Though it appears we'll be plunged back into some sort of London-esque rain fog this week, May is VERY NEARLY HERE. Which, on the one hand, means rooftop bars, Vitamin D, white pants, beaches, and the return of Summer Fridays for all you lucky jerks. On the other hand, the death of another month means Netflix is swapping out a huge swath of their streaming offerings for some...other stuff. Like Zombeavers, "an action packed horrorcomedy about three college girls vacationing at a lakeside cabin. Their carefree fun comes to an abrupt end when toxic zombie beavers try to eat them." Coming to a Roku near you on May 19th! (But seriously, who wants to watch Zombeavers with me??)
