Last weekend, The Fall Guy arrived in movie theaters nationwide to thunderous indifference. It grossed less than $28 million dollars at the domestic box office, which means most moviegoers decided to stay in and check out what’s on their favorite streaming services like Amazon Prime Video, Hulu, and, of course, Netflix. And can you blame them? Netflix in particular has a lot to choose from, from the hit show Baby Reindeer to original movies like Damsel. This weekend, these three movies haven’t gotten much of the spotlight recently, but are worth your time and attention. One is a political thriller starring a pair of Oscar winners, another is one of the great 1980s dramas, and the last one is a comedy starring a bunch of talented Saturday Night Live veterans.

Netflix boasts a diverse collection of sitcoms ranging from classic favorites to modern gems. Whether you’re in the mood for nostalgic callbacks or fresh laughs, these shows are sure to entertain you.

With breakout performances by Richard Gadd, Jessica Gunning, and Nava Mau, ‘Baby Reindeer’ has generated significant buzz and sparked discussions on the nature of truth, consent, and the impact of trauma.

Director Anees Bazmee recently opened up about the challenges and surprises he faced during the making of his comedy blockbuster ‘Welcome.’ Released in 2007, the film starring Anil Kapoor, Nana Patekar, and Akshay Kumar, is still considered a cult classic today.

Bazmee revealed that he was extremely unwell during the shoot, even suffering from a nosebleed while filming a particularly funny scene in the hospital. Despite his condition, Bazmee managed to capture one of the film’s most iconic sequences.

Adding to the drama, a trial show of ‘Welcome’ to 200 people before its release was met with a puzzling reaction. Producer Firoz Nadiadwala was worried as the audience remained utterly unresponsive. However, Bazmee stood by his conviction, and the film went on to become a massive hit, proving that sometimes the best comedy can come from unexpected circumstances.
