The I-Land - 12/09/2019
This new series looks sort of like the Fyre Festival documentary meets 'Lost' meets 'The Hunger Games'. Nuts, basically.

They soon discover all is not as it seems and are faced with the island’s extreme psychological and physical challenges, they must "rise to their better selves", or well, die essentially. Harsh.

Tall Girl - 13/09/2019
You may remember Netflix did a big casting call out for this movie last year looking for a very tall girl. Well, they found her. Jodi (Ava Michelle) has always been the tallest girl in school and she's always been uncomfortable with it. After slouching her way through life for 16 years and being made fun of by classmates, Jodi meets Stig (Luke Eisner), a seemingly perfect Swedish foreign exchange student who's even taller than she is. Jodi's new crush turns her world upside down and throws her into a surprising love triangle, but with the help of her two best friends (Griffin Gluck, Anjelika Washington) as well as her beauty queen sister Harper (Sabrina Carpenter), Jodi comes to realize that she's far more than her insecurities about her appearance have led her to believe. 'Tall Girl', which is director Nzingha Stewart’s first feature film, promises to be a heartfelt and hilarious coming-of-age story about finding the confidence to stop slouching and stand tall.

In short, this is bound to be hilarious.
