But first, October

Before we get to the November releases, there were definitely some standout new releases in October.

I haven’t seen it yet, but Beckham is getting a lot of love. It’s a four-part documentary series that tells the story of football superstar David Beckham. The documentary follows the ups and downs of his life, including his humble beginnings to global sensation. Beckham also includes lots of never-before-seen footage.

Big Mouth is back! Season 7 dropped on October 20th proving by its popularity that cartoons are not just for kids. The eighth and final season will be out in 2024. Looks like it will go out on top as the series has a 99% rating on Rotten Tomatoes.

Pain Hustlers is an original film starring Emily Blunt, Chris Evans, and Andy Garcia. The film follows a single mother who gets caught up with a shady pharmaceutical rep and ends up a part of a major racketeering scheme.

If you’re a big Kdrama (Korean show) fan like I am, October was a big month for us.  There were the big releases of: Castaway Diva starring Eun Park Bin from Extraordinary Attorney Woo, Doona!, and Strong Girl Nam-Soon. And if you’re not into Kdramas, you can check out this starter guide here. I promise you, once you start, you won’t be able to stop. I’m also going to need up update that list. I’ve watched so many since then.

The “scariest film of the year” hit Netflix on October 26th. That’s what critics at the 2023 Sundance Film Festival said about Talk to Me. It’s directed by YouTubers and twins Danny and Michael Philippou. It’s about a 17-year-old named Mia who finds herself at the center of multiple supernatural events.
