Voyagers
A crew of astronauts on a multi generational mission descend into paranoia and madness, not knowing what is real or not. A look into real human nature type film from the perspective of teenagers who where literally bred to be earth saving astronaunts and find a future home for humanity. But when the teen boys find emotions and start to destroy their ship. Featuring some talented up and coming young actors, the plot is a good parody of how religion (in this case the fear of god/aliens to explain the unexplainable) has shaped human history and politics.

The Circle (Netflix)
The Circle is back. The reality show that took the internet by storm is making its season 2 debut on Netflix this week, and even though we’ve been basically living in our own version of The Circle, the outright goofiness of the show’s first season is enough to have us, at least, a little excited about this next outing. Plus, as the trailer suggests, this season is gearing up for some new twists and turns: Lance Bass on The Circle?!

Willy's Wonderland
For one man (Nicholas Cage), a job at a defunct amusement park is supposed to just be a source of income. As a drifter, after all, he's never really had a steady stream of money. But what's supposed to be a simple janitorial job turns into so much more once the new janitor realizes that the animatronics seem to be turning against him. Possessed and wild, they are intent upon destroying each other, and any human in their path. Not your usual type of B-movie, but a B-movie that knows what it is and works it stellarly. It's campy and cheesy at times, yet it has a very uniquely Willy's Wonderland feel that really makes you want to immerse yourself in the little world going on there. In a time of a Pandemic, it's great to have something schlocky and out there to not just distract you but to kind of tickle a bit of nostalgia in you.
