“IS IT CAKE? HALLOWEEN EDITION” REVIEW — FUN, FLUFFY, AND A LITTLE HALF-BAKED
Netflix’s Is It Cake? Halloween Edition returns with spooky twists, edible pumpkins, and a few groan-worthy jokes.

The beginning was iconic that graveyard setting was such a clever choice.

FAMOUS LAST WORDS: JANE GOODALL’S FINAL MESSAGE TO EARTH
Netflix’s new docuseries Famous Last Words, hosted by Brad Falchuk, takes on a concept that’s both beautiful and unsettling: giving remarkable figures a chance to record a final message before their death.

From the first scene of the first episode, you can tell straight away that it’s going to be a very creepy but disturbing series.
