Netflix New Releases for April 2017

Netflix's new releases for April 2017 are here and the streaming service has graced us with some good ones. The long-awaited Mystery Science Theater remake Mystery Science Theater 3000: The Return debuts starring Jonah Ray on April 14. On the movie front all-time Spielberg classic Schindler's List is coming as are more light-hearted fare like Tropic Thunder and Gremlins.

Most importantly, however. Get your last rewatch of Firefly in now before Netflix cruely takes it away.

Enjoy the new offerings and hopefully the new weather!
