Here’s all you need to know if you’re staying in this weekend.

This weekend, a week out from the Bank Holiday weekend, feels like one of those weekends where you’re just not bothered heading out.

You just want to stay in and watch something on Netflix.

And that’s where we come in!

We understand that Netflix almost has too much choice, so we’ve decided to give you our five picks for the weekend and there’s a little something for everyone in here.

Movie: The Goonies

Can you think of a better movie to watch this weekend? Because we most definitely can not.

It’s mad to think that there’s a whole generation of kids that will never have seen this movie until now.

But even if you have seen this before, you definitely do not need an excuse to watch this classic again.

TV show: Making a Murderer

Season two of one of the biggest shows that Netflix has ever produced has been released.

And if you haven’t seen season one, then you’re in even more luck, because you’ve got two seasons to binge-watch.

It might not make for easy watching, but once you start, you’re going to be hooked.

Here’s a timeline of all of the major events that have happened so far.

Stand-up: Joe Rogan – Strange Times

Here, Rogan covers the topics that all stand-up comedians seem to cover these days, but in a unique way.

He discusses serious, topical stuff like sexism and feminism, but manages to put a funny spin on it, without resorting to shock tactics.

Probably not one for the easily-offended though…

Documentaries: Remastered: Who Shot the Sheriff?

In ReMastered: Who Shot the Sheriff?, true crime fans are going to be treated to the perfect blend of gang warfare, political scheming, conspiracy theories, corruption, and the power of music.

Bob Marley fans, true crime fans, music fans; everyone should see this.

Classic: Pulp Fiction

When you think of the word classic, Pulp Fiction immediately comes to mind.

It is undoubtedly one of the best movies of all time, and if you haven’t seen it before, make sure you do this weekend.
