The great exodus from Netflix continues with the newly released lineup of movies and television shows leaving the Big Red Streaming Monolith in September. And it is substantial.
I hope you already watched "The Hangover," just added in July, because that's already gone next month, along with the platform's three remaining "Fast of the Furious" entries, the critically acclaimed combo of "A Clockwork Orange" and "Carol," a handful of Netflix's remaining Disney animated hits ("Hercules," "Mulan" and "Pocahontas") and, for the second time already this year, "The Dark Knight."
Oddly enough, the saving grace of this announcement is that Netflix has already lost most of its prime gems, so there are no real standout picks to lose from its library anymore – though "The Office," "Parks and Rec" and "Friends" have all yet to depart. But those are all almost certainly likely to be gone by next year, as every studio reclaims its property to start their own streaming services – and hopeful Netflix killers. And considering that other studios have decades upon decades of films and TV shows under their umbrellas while Netflix has less than a decade of original works to offer, they might just actually be Netflix killers.

As much as it is a gigantic cliché to say that one has always had a passion for film, Matt Mueller has always had a passion for film. Whether it was bringing in the latest movie reviews for his first grade show-and-tell or writing film reviews for the St. Norbert College Times as a high school student, Matt is way too obsessed with movies for his own good.
When he's not writing about the latest blockbuster or talking much too glowingly about "Piranha 3D," Matt can probably be found watching literally any sport (minus cricket) or working at - get this - a local movie theater. Or watching a movie. Yeah, he's probably watching a movie.
