Full Stream Ahead: Your best underrated-comedy bets on Netflix, Crave, Amazon Prime Video, Kanopy and the Criterion Channel this May 23-24 weekend GlobeArts
: The endless scroll presented by the streaming world offers plenty of time-wasters and empty distractions from the comedy world. I wouldn’t be surprised if Netflix, for instance, has an entire team dedicated to pushing whatever film is keeping David Spade’s mortgage payments afloat. But what about the comedies that slipped through the cracks? They deserve just as much love.
Following the exploits of three hard-luck West Virginian siblings as they plot a so-crazy-it-just-might-work NASCAR robbery, the film practically bounces off the jailhouse walls with its manic, zippy energy. As expected with a Soderbergh project, there are ambitious twists and a timeline that jumps around just enough to demand a second viewing.
