This season, which features a twist towards the end that is reportedly blowing people’s minds, sees Daniel LaRusso and Johnny Lawrence team up against a formidable foe. Even then, they can’t defeat him alone.

Unlike most movies that sees action stars of yesteryear team up and ultimately deliver a poor geezer-teaser, this movie continues to surprise most in delivering an enjoyable ride from start to finish.

Here’s what you can expect if you missed the movie when it was last streaming:

“Cheated out of their pensions, three lifelong friends hatch a plot to rob a bank. But they have to stay one step ahead of the FBI.”


PLAZA CATEDRAL (2021)

Genre: Drama, Thriller

Director: Abner Benaim

Cast: Ilse Salas, Fernando Xavier De Casta, Manolo Cardona

Finally, we always like to give some of Netflix’s international pickups spotlights given they often get buried within Netflix’s 6000+ title library.

On Friday, Netflix added the Panamanian movie that made the shortlist to the 94th Academy Awards for Best International Feature Film.

Plagued by grief and after agtragic accident, the main character in this movie finds her world upended when a street-smart teen crashes into her life with a gunshot wound.

Variety gave the movie a glowing review back in December 2021, saying:

“The truthfulness of the performances renders it moving and genuine, despite the inherent problematics of its focus on the poor boy primarily as an agent of change for the well-off woman.”

The movie is only available with its original Spanish-language audio and English subtitles.
