It's almost Pride Month, you guys, so you know what that means: We're about to be smacked in the face with gay for 30 days straight. But don't forget, during those other eleven months of the year, they're still coming after your kids. For instance, here's a scene from a PG-rated Netflix kids' series called Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous, a show I assumed would be okay for my kids to watch, though apparently it wasn't, cuz watch this: A show about dinosaurs running around trying to eat people and they insert a lesbian love scene! That scene comes from Season...

Netflix’s “Cleopatra” documentary has turned into an epic disaster. The audience despises the “woke” show that absurdly portrays a fair-skinned Greek woman as an “African queen.” Adding fuel to the fire, critics have also slammed it, labeling the documentary a complete failure, falling even below the quality of cheesy afternoon soap operas. It’s an embarrassing flop that leaves you scratching your head, wondering why Netflix would humor Jada Pinkett Smith’s inner racist and air such utter trash. On the flip side, Elizabeth Taylor’s rendition of Cleopatra came remarkably close to capturing the essence of the legendary figure. Beauty Flashback: Elizabeth...

Last week, Netflix received public backlash for its planned premiere of the French film Cuties. The promotional poster for the film showed underage girls posing seductively in risqué outfits. Netflix has had a problem with pedophiliac programming for years. Back in 2018, Netflix premiered an Argentinian film called Desire that included a scene of child pornography involving girls under the age of 10. At the time, the news site PJ Media reported the film to the FBI and Department of Justice. The film included a depiction of a child masturbating.

Netflix's Hoops, a raunchy cartoon released on August 21, is definitely for adults. Just as this series isn’t for kids, neither is its main character, Ben Hopkins (Jake Johnson, New Girl), who coaches the Lenwood High School basketball team. .... Beyond enticing minors with pornography, Ben tries to better his team by scouting 16-year-old Matty (A.D. Miles). Ben is so desperate to have an unenthusiastic Matty play that he makes him an offer. “Look, if you penetrate a woman before Saturday, will you play in the game?” Ben asks, taking Matty’s non answer as a yes. Ultimately, Ben decides to...

... Antenna TV is, in fact, the name of a TV channel. It’s just one in a group of quietly successful channels that include MeTV, ThisTV, SmileTV, Laff, Grit, Bounce, Comet, Decades, and more. These are channels fueled by nostalgia for TV from the era when theme songs were a minute long and black-and-white wasn’t just an effect. A time when Johnny Carson was the king of the night and Murphy Brown was a household name. Best of all, you don’t need a subscription to watch — as the name suggests, all you need is an antenna and a TV....

This unsolved mystery is about to take off. On Feb. 15, Netflix released the trailer for its upcoming documentary about missing Malaysian Airlines flight 370, which vanished in 2014 — along with 239 people onboard — while traveling from Malaysia to China. "MH370: The Plane That Disappeared" will explore the evidence that remains and the conspiracy theories spurred by the mystery over the last nine years — including a deep dive into hijacking theories, allegedly suspicious cargo, the pilot's home flight simulator and allegations of "planted" debris after possible remnants were found on an island in the Indian Ocean in...

From streaming platform for half-baked reality dating shows to normalizing electric vehicles. When Netflix engages in shameless product placement, you can be sure it will at least be extra woke. The left-wing steamer has entered a deal to feature General Motors’ electric vehicles in its original movies and TV series, providing the company with a new revenue stream while also burnishing its questionable credentials as a corporate climate crusader. The campaign is also intended to serve as what one GM executive called a “blueprint” for Hollywood’s big push to normalize electric vehicles in the minds of consumers and to “accelerate...

For 2022, Netflix shares dropped 50.6 percent, the most the stock has declined on an annual basis since 2011. For the first time, the once-invincible company lost subscribers for two consecutive quarters, ushering in a period of painful belt-tightening that has included several hundred layoffs. Netflix’s decline outpaced the Nasdaq, which was down 33.1 percent for the year. The left-wing streamer, which continues to have a production deal with Barack and Michelle Obama, is being forced to try new ways to juice revenue. Netflix broke its promise to never have commercials by launching an ad-supported tier in a bid to...

