### **Top Picks from Netflix’s Top 10**
#### **1. *Fear Street: Prom Queen* (2025)**
If you’re craving ‘80s slasher nostalgia, Netflix’s latest R.L. Stine-inspired horror delivers. While *Fear Street: Prom Queen* doesn’t quite match its predecessors, it’s a blast—packed with big hair, bigger scares, and a killer prom night gone wrong.
Set in the cursed town of Shadyside in 1988, shy high schooler Lori Granger (India Fowler) is stunned when she’s nominated for prom queen alongside the school’s most ruthless popular girls. But the spotlight turns deadly when a masked killer starts eliminating the competition, dredging up dark rumors about Lori’s past.

#### **2. *Nonnas* (2025)**
Vince Vaughn stars in this heartwarming comedy that’s as comforting as Nonna’s homemade pasta. After losing his mother, Joe Scaravella (Vaughn) ditches his career to open a restaurant staffed entirely by Italian grandmothers—played by legends like Susan Sarandon, Talia Shire, and Lorraine Bracco.
Between fiery kitchen clashes and generations-old recipes, *Nonnas* balances humor and heart, proving family (and food) can heal even the deepest wounds.

#### **3. *A Deadly American Marriage* (2025)**
True crime fans, this one’s for you. This shocking documentary dives into the mysterious death of Jason Corbett, killed by his wife, Molly Martens, and her father, Thomas Martens. The pair claimed self-defense, avoided trial via plea deals, and were later released—leaving the truth murky.
Through interviews with Molly, Thomas, and Jason’s family, the film unpacks the divisive case, leaving viewers to question: Was it self-defense or cold-blooded murder?
