Pixar’s ‘Turning Red’ Tops Nielsen Streaming Chart, Outdoing Netflix’s ‘The Adam Project’ In High-Profile Movie Duel

So many movies are coming to Netflix this summer!

Amber Dowling The debut of Netflix’s “Heartstopper” was the talk of Twitter over the weekend, catapulting over the competition and landing in the No. 1 spot on Variety’s Trending TV chart for the week of April 18 to 24.

Several films and TV shows have been cancelled by Netflix as the streaming giant loses thousands of subscribers, it has been reported. Despite some huge hits like Squid Game and Bridgerton, Netflix revealed a shock fall in subscribers of 200,000 users in the first quarter of the year and its stock price soon dropped by more than 35 per cent.

Lily Moayeri If you weren’t familiar with Harry Nilsson before the first season of Netflix’s “Russian Doll,” you certainly knew his song “Gotta Get Up” after it recurred on all eight of the show’s episodes — every time Natasha Lyonne’s Nadia repeatedly reawakens on the same night after dying in different ways. The second season of the series, now streaming on Netflix, doesn’t have a specific tethering song, but it serves up some choice cuts from the ’70s and ’80s, including Depeche Mode’s “Personal Jesus,” Bauhaus’ “Bela Lugosi’s Dead,” Falco’s “Der Kommissar,” Van Halen’s “Runnin’ With the Devil” and Nena’s “99 Luftballons.”These needle drops are apropos considering the central theme of the new season is time travel — whenever Nadia takes the subway. “We wanted the music to feel authentic and line up with the eras,” says Brienne Rose, music supervisor for “Russian Doll,” co-created and co-written by Lyonne.
