January 2019
before we begin we publish new content
every day so be sure to subscribe to our
channel and ring the bell to get
notified about our latest videos for
this list we’re looking at five of the
best properties that Netflix will sadly
be dropping come January 2019 as well as
five of the best incoming titles for you
to get excited about number five the
shining leaving January 1st 2019 author
Stephen King might not be counted among
its legions of fans but Stanley
Kubrick’s 1980 adaptation of The Shining
is widely considered to be one of the
greatest horror movies ever made the
infinitely quotable performance by Jack
Nicholson is just as compelling and
terrifying after a dozen viewings as the
first time you step into the Overlook
Hotel darling light of my life I’m not
gonna hurt you you didn’t let me finish
my sentence I said I’m not gonna hurt
you I’m just gonna bash your brains the
shining might feel slow by modern horror
standards but give it a chance it’ll
crawl under your skin and lay the eggs
of a very different kind of fear sadly
as of January 1st 2019 you’ll have to go
number five Carmen Sandiego coming
Carmen Sandiego
it’s a name from your past that you
likely haven’t heard or even thought
about in years but if we had to guess
we’d say that the feelings and vague
memories it’s stirring up are
overwhelmingly positive ones the
educational video games were first
released in 1985 and their popularity
saw Carmen become a multimedia
children’s entertainment franchise now
Netflix is reviving the fan favorite
character in an all-new animated series
the first of its kind since 1999 in a
move that shows they have great faith in
the series
Netflix casts such big names as Finn
wolf Hart and Gina Rodriguez the latter
of whom will be voicing the titular
character Carmen Sandiego is incredible
Netflix is doing a phenomenal job is
still geared towards children which is
very cool still very educational but
very very fun number four the Iron Giant
leaving January 1st 2019 director Brad
bird’s first animated feature flopped
spectacularly at the box office but it’s
since become a cult classic
while cinema goers failed to see the
film’s appeal it was not missed by
critics who heaped mountains of praise
upon the heartwarming story it’s a sort
of film that had it been made a few
years later by the good people at Pixar
surely would have been a runaway success
2d animated as it is however the Iron
Giant does it’s 1968 source material
proud at once tapping into sci-fi fears
and exploring the fundamental virtues of
friendship without superficial judgment
as of January first however you’ll need
to look elsewhere for this important
yes someday number four a series of
unfortunate events season three coming
January 1st 2019 hello hello hello
children
we’re the 2004 film with Jim Carrey
failed Neil Patrick Harris and the good
people at Netflix succeeded in launching
a proper franchise a TV series was
always the way to go when adapting the
melancholic tale of the Baudelaire
children season 1 & 2 adapted 4 & 5 of
Lemony Snicket’s novels respectively and
both seasons were met with critical
acclaim being raised in a violent and
sinister environment by a man more
interested in one’s fortune and comfort
and well-being is not better than
nothing with season 3 however we’ve
unfortunately reached the end of lemony
snicket story and it’s time to say
goodbye to the Baudelaire children and
the delightfully evil Count Olaf though
we’re sad to see the series come to its
conclusion we can’t wait to see what
this last chapter has in store number
three
rogue one a Star Wars story leaving
January 18 2019 are you talking about me
when this movie was announced it made
people nervous Star Wars fans were happy
to be getting more content but the
concept of anthology films felt risky
and the story unnecessary thankfully
rogue one proves that even armed with an
unfamiliar cast of characters the galaxy
far far away had more stories worth
telling
starring Felicity Jones and Diego Luna
rogue one shines a light on the once
nameless band of unlikely heroes who
stole the plans of the Death Star I’m
Jonas a daughter of gainin an era you’ve
lost it provides context to the original
Star Wars trilogy in ways we never
thought we needed or wanted we’re really
glad it happened though and we’re sad to
see it leave Netflix number three the
assassination of Gianni Versace American
crime story coming January 17 2019
Versace has invited me to the Opera of
course
yes nobody makes television quite like
Brad Falchuk and Ryan Murphy the same
creative duo that’s brought us such hits
as Glee and American Horror Story with
American crime story pal Chuck and
Murphy serve as executive producers on a
series developed by Scott Alexander and
Larry karaszewski that dramatically
retells some of the greatest most buzz
worthy crimes in American history
after captivating audiences in season
one with the trial of OJ Simpson the
series followed up with the mysterious
killing of fashion icon Gianni Versace
like its predecessor season two was
bombarded with Emmy nominations for
those who missed it here’s your chance
to catch up on one of 2008 team’s best
limited series number two it follows
leaving January 13th 2019 do you guys
yes yeah it’s easy to bemoan the state
of modern horror cinema but films like
it follows inspire hope the premise of
the movie is relatively simple but
expertly executed a supernatural being
pursues its prey mercilessly only
stopping when that person is dead or has
sex at which point the curse is
transferred to the new sexual partner
you get rid of it okay just sleep with
someone as soon as you can just pass it
along the film navigates the familiar
suburban teen landscape in a way that
makes it feel fresh and engages with the
notion of teen sex in a provocative way
Micah Monroe’s Jay is a modern final
girl fit for a new generation helping to
elevate this unique film to the status
of a modern horror classic number two
fire the greatest party that never
happened coming January 18th 2019 hugely
successful music festivals feel like
they’re a dime a dozen these days but a
high-profile event that fails
spectacularly that’s compelling oh God
in this new Netflix original documentary
you’re invited along on a truly unique
experience to a music festival that was
billed as the most exclusive luxurious
event of its kind chances are that most
people watching this video could not
afford to go turns out that’s a good
thing because as the title of this
documentary suggests it never really
happened the brainchild of ja Rule and
Billy McFarland fire was a mismanaged
nightmare worse than anyone could have
imagined and now you get to watch the
chaos from the comfort of your couch
number one The Godfather
leaving January 1st 2019 I wanna make
him an offer you can’t refuse
Francis Ford Coppola in 1972 crime drama
is one of the greatest films ever made
featuring phenomenal performances by
both Marlon Brando and Al Pacino it is
the definitive gangster film surpassing
all others with one possible exception
its own sequel my father taught me many
he taught me keep your friends close but
your enemies closer though it was less
well-received than the original at the
time of its release there are many who
with time have come to feel that The
Godfather Part two is the superior film
expanding upon the original film in
unexpectedly satisfying ways it could be
debated forever all we know for certain
is that both films are fantastic the
third film is weaker but nonetheless
worth watching and all three leave
Netflix January 1st 2019 except this
justice is a gift on my daughter’s
wedding day
before we unveil our top pick here are
some honorable mentions for me at the
risk
[Music]
that’s yes return return wear or return
what I mean
skull seems to have been on his mind
can’t paddle down the river without a
permit if you want to get apply for one
here get some experience and put you on
the wait list there’s a wait list number
one Incredibles 2 coming January 30th
2019
I don’t know that way why would they
change math math is math math making his
second appearance on our list today
Redbirds sure has come a long way after
the Iron Giant he followed up with 2004
s hugely successful Pixar film The
Incredibles I never looked that bad and
it distracts from the now fans
everywhere young and old fell in love
with this remarkably relatable animated
family of superheroes audiences were
clamoring for more but it would
ultimately take almost a decade and a
half before a sequel finally found its
way to theaters thankfully good things
do indeed come to those who wait and in
addition to being a huge financial
success Incredibles 2 proved to be every
inch worthy of the original okay lucky
yes we get to binge watch it on Netflix
starting January 30th do you agree with