This project is inspired by the life of Nelson Mandela. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have another show heading to Netflix this month—this one not about their love story or royal exit, but about leaders, activists, and individuals who've made a difference in the world. The docuseries, titled Live to Lead, will see leaders and activists "reflect on their legacies and share messages of courage, compassion, humility, hope and generosity," per Netflix.

As Joe Biden continues to bumble on one hand and spew preposterous lies about “ultra mega MAGA Republicans” on the other, Hollywood — like everyone else on the rabid left — continues its meltdown with the midterm elections next Tuesday and all signs pointing to a total disaster for the Democrat Party. So how histrionic have Hollywooders become? Netflix’s Ozark star Jason Bateman pushed Biden to activate the nation’s Emergency Alert System (EAS) to urge voters to vote Democrat in the midterms, parroting Biden’s nonsensical claim that democracy is under threat from Republicans — that histrionic. In the most recent...

@JohnStossel I never thought I’d make a video debunking a TV series. But President Obama’s ignorant Netflix series, “The G Word," deserves debunking. If you don’t want to waste 3 hours watching Obama promote big government, watch this instead:

Netflix is laying off around 300 more employees across the company. The cuts, which represent around 3% of the company’s employee base, come about a month after the streaming company eliminated about 150 positions in the wake of its first subscriber loss in a decade.

Netflix is preparing for yet another wave of layoffs as the streaming platform continues to grapple with plummeting stock values and tanking subscriber numbers. The Los Gatos, California-based streaming giant, which employs 11,000 staffers, is expected to notify those impacted by layoffs at the end of the week, Variety first reported. It comes on the heels of a previous downsizing at the company prompted by the company losing 70 percent of its stock value since the spring.

Layoffs are underway at Netflix today. About 150 positions out of the streamer’s workforce of 11,000 are being eliminated amid a slowdown in the company’s revenue growth. They are largely based in the U.S., with a significant portion in creative, across both film and TV, sources said. A number of those laid off are in the executive ranks, including in original content -snip- “As we explained on earnings, our slowing revenue growth means we are also having to slow our cost growth as a company. So sadly, we are letting around 150 employees go today, mostly US-based,” a Netflix spokesperson...

Netflix delivers worst subscriber performance since Q2 2016; expects subscriber additions to be down year-over-year for first-half of 2021. The ongoing uproar over "Cuties," a French film which most say exploits "children's hypersexualization," may have dented the once solid growth of Netflix. While the company did not mention "Cuties" in their earning report, most analysts the film played some part in the lower than expected subscriber numbers. Read more...

Leonardo DiCaprio is lending his voice to Netflix’s upcoming limited documentary series about election fraud titled Whose Vote Counts, Explained, which debuts on the streaming service on Monday. The Revenant star and climate change activist is also urging his social media followers to register to vote by joining up with Michelle Obama’s When We All Vote initiative.

Several independent sources of data show Netflix cancellations are surging after the 'Cuties' controversy. Cancellations are actually picking up significantly this weekend, according to Google search data. Polls say Netflix crossed the line.

Have you ever watched something that made you gasp in horror?  A recent segment on Tucker Carlson’s Fox News TV show about a new Netflix film called Cuties has awakened the mamma bears in the nation. Cuties isn’t cute; it’s criminal and exploitive of girls 11 years old. The clip is reminiscent of footage obtained by undercover journalists of child sex trafficking victims. Is there nothing Hollywood won’t do to make a buck? How can Reed Hastings, CEO of Netflix, not see the depravity of what his company is promoting? The backlash Netflix has received on social media is appropriate but solves...

Normalizing child sexualization did not start with 'Cuties.' The defensive reaction to it, however, just clarified the stakes for the future. A “story of a girl’s outrage at, and defiance of, a patriarchal order.” Those are words from The New Yorker’s glowing review of “Cuties,” a ghastly French film under fire for scenes depicting the sexualization of 11-year-olds.The review argued that, as the film was directed by an African-French woman, voicing disgust about it is racist. Sadly, in this criticism-of-the-criticism, The New Yorker isn’t alone. The Washington Post’s Alyssa Rosenberg is livid that “Cuties” faced such a massive pushback from...
