Episode 105: The Taking of Pelham 123, The Pale Blue Eye, The Hatchet Wielding Hitchhiker

What's New to Netflix

It’s time for a new episode of What’s New to Netflix Instant!? and while February may be the shortest month of the year, that didn’t stop Netflix from releasing a whole bevy of new movies and shows coming in February 2023.

Then we watch as John Travolta takes a subway car hostage and it's all up to Denzel Washington to stop him in Tony Scott’s action thriller, The Taking of Pelham 123 from 2009. Next, we witness a grizzly murder that only Christian Bale and Harry Melling, in an excellent performance as Edgar Alan Poe, can solve in The Pale Blue Eye from 2022. And last, we see the true story of a homeless vagrant turned viral celebrity getting convicted of murder in The Hatchet Wielding Hitchhiker from 2023.

All of this plus movies you shouldn’t take your friends to, singing crocodiles, Floribama, the new You, video games on Netflix, everything you ever wanted to know about golf, shark cages, alien astronauts, attractive teens stuck on an island, and what it's like when all the reality dating shows collide into one hot mess.
