North Korea Sentences Man to Death for Smuggling Copies of Squid Game
A man who allegedly smuggled copies of Netflix’s South Korean thriller Squid Game into North Korea has been sentenced to death after authorities caught high schoolers watching the show. RFA, a US-headquartered independent news agency, reported (via Variety) that the man carried episodes of Squid Game on USB flash drives obtained in China. The smuggler faces death by firing squad, which doesn’t sound too far off from the occurrences in the show. “A student who bought a drive received a life sentence, while six others who watched the show have been sentenced to five years hard labor, and teachers and school administrators have been fired and face banishment to work in remote mines,” RFA reported.

Netflix Orders Blockbuster Comedy Series Starring Randall Park
Blockbuster is coming to Netflix. The streaming giant has announced it’s given a series order to a new comedy set in the last remaining Blockbuster video store in America. The single-camera comedy will be led by Randall Park, serving as the Marvel Cinematic Universe vet’s return to comedy after six seasons on ABC’s Fresh Off the Boat and a stint stepping back into Agent Jimmy Woo’s shoes for Disney+’s WandaVision. Call it the ultimate twist of fate, but producers for the 10-episode Netflix series have even bought the rights to use the one-time video franchise’s logo and uniforms in the show — a far cry from the days when Blockbuster dismissed the offer from Netflix creators Reed Hastings and Marc Randolph to sell the then-fledgling DVD-focused startup to the video rental behemoth for $50 m...

It will happen, someday, but as f...
Best Spring Break Never: New ‘Stranger Things 4’ Trailer Goes Back To Cali
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: YouTube / Netflix November 6 is the annual Stranger Things Day, which is all well and good. We’re here for it because this year it meant a new trailer for season 4 of his Netflix series Stranger Things, whose release was delayed to Summer 2022 thanks to the pandemic. In the clip, with Jeremiah Burnham’s “A Place In California” playing as the background music, Eleven writes a letter to her now-boyfriend Mike, we assume, detailing finding a home in Cali, and actually liking school, and how she can’t wait to see him during Spring Break. It’s all dreamy and cheesey, and filled with 1980s nostalgia until gun blasts, explosions and the general chaos we’ve come to love from Strangers Things come into play towards the end of the trailer. Also revealed were the ti...

The trailer begins with a voiceover in which Eleven pens a love letter to Mike (Finn Wolfhard) back in Hawkins. Watch the trailer and se...
Carole Baskin Sues Netflix for Using Footage of Her In Tiger King 2
Chances are that during the early weeks of the pandemic, you spent more time with Carole Baskin than your best friends.

According to Variety, the colorful couple filed suit in their Tampa hometown Monday (November 1st) against both Netflix and the show’s production company, Royal Goode Productions.

The Baskins also added that they...
Giant “Red Light, Green Light” Doll From Netflix’s Squid Game Appears in Sydney
Residents of Sydney, Australia received an extra spooky treat for their Halloweekend. Netflix commissioned a massive replica Squid Game’s perilous Red Light, Green Light doll, who will keep its watchful eye over Sydney’s The Rocks neighborhood until Monday (November 1st). According to Perth Now, the doll stands at just under fifteen feet tall and weighs three tons. It stays loyal to the doll’s functions in Squid Game, possessing the ability to turn its head and chant “red light, green light.” Its eyes can also detect any movement from players who don’t keep still.

Netflix Unfurls Trailer for Season 2 of The Witcher: Watch
“Destiny is a beast.” So goes the logline for the Season 2 trailer of The Witcher, which Netflix dropped this afternoon. Stream it below. In the clip, a narrator warns Henry Cavill’s Geralt of Rivia, “Something has changed, Geralt. The world’s acting strange these days. The North and South at war. Monsters roaming when they should be hibernating. Maybe it’s the end of days.” The titular witcher’s response? “I’ve lived through three supposed ‘end of days.’ It’s all horseshit.” As a hard-charging rendition of Kanye West’s massive 2010 hit “Monster” plays over top, the trailer then teases out all the palace intrigue, empire building, and battle preparations that will go down in the fantasy series’ sophomore season — not to mention Cavill taking on assassins, magic, and a particularly gru...

The five-minute Instagram clip features the comedian addressing the furor, which led LGBTQ+ employees and allies at Netflix to stage a walkout in protest of what they considered transphobic hate speech by the comedian and CEO Ted Sarandos’ initial handling of the situation. “It’s been said in the press that I was invited to speak to the transgender employees at Netflix, and I refused. That is not true,” Chappelle said at the outset in front of a live audience at a show of his reportedly taped in Louisvill...
