I Give It a Year Sprint Netflix, streaming now Hot off the heels of the concluding part of Simone Biles’s fly-on-the-wall docuseries charting her return to the Olympic stage, we now have the second instalment of Sprint .
Finally, we’ll presumably get to find out where half the Jamaican sprint team went during this summer’s Olympic Games. We’ll also gain insight into what happened behind the scenes at that shambolic 4x100m male sprint relay final, and just how bad Noah Lyles’s Covid actually was. He still decided to compete in the Games despite it affecting his already limited lung capacity thanks to his chronic juvenile asthma.
Expect the usual in-depth exploration of elite athletes from around the globe who dedicate themselves to becoming the fastest people on the planet. Alongside Lyles, there’s input from Sha’Carri Richardson, Gabby Thomas, Marcell Jacobs, Shericka Jackson and the woman of the moment, Julien Alfred. Hot Frosty Hot Frosty Netflix, streaming now Like I said last week, brace yourself for an influx of chintzy and wildly implausible Christmas movies — like this one starring Lacey ‘Gretchen Wieners’ Chabert.
It involves her falling in love with a hunky snowman courtesy of a magic scarf. Lindsay Lohan’s Falling For Christmas has nothing on this schmaltz. Emilia Pérez Netflix, streaming now If you thought the recently released Pedro Páramo was surreal, this Jacques Audiard offering just said, “Hold my beer.

This pivotal moment rejuvenated his career.
Countdown: Paul vs Tyson Countdown: Paul vs Tyson Netflix, streaming now Ahead of Jake Paul taking on the Mike Tyson this coming Friday, this three-part docuseries gives intimate access to the fighters.

Investigation Alien Netflix, streaming now UFO reporter George Knapp explores new evidence, interviews experts, and speaks with witnesses now ready to go on record.
