April showers bring May flowers. And what do May flowers bring?! Apparently a massive pile of new releases to Netflix in June. (And pollen.) Indeed, the Big Red Streaming Monolith really loaded up on new movies and TV shows this upcoming month – because hey, gotta get all those subscribers back somehow!

Hot on the heels of "Top Gun: Maverick" taking off in theaters, Netflix will snag several of Cruise's "Mission Impossible" entries and – speaking of action –"The Amazing Spider-Man" and "Eraser," which I strangely remember being the NBC Movie of the Week every single weekend in the late '90s, will also join the fray.

On the topic of throwbacks, the comedy classics "Dumb and Dumber" and "Christmas Vacation" will both arrive on Netflix along with the timeless tear-jerker "Steel Magnolias" and a whole bunch of retro Nickelodeon shows like "All That" and "Kenan & Kel." Hold on, doesn't Paramount own Nickelodeon and have its own streaming service to support? The future of entertainment doesn't make any damn sense. 

Speaking of things that scare and confuse me, "It" – the first part, not the disappointing second half – and "The Mist" will float their way onto the streaming service, along with a plethora of award-winning hits including "The Departed," "The Fighter," "The Hurt Locker," "Philomena" and "Titanic."

Netflix also splurged on the original content for June as well, giving folks plenty of non-pollen reasons to hide inside. If the summer sun isn't hot enough, there's a new season of the game show "Floor is Lava" as well as another round of fresh "Umbrella Academy" episodes.

June will also serve up a brand new version of "Iron Chef" – complete with Alton Brown and the very animated Chairman – a documentary about Jennifer Lopez, a basketball movie starring Adam Sandler that's not "Uncut Gems" and two new big-budget actioners that you'll probably forget you're even watching by the 47-minute mark. That's just what Netflix Original blockbusters do. Also: Are you famous? Then congratulations, Netflix apparently gave you and your friends a comedy special this month as Pete Davidson, Snoop Dogg, Amy Schumer, David Letterman and Bill Burr all have new shindigs to stream.

All of that – including "All That" – is just a glimpse of the new arrivals, so here's the full lineup of movies and TV shows coming to Netflix in June.

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.
