'Dolemite Is My Name'
Netflix is telling the true story of the making of Dolemite in its new film Dolemite Is My Name, which is set to be added to the streaming library on Friday, Oct. 25.
Directed by Craig Brewer, the biographical comedy tells the story of comedian Rudy Ray Moore, the "Godfather of Rap," who became a star thanks to his 1970s blaxploitation character Dolemite. At the time struggling with reaching success, Dolemite became the character Moore was best-known for, taking on the persona in both his stand-up routine and a series of blaxploitation films.
Centered on Moore's quest to make Dolemite, the film stars Eddie Murphy as the titular character, Wesley Snipes, Keegan-Michael Key, Snoop Dogg, Craig Robinson, and Rock.

Michael Douglas' Netflix series The Kominsky Method is returning for a second round on Friday, Oct. 25, serving up an eight-episode Season 2.
Created by Chuck Lorre, the Netflix original stars Douglas as Sandy Kominsky, an actor-turned-acting coach in Hollywood, and Arkin as Norman Newlander, Sandy's agent. In Season 2, Sandy will meet and bond with his daughter's new boyfriend while Norman reconnects with an old flame from his youth.
The series also stars Sarah Baker as Mindy, Sandy's daughter, and Last Man Standing's Nancy Travis as Lisa, Sandy's new student. Danny DeVito and Ann-Margret also have recurring roles.

When her daughter is bitten by a rattlesnake, Katrina accepts the help of a mysterious woman who cures her, though she is asked to repay the deed: she must kill someone before sundown , before her daughter's life is once again put in peril.
