New on Netflix April 8: Metal Lords

New on Netflix this weekend is Metal Lords, a musical masterpiece that is sure to rock your world. This R-rated musical dramedy film tells the story of Hunter (Adrian Greensmith) and Kevin (Jaeden Martell): teenage misfits who want to start a heavy metal band with the goal to enter and win the Battle of the Bands, which will earn them the adoration and respect they have always been denied at school. However, that plan hits a snag when they struggle to recruit a bass player in their school where no one seems to care about metal music — except one talented cellist who might be up for the job. Don’t pay mind to the school setting, Metal Lords is not your average kids’ movie! So if you’re in the mood to rock, check out one of the top movies new on Netflix this month: Metal Lords.

New on Prime Video April 8: All the Old Knives

All the Old Knives is all we can talk about on Prime Video this weekend. Based on the novel of the same name, this thriller film follows CIA operatives — and former lovers, to add a juicy twist — Henry (Chris Pine) and Celia (Thandiwe Newton) as they reunite to go over a case in Vienna from six years ago that could have gotten another agent compromised. Haunted by their former failures, the ex-partners (in more ways than one!) endeavor to work together to get to the bottom of what went wrong in that case in order to put the tragic events behind them once and for all. But all it takes is one dinner for things to take a turn for the worse — and one of them will not walk out alive. Want to know what happens next? Watch All the Old Knives this weekend.

The original comedy series Woke is back for another season new on Hulu this weekend. New Girl star Lamorne Morris returns as Keef, a burgeoning cartoonist whose characters start to come to life after a bizarre encounter with the police. But in this season, Keef is becoming more “woke” by becoming an activist who’s taking on the type of world where being “woke” has become an entire business. Will Keef successfully fight the good fight and win?
