Netflix weekend watch list (July 26): Ghostbusters, Minions, and more!

As a Netflix enthusiast with a soft spot for binge-watching and movie nights, I can’t help but feel a pang of sadness as summer comes to an end. But fear not! There’s still time to savor the sunny days and enjoy some of the most captivating titles that Netflix has to offer.


As the weeks go by, summer is gradually fading while fall approaches little by little. However, before we move on to the next season, let’s make the most of the remaining days of summer and have some unforgettable movie nights and binge-watching sessions on Netflix!

As a devoted fan of both music and true crime stories, I’m always on the lookout for new and intriguing content that explores the intersection of these two worlds. So when I heard that Netflix had dropped a new original series this week called “Dirty Pop: The Boy Band Scam,” I couldn’t resist checking it out.

As a long-time fan of reality TV and cars, I’m beyond excited about the latest addition to the streaming scene: “Resurrected Rides” on Netflix! Having grown up watching shows like “Pimp My Ride,” I can’t help but be drawn to this new series produced by the same team. Plus, having comedian Chris Redd as the host is an added bonus – his humor and charisma are sure to make each episode a entertaining ride.

As a busy working mom with two young kids at home, I always look forward to my weekends to unwind and relax. And what better way to do that than by exploring new shows and movies on Netflix? I’ve found that keeping up with the latest releases can be a fun and exciting hobby, especially when you discover gems that instantly become your new favorites.

Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire

The most recent “Ghostbusters” film, titled “Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire,” debuted on Netflix on July 22 and instantly became a top-10 hit.

The captivating plot revolves around an ominous force that aims to plunge New York City into an Ice Age. The movie is a heartfelt tribute to Ivan Reitman, the director of the first two “Ghostbusters” films, who tragically passed away in 2022. Don’t miss out on this thrilling blend of sci-fi and nostalgia!

Minions

Currently, “Minions,” the stand-alone film featuring the mischievous yellow creatures from “Despicable Me 4” (now playing in theaters and soon to be available on Netflix), has secured a spot among the top 10 most viewed movies for much of July. Released in theaters back in 2015, this prequel story brought in over $1 billion. Following its success, “Minions: The Rise of Gru” was released as a sequel in 2022, with another installment slated for 2027. Since the wait for the next movie is quite long, why not catch up on the first “Minions” film now on Netflix? Alternatively, you could also enjoy the still-popular “Trolls Band Together.”
