B Movies Blog

Hello, Movie Mavens! Welcome back to the B Movies Blog. Today, we’re popping the shows I think you should be watching into the ol’ VCR. 

I started a series at Hyperreal called Stream Queen where I go through streaming services and list all of the best horror and horror-adjacent offerings available. After a little hiatus, Stream Queen is back, and this time, I’m sharing some of my favorite shows currently streaming. 

The only difference between a regular Stream Queen piece and this one being, the captions are going to be serious instead of jokes. Although most of these are comedies, I don’t feel great popping off some quips about the subject matter. We’ll be back to our regularly scheduled jokes in the next one! Without further ado, let’s get into the shows you should be watching. 

Note: Yes, I love Yellowjackets, Barry, etc…, but I want to focus on shows I don’t think are getting the attention they should.
