Da 5 Bloods (June 12th)

Spike Lee’s highly anticipated Vietnam war film hits Netflix in June, and we can’t wait. It centers on a squad of vets who head back to the war-torn country to find their leader and the gold that he hid during the conflict. Da 5 Bloods boasts a cast including Chadwick Boseman, Delroy Lindo, Clarke Peters, Isiah Whitlock, Jr., and Jonathan Majors, Mélanie Thierry, and Jean Reno. It marks the first time the director has made a feature for Netflix.
Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga (June 26th)
If you’re from Europe and/or love campy stuff, you’re probably already aware of the Eurovision song contest. It’s amazing that no one has yet made a movie about this amazing spectacle. Until now.
