STREAMING NOW
“The Volcano: Rescue from Whakaari” (2022)
Follow along with the tense, gripping story of a catastrophic volcanic explosion with the new documentary The Volcano: Rescue from Whakaari,” premiering Friday, Dec. 16, on Netflix. In 2019, the Whakaari/White Island volcanic eruption, which took place just off the coast of New Zealand, had catastrophic consequences that ultimately claimed 22 human lives. This film takes a closer look at the event, as filmmaker Rory Kennedy (“Last Days in Vietnam,” 2014) tracks exactly how things unfolded minute by minute. At the epicenter of it all are a group of 47 tourists who had embarked on a routine sightseeing tour before becoming trapped in a surge of toxic dust and ash. Featuring first-hand accounts of the event, the film paints a harrowing portrait of Mother Nature at her most powerful. With writing by Mark Bailey (“Ethel,” 2012) and Dallas Brennan (“Dealine,” 2004), “The Volcano” is produced by Kennedy, Bailey, Brennan and Justin Wilkes (“Light & Magic”).
“Paradise PD” - Season 4
Get back into the madness with the fourth and final season of “Paradise PD,” the animated comedy series for adults, when it makes its debut Friday, Dec. 16, on Netflix. Following a group of bad cops — meaning bad as in dopey and underperforming rather than corrupt — as they do a notably terrible job of protecting their small, backwater town, this oddball comedy follows the antics of the group, led by Chief Randall Crawford (Tom Kenny, “SpongeBob SquarePants”), as they (sort of) try to do their jobs. Heading into its final season, the series is gearing up to go out with a bang as the town’s cast of characters get themselves into even more off-the-wall shenanigans. Created for television by Roger Black and Waco O’Guin of “Brickleberry” and “Farzar,” “Paradise PD” also voice stars O’Guin, Black, Sarah Chalke (“Scrubs”), David Herman (“Futurama”), Kyle Kinane (“Those Who Can’t”), Cedric Yarbrough (“Reno 911!”), Dana Snyder (“Aqua Teen Hunger Force”) and Grey Griffin (“The Loud House”).
“I Love My Dad” (2022)
The new comedy film “I Love My Dad,” inspired by writer, director and star James Morosini’s (“The Sex Lives of College Girls”) true life experiences, premieres on Hulu Friday, Dec. 16. The film follows Chuck (Patton Oswalt, “The Sandman”), a hopelessly estranged father who desperately wants to reconnect with his troubled son, Franklin (Morosini). Blocked on social media by his son and concerned for his son’s wellbeing, Chuck impersonates a waitress online and starts checking in with Franklin under his new online persona. When Franklin begins to fall for this imaginary girl (played by Claudia Sulewski, “Deadcon,” 2019) and wants to meet her in person, everything starts to fall apart, as Chuck realizes he’s inadvertently catfished his own son. The cast of “I Love My Dad” is rounded out by Amy Landecker (“Dan in Real Life,” 2007), Lil Rel Howery (“Harlem”), Rachel Dratch (“Wine Country,” 2019), Ricky Velez (“The King of Staten Island,” 2020), Sarah Helbringer (“Crown Prince of Christmas,” 2022), Seamus Callahan (“Sweet Thing,” 1999) and new talent Sheri Fairchild.
“Collide” (2022)
The gripping new thriller “Collide” will keep you on the edge of your seat when it joins Hulu’s streaming lineup Friday, Dec. 16. Taking place over the course of one fateful night in an L.A. restaurant, “Collide” follows three couples whose paths cross over in ways they never could have imagined. Hunter (Ryan Phillippe, “Gosford Park,” 2001) finds himself on an awkward blind date with the captivating Tamira (Kat Graham, “How It Ends,” 2018), while busboy Zee (Dylan Flashner, “Bandit,” 2022) and his girlfriend Lily (Aisha Dee, “The Bold Type”) are hiding mounds of cocaine to score a big payday. Meanwhile, outside, Peter (Jim Gaffigan, “The Jim Gaffigan Show”) sits in his car, looking in on his wife’s (Drea de Matteo, “The Sopranos”) affair with the restaurant’s manager (David Cade, “Into the Ashes,” 2019). As their stories weave together, they’re all hurled towards an unexpected and explosive ending. Directed by Mukunda Michael Dewil (“Vehicle 19,” 2013), the film is written by director Dewil and first time screenwriter Moira Dewil.
