3. Little Nicky

Arguably Adam Sandler at his best, Little Nicky follows the son of Satan as he’s sent to earth to stop his brothers from killing his father, Satan. Love him or hate him, Sandler is a 13-year-old boy’s favorite movie genre. The nonstop stupid, ridiculous, and sometimes dumb humor boasts little more than dumb fun.

Sometimes, it’s okay to watch something that’s dumb fun, and what better than a comedic classic? I mean, who doesn’t want to see German dictator Adolf Hitler getting a pineapple shoved up his colon every day while wearing a tutu?

Boasting a cast of comedic gold, this film includes Dana Carvey, Jon Lovitz, Rodney Dangerfield, Peter Dante, and an appearance of Ozzy Osbourne that couldn’t be more Ozzy if it tried. Little Nicky is a good break from all the chaos of real-life so make sure you catch it before it leaves the streaming service on Feb. 28.

4. Bates Motel

A prequel to the 1960 Alfred Hitchcock film, Psycho, this psychological thriller follows Norman Bates and his mother Norma before the events of the film. While it isn’t an exact prequel, the show has some good moments.

The final season eventually leads to the “adaptation” of the movie onto the small screen – I put adaptation in quotes since it’s loosely based on it. Fans of horror films and show burns will love this show.

The show begins as Norma’s husband dies and Norman’s mental illness becomes dangerous and shows to affect his everyday life. Bates Motel leaves the streaming service on Feb. 19, so catch it while you can!
