Well, it's time for a new episode of What's New to Netflix Instant!? because it's too damn hot outside and we could all use a fresh podcast to tell us all the new movies and shows to check out while we try not to overheat in June 2023.

All of this plus rom-coms without the com, movies with lazy titles, that time Mini Coopers were cool, Arnold movies, Extraction 2 spoilers, Suits, Shatner, Skull Island, and shows where actors break their ankles and then have to stand still while they perform action scenes.

As we mentioned previously, we have been a podcast for eight years, so that can only mean one thing! That's right, What's New to Netflix Instant!? is doing a full-length audio commentary for a film that's streaming on Netflix right now! This time we're watching World War Z from 2013, the movie where Brad Pitt has to save the world from a zombie pandemic. Will he be able to stop it? Can he protect his family in the process? And what's the deal with that scarf? All of these questions and more will be answered!

WARNING: This is not a typical episode of What's New to Netflix Instant!? This is an audio commentary. This episode is meant to be listened to while you watch World War Z. If you try to listen to this episode and you are not watching World War Z along with us, a lot of this will not make any sense.
