This Week in Netflix New Releases

Stoner humor abounds in this horror sequel that finds the gang from Evil Bong — including Larnell (John Patrick Jordan) and Luanne (Robin Sydney) — traveling to South America to find a cure for the side effects they’ve suffered since inhaling from the original bad-boy bong. Instead, their jungle trek brings them face-to-face with the even more lethal King Bong, and soon, they’re battling both their old enemy Eebee and the killer Poontang Tribe.
The second season of this 1960s sitcom dishes up twice as many shenanigans for weary widow Kate Bradley (Bea Benaderet) and her daughters, Betty Jo (Linda Henning), Bobbie Jo (Pat Woodell) and Billie Joe (Jeannine Riley), at the out-of-the-way Shady Rest Hotel, exactly halfway between Pixley and Hooterville. There’s a new guest at the hotel when Betty Jo takes in a stray dog. But Kate isn’t keen on giving animals room and board.
Granny’s got a little more fight left in her, and to prove it, she sets out to win back her temple — something Miyoko (aka “Shaolin Grandma”) lost a long time ago when she was defeated by martial artist Ippon-ashi. Forced to earn a living as a street performer, Miyoko is now hell-bent on returning to her former mountain home in this kung fu comedy that spoofs director Stephen Chow’s Shaolin Soccer.
Four chapters divide this intense, elliptical family drama that explores a day in the life of each member of a not-so-normal German family, beginning with a son (Frank Droese) who blows off an exam and cruises a local gay video arcade. Meanwhile, the father (Thorsten Merten) hires a prostitute, the mother (Margarita Broich) hits on a handyman, and the daughter (Theresa Scholze) seduces older men on the subway.
Featuring characters spitting hip hop verses instead of dialogue, this explosive urban drama charts the grueling day of young gangster Stick (Sticky Fingaz) as he copes with his friends’ deaths, runs from the police and debates whether to ditch the game for good. This innovative portrayal of thug life co-stars Omar Epps, Mekhi Phifer, Michael Rapaport, Fredro Starr, Faizon Love and Bokeem Woodbine.
Divorced, disenchanted and disinclined to do anything besides smoke dope and watch TV, Achilles (Will Beinbrink) finds his desultory existence turned upside down when he receives an odd inheritance — a camping trailer decked out as a watermelon. Despite reservations, Achilles accepts the “gift,” and soon the parked behemoth is attracting all kinds off oddballs — including the young runaway Achilles finds sleeping there in this romantic comedy.
