In the absence of generally appealing new films and TV series (No. Oscar hopefuls I’m afraid Netflix seems to be looking to the podcast market this month to see how to keep its massive subscriber base happy. New offers in March include a number of documentary series and specials that I would absolutely love to listen to on podcasts. I’ll watch Well I won’t. (I haven’t even seen Ted Lasso.) But you could.
Operation: Varsity Blues (March 17th) is sure to eyeballs, mesmerized as we all are by the college admissions scandal that toppled cultural titans like Felicity Huffman, Aunt Becky of Full House, and the fashion mogul who once designed a paper towel holder I bought from has a goal. Everyone is still pissed off how they already tampered with Hads a system that was already weighted in their favor to get their kids into “good” colleges, and for good reason.
Murder among the Mormons (March 3rd) is a slightly exploitative true crime story that apparently was already a podcast you subscribed to last year but forgot to listen. It deals with a spate of bombings that terrorized Salt Lake City in the mid-1980s.
Last Chance U: Basketball (March 10), an inspirational story of perseverance in the form of Hoop Dreams, is a spin-off of Netflix’s longtime Last Chance U. It shifts the focus from soccer to college basketball players who are in have had problems in their lives and are studying and must play at the junior college level if they hope to get back into the division.
If you have more fiction in your television diet, I personally am curious to see how well the Pacific Rim film series translates into anime in Pacific Rim: The Black, which launches on March 4th (Giant robots in the anime? It just might work!). The Irregulars (March 26th) has great potential for Buffy / Sabrina: a series about young paranormal crime fighters based on Sherlock Holmes’ famous “Baker Street Irregulars”. And then there’s Moxie (March 3), a dramatic film about a girl starting a movie, ‘Zine to Expose the Sexism in Her High School, which sounds pretty culturally relevant and is also the directorial debut of an Amy Poehler.
Here’s everything else that will come and go from Netflix in March 2021.
