Arnold Schwarzenegger takes on one last job in trailer for Netflix’s FUBAR

By

Arnold Schwarzenegger (The Terminator) has been one of the most influential movie stars of the last 40 years. Now, Schwarzenegger is heading to television to star in his first scripted series, Netflix’s FUBAR.

FUBAR is an action comedy series that follows Schwarzenegger’s Luke, a retired CIA operative pulled back into the business to extract another operative and dangerous weapon from a secret location. Upon arrival, Luke discovers that his daughter, Emma (Top Gun: Maverick’s Monica Barbaro), is also a CIA operative, and that she hid her occupation from her father. Luke must set aside his preconceived notions and team up with his daughter to complete the mission.

Schwarzenegger, an executive producer on FUBAR, returns to his action-comedy roots, a genre made famous by the actor in films like True Lies and The Last Action Hero. When Netflix released the first teaser, Schwarzenegger said, “FUBAR will kick your ass and make you laugh – and not just for two hours. You get a whole season. It’s been a joy to work with [FUBAR creator] Nick [Santora], Skydance, and Netflix to give my fans exactly what they’ve been waiting for.”

One of the most popular crime movies on Netflix deserves another look
Denzel Washington in American Gangster.

For as much heat as they take, there's often nothing quite like watching a great gangster movie. Gangsters are among the most compelling characters in America in part because they seem to be so distinctly American.

If you're looking for a great gangster epic and you've already checked out The Irishman, you might want to spend some time with American Gangster. The movie is a loose adaptation of the true story of Frank Lucas, a gangster who operated in the 1970s and smuggled heroin into the U.S. in American service planes returning from Vietnam. Even as it chronicles Lucas' exploits, it also tells the story of the cop who became determined to take him down.

One of Netflix’s must-see movies in September is this underrated 2000 war movie
The cast of U-571.

While Netflix primarily sticks with films that were released in the past two decades, it occasionally reaches back further to borrow some movies from its studio partners. That's why the streamer is now home to U-571, a World War II submarine thriller that was released by Universal Pictures in 2000.

Jonathan Mostow directed U-571 from a script he co-wrote with Suicide Squad director David Ayer and Sam Montgomery. The film was a modest hit when it hit theaters, and it had an intriguing hook as it followed a crew of American Navy fighters who undertook a risky mission to gain control of a German U-boat submarine to get access to a working Enigma machine. If you know your WWII history, then you should recall that Enigma machines allowed the Germans to send coded messages during the war. Deciphering that code with an actual Enigma machine could -- and did -- change the course of the conflict.

This spooky series is one of Netflix’s most popular shows right now. Is it worth watching?
Jack Huston and Alexandra Daddario in Mayfair Witches.

Last month, the floodgates of AMC opened thanks to a deal with Netflix. For the next 11 months, shows that would have ordinarily been exclusive to AMC+ will be streaming on Netflix, including all of the spinoffs for The Walking Dead. And yet the three AMC programs that are still among the 10 most popular shows on Netflix aren't from that franchise. Instead, Mayfair Witches, A Discovery of Witches, and Dark Winds are the shows breaking out on their new streaming platform.

Despite having similar subject matter, Mayfair Witches and A Discovery of Witches couldn't be more different. The former was created by Anne Rice, and it dives into places that the latter never dared to tread. There's clearly an audience for both of these shows, but for now, we're sharing the four reasons why Mayfair Witches should be your next binge on Netflix.
Alexandra Daddario finally has her own showcase
