Netflix subscribers and true crime go together like peanut butter and jelly, so I’m not surprised to see the shocking story of Reagan Simmons-Hancock’s murder still holding strong in the #1 spot. It’s one of the wildest cases I’ve ever heard, and I watch a lot of true crime documentaries. “Maternal Instinct” tells the tragic tale of her murder at the hands of Taylor Parker, a young woman who will stop at nothing to build a family with her boyfriend Wade Griffin, a hog trapper from a small Texas town.<\/p>\n

When a state trooper pulls Taylor over in 2020, she claims that she’d just given birth to her newborn baby in her car \u2014 and there’s not a speck of blood in sight. Her story quickly falls apart, and an investigation brings to light the horrifying lengths she would go to in her desperation to become a mother. The case is as tragic as it is shocking, unfolding in horrifying detail through interviews with authorities and family members and friends of both women.<\/p>\n

Inspired by a heartfelt true story, “Song Sung Blue” is a must-watch biopic whether you’re a fan of Neil Diamond or not. Hugh Jackman and Kate Hudson deliver some of the best performances of their career as Mike and Claire, a pair of aspiring performers who find love and purpose through their Neil Diamond tribute act. Equal parts crowd-pleasing musical and underdog drama, it’s got plenty of heart and ear worms to keep your attention.<\/p>\n

The pair first cross paths at a Wisconsin State Fair impersonator showcase and quickly strike up a partnership. As their act gets popular and their family grows, life throws plenty of challenges their way, including a devastating accident and struggles with alcoholism. While the story follows a recognizable rise-and-fall framework, the warmth and chemistry between Jackman and Hudson give “Song Sung Blue” a healthy helping of charm, making it an uplifting watch from start to finish.<\/p>\n

Even if you’re not a huge animation nerdlike me, odds are you’re familiar with Sony Pictures Animation, the studio behind behind last year’s global sensation “K-Pop Demon Hunters” and the “Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse” movies. The Oscar-winning studio is back with “Goat,” another visually stunning adventure with an equally impressive voice cast, including “Stranger Things” stars Caleb McLaughlin and David Harbour, Aaron Pierre, Nicola Coughlan, Patton Oswalt, Jelly Roll, and Stephen Curry.<\/p>\n

In a sports-focused twist on “Zootopia,” “Goat” follows a small goat with big dreams (McLaughlin) of going pro in Roarball, a high-intensity cross between basketball and rugby where only the animal kingdom’s fiercest predators make it out on top. When he finally earns a shot at the big leagues, his underdog journey topples the sport\u2019s long-standing belief that smalls don\u2019t belong on the court.<\/p>\n
