LOCKE AND KEY: SEASON 2

“Locke and Key” Season 2, Netflix’s dark fantasy hit is back with 10 action packed episodes in which the forces of good and evil compete for quite literally the fate of the world.

As you may remember from Season 1, “Locke & Key”, based on the comic book series written by Joe Hill and Gabriel Rodriquez, follows the children of the recently murdered Randall Locke as they move to his ancestral family home called Keyhouse and begin to discover its secrets. Tyler (Connor Jessup), Kinsey (Emilia Jones) and Bode (Jackson Robert Scott) find that the house is home to magical keys—and that they are not the only ones interested in the keys. There’s an evil entity named Dodge (Laysla de Oliveria) who wants those keys and will stop at nothing to get them.
Even though you should watch the first season, if you missed it, you can still jump right in with the first episode of Season 2 and get caught up immediately.

Beware: Season 2 is much darker, scarier and more dangerous than Season 1!

INSIDE JOB

“Inside Job” is an animated adult comedy from Netflix streaming on October 22. Created by Shion Takeuchi (“Gravity Falls”) Inside Job takes place at Cognito Inc., a secret organization that covers up the fact that every conspiracy theory is real, and the country and world are run by an evil board consumed with acquiring power and profit. This workplace comedy mocks today’s delusional reality and is less fictional than perhaps, intended.

Over the course of its 10-episode first season, “Inside Job” tells a humorous story of Reagan (Lizzy Caplan) and her dysfunctional co-workers. Regain is Cognito’s resident genius and a woman whose intellectual prowess is matched only by her evil inclinations—conquering the planet is often high on her list of priorities—and, consequently, her desire to ascend the corporate ladder.

LITTLE BIG MOUTH

“Little Big Mouth” is a refreshingly funny South African comedy-romance movie. Kicked out of his band and flat, rock guitarist Siya (#NayMaps) is given a second chance at life and love when he meets Mel (#AmandaDuPont), an accountant, her 9 year old son and father, who owns a bookstore.
Nkosinathi Maphalala, better known as Nay Maps is one of Mzansi’s popular rising actors. With so much charm and talent, we look forward to seeing what’s next for him.

This movie is a feel-good and entertaining film worth watching. Check out “Little Big Mouth’s” trailer below:
