20th Century Fox film Aloha with Brad Cooper and Rachel McAdams
Happy long Labor Day weekend to all those in the United States. As we’ve just entered a new month, Netflix added a bunch of new titles (49 to be exact), so let’s take a look at all those new movies and series, plus the other titles that have dropped throughout the week.
As we’re in a new month, we’d recommend familiarizing yourself with all the new arrivals scheduled throughout September 2024, which we’ll continue to track throughout the month. Today, we also saw the removal of over 50 movies and series, including all the Spider-Man movies.
We’ll have a look forward to what’s to come in the next few hours, but until then, here’s your belated recap of everything new on Netflix added over the past week.
What to Watch on Netflix This Labor Day Weekend
Going Varsity in Mariachi (2023)
Rating: TV-PG
Language: English
Genre: Documentary
Director: Sam Osborn, Alejandra Vasquez
Cast: Edinburg North High School’s Mariachi Oro
Runtime: 105 min / 1h 45m
As we first reported, Netflix is the new streaming home for this small yet excellently crafted documentary following teenagers competing in the highly competitive statewide mariachi band competitions in Texas.
Told through a fly-on-the-wall style, this documentary received universally excellent reviews when it first debuted at the Sundance Film Festival and has received a few more this week following its Netflix debut too. Not to be missed.
KAOS (Season 1) Netflix Original
Number of episodes: 8
Rating: TV-MA
Language: English
Genre: Comedy, Drama, Fantasy
Cast: Aurora Perrineau, Debi Mazar, Fady Elsayed
Writer: Charlie Covell
According to the Netflix top 10s, it looks like KAOS is off to a slow start, which may be because of its high-concept nature and the fact that the marketing hasn’t been particularly strong at communicating what exactly this show is. That said, those who have embarked on the journey thus far have been enjoying it on balance when looking through the reviews.
Featuring a star-studded lineup including Jeff Goldblum at the helm, this modern-day set multi-genre show follows Greek gods and an ongoing power imbalance as Zeus spirals into paranoia.
Aloha (2015)
Rating: PG-13
Language: English
Genre: Comedy, Drama, Romance
Director: Cameron Crowe
Writer: Cameron Crowe
Runtime: 105 min / 1h 45m
As for the few new movies that dropped on Netflix, we’re giving a rewatch to Aloha, a romantic comedy that has three heavyweights headlining the cast: Bradley Cooper, Rachel McAdams, and Emma Stone. It tells the story of a defense contractor being forced to choose between two women as he spends time in Hawaii for a satellite launch. It’s cheesy and wasn’t well-reviewed, but the star power is more than enough to hold your attention throughout.
As this is a Sony Pictures movie, you’ll need to be on Netflix’s premium tier to watch as all their movies are still blocked on Netflix’s cheaper ad tier.