“National Treasure: Edge of History”
The hunt continues with the latest installment of the National Treasure franchise, the new 10-episode series “National Treasure: Edge of History,” which makes its debut Wednesday, Dec. 14, on Disney+. When an enigmatic stranger gives 20-year-old Jess Valenzuela (Lisette Olivera, “Total Eclipse”) a clue to a centuries-old treasure that might be connected to her long-dead father, her whole life is turned upside down. As she and her friends follow a series of clues hidden in American artifacts and landmarks, Jess’s puzzle-solving skills are put to the test. She races to unravel the mystery and, hopefully, learn the truth about her family’s past. Directed by Mira Nair (“A Suitable Boy”), who also serves as an executive producer on the series, “Edge of History” is written by Gabriel Llanas (“Supergirl”), Maura Milan (“Koreatown,” 2011), John-Paul Nickel (“Just Add Magic”), Paola Villegas Soruco (“The Call of the Void,” 2018), Cormac Wibberley (“L.A.’s Finest”), Marianne Wibberley (“National Treasure,” 2004) and Dwain Worrell (“FBI: Most Wanted”). Justin Bartha (“Godfather of Harlem”), Breeda Wool (“Mr. Mercedes”), Lyndon Smith (“Parenthood”), Joseph D. Reitman (“Happy!”), Armando Riesco (“The Chi”), Tommy Savas (“State of Affairs”), Dustin Ingram (“Good Trouble”), Darri Ingolfsson (“Dexter”) and Salena Qureshi (“The Society”) also star in the series.
“Le Pupille” (2022)
Innocence, greed and fantasy come together in the new short film “Le Pupille,” premiering Friday, Dec. 16, on Disney+. Set at a Catholic boarding school over the Christmas holidays in wartime Italy, the school becomes a breeding ground for rebellion, desires of freedom and surprises of all kinds. The story unfolds as the students of the school let their fantasies run free under the confines of their strict, religious boarding school in a time of desperation and scarcity. From director and writer Alice Rohrwacher (“The Wonders,” 2014), “Le Pupille” stars Alba Rohrwacher (“Hungry Hearts,” 2014), Greta Zuccheri Montanari (“The Man Who Will Come,” 2009), Carmen Pommella (“The Sea Beyond”), Lady Maru (“Moments of NO,” 2017), Luciano Vergaro (“Happy As Lazzaro,” 2018), Carlo Tarmati (“The Wonders,” 2014), Valeria Bruni Tedeschi (“Like Crazy,” 2016) and new talent Melissa Falasconi. The film is produced by Carlo Cresto-Dina (“The Wonders,” 2014), Alfonso Cuarón (“Believe”) and Gabriela Rodriguez (“Roma,” 2018).
“Nanny” (2022)
The American dream isn’t always what it seems, and Aisha (Anna Diop, “Titans”) learns that lesson the hard way in the new psychological horror film “Nanny,” premiering Friday, Dec. 16, on Prime Video. Recently emigrated from Senegal to New York City, Aisha is hired on to care for the child of an affluent couple, played by Michelle Monaghan (“The Path”) and Morgan Spector (“The Gilded Age”), from the city’s upper east side. Hoping this job could be the fresh start she needs, Aisha’s dreams are quickly dashed by the volatility of her new employers’ home life. As the arrival of her own son to the country approaches, a violent presence begins to invade both her dreams and her reality.
“About Fate” (2022)
Does fate play a big role in finding love? It seemingly does in “About Fate,” a romantic comedy about serendipitous love, premiering Friday, Dec. 16, on Prime Video. The story opens with a splitscreen view of real estate agent Margot, played by Emma Roberts (“American Horror Story”), and public defender Griffin, played by Thomas Mann (“Project X,” 2012), as they begin their day on Dec. 30, each with high expectations of a wedding proposal (to/from their respective partners) by day’s end. Of course, things don’t go exactly as planned for either of them: Margot is dumped over dinner by boyfriend Kip (Lewis Tan, “Mortal Kombat,” 2021); and Griffin’s proposal is interrupted by his girlfriend, model-influencer Clementine (Madelaine Petsch, “Riverdale”), who asks him for a do-over on New Year’s Eve so she can record and share the moment with her followers on social media. Here’s where the stories combine: after a few too many drinks, nice guy Griffin mistakes Margot’s apartment for his home, and her bed for his. The next morning, Margot is understandably upset to find a stranger in her home. Ever the nice guy, Griffin agrees to make it up to her by posing as her ex that night for the wedding of Margot’s sister, Carrie (Britt Robertson, “The Longest Ride,” 2015).
