
'Room to Move'
"Room to Move" is a feature-length documentary from Alexander Hammer that offers an unprecedented look at the life of acclaimed choreographer, dancer and educator, Jenn Freeman.
Pitched as "a groundbreaking portrait of neurodivergence, self-discovery, and the quiet strength of naming your truth," this intimate doc follows Jenn as she navigates an unexpected new chapter in her life: receiving an Autism Spectrum Diagnosis at age 33.
