Perfect Comedy On Netflix Laughs In Death’s Face
By Chris Snellgrove
| Published

The Addams Family has never been too afraid of death, possibly because they know just how impermanent it really is. After all, this is a franchise that refused to die: after the ‘60s show was canceled after only two seasons, the show lived on through cartoons and TV specials before properly coming back to life with two successful blockbuster movies that defined an entire generation. Now, Wednesday has relaunched the brand yet again, and the success of that show has ensured that an Addams Family cinematic universe is right around the corner.
However, shortly before Wednesday made everyone embrace their inner goth, we got an entirely different franchise production: The Addams Family (2019), a slick, CGI cartoon that lovingly embraced the aesthetics of the original Addams Family comic strips. It’s a movie that honors the franchise in a surprisingly robust way while providing something fun for the entire family to enjoy. If you’re ready for something creepy, spooky, and altogether ooky, it’s time to stream The Addams Family on Netflix!
The Original Goth TV Family Is Back

The premise of The Addams Family is that the titular clan of weirdos has established a new home for themselves in New Jersey, essentially isolating themselves from the outside world. That isolation is brought to a forcible end when a crazy reality TV show host makes it her personal mission in life to destroy the Addams’ mansion and drive the family away, all in the name of creating a perfectly planned community. The film is ultimately a story about fitting in versus standing out, with the Addamses impressing upon their children the need to never let anyone change who they really are.
As with many animated blockbuster movies, The Addams Family has a cast full of big names, starting with Oscar Isaac (best known for Ex Machina) as Gomez Addams. His loving wife, Morticia, is played by Charlize Theron (best known for Mad Max: Fury Road), while Wednesday is played by Chloë Grace Moretz (best known for Kick-Ass). Rounding out the immediate family is Puggsley, played by Stranger Things icon Finn Wolfhard.
Big Names Made This Movie An Explosive Hit

Believe it or not, this is just scratching the surface of big names in this film. The Addams Family also features voice work by Nick Kroll and deceased comedy legends Bette Midler and Catherine O’Hara. Even Snoop Dogg makes a crowd-pleasing cameo that firmly establishes how well the two directors (Greg Tiernan and Conrad Vernon) understood the assignment.
After The Addams Family hit theaters, its success was anything but ‘altogether ooky.” Against a budget of $24 million, it earned $204.4 million. This was enough success (you could fill Gomez’s vault with all that money!) to earn a sequel, and The Addams Family 2 came out in 2021. More broadly speaking, the success of this first film signified that The Addams Family was still a viable brand, and development on the highly successful Wednesday television show started the same year this earlier movie hit theaters.
The Critics Were Shocked (And Not In A Good Way)

When The Addams Family came out, it quickly revealed a major divide between critics and audiences. On Rotten Tomatoes, the film has a 46 percent rating, with critics complaining that this was too sacharine of a story for the most macabre family in American history. But the movie has a 70 percent audience rating and earned itself a follow-up film, both of which prove how popular this quirky cartoon was for general moviegoers and not snobby critics.
If you’re a diehard fan of the franchise like I am, you’ll likely enjoy The Addams Family for hewing so close to the original source material. The character design faithfully recreates Charles Addams’ original art, and the film does an excellent job of channeling these characters’ familiar dark humor. It’s still family-friendly enough to watch with your kids, but the onscreen hijinks of this glum, sometimes gruesome family are perfect for any parents sick of watching cartoons as shiny as they are mindless.

Additionally, the star-studded cast does an excellent job of bringing The Addams Family to life. Nobody phones in their performances here, and longtime fans will be excited by how Oscar Isaac channels the manic charm of John Astin’s original performance as Gomez. Meanwhile, Chloë Grace Moretz channels the dry wit of Christina Ricci’s Wednesday from the ‘90s, effectively paving the way for Jenna Ortega’s sinfully sardonic performance as the titular star of the Wednesday TV show.
The Family That Streams Together Screams Together

Even if you’re not a huge fan of the franchise, though, it’s easy to love The Addams Family for what it is: a well-produced tale of outsiders discovering that what makes them weird is also what makes them strong. It’s a universal message that will resonate particularly well for anyone who has learned the value of found family or, for that matter, anyone who felt like an unwanted outcast when they were growing up. That makes this the ideal movie for former weirdos to share with their children, effectively breaking the outcast cycle in a way that helps you bond with your children.
Will you agree that The Addams Family is a perfectly creepy, family-friendly comedy, or will you want to shut this thing off and just go watch Jenna Ortega dance instead? The only way to find out is to stream this slice of gothic grandeur for yourself on Netflix. Afterward, you can always stream the sequel on the same streamer, just in case you end up loving this film as much as Puggsley loves bombs!

3 Best Shows To Watch on Prime Video This Week (March 2-6)
This week, MrBeast’s reality competition show Beast Games is back at the top of Prime Video’s TV rankings with the recent conclusion of its second season. A game show that’s essentially an attempt to make a non-lethal real-life version of Squid Game, the series sees 1,000 contestants compete for a $5 million cash prize. The series has been pretty controversial and critically panned since it first debuted in 2024, but it’s also proven to be massively popular with Prime Video subscribers. However, in case you’re not one of those millions of fans, there’s still plenty of entertaining shows to watch on the streaming service. So, without further ado, here’s a look at three great shows that we think you should binge on Prime Video this week, including the perfect Bridgerton replacement for fans who are still reeling from that season finale.

‘My Lady Jane’ (2024)
In case the end of Bridgeton Season 4 has left you craving more gorgeous period dramas, My Lady Jane may be just what the doctor ordered. A historical romantasy adapted from the novel by Jodi Meadows, Brodi Ashton, and Cynthia Hand, the show was created by Gemma Burgess and reimagines the life of 16th-century noblewoman (and briefly Queen) Jane Grey, starring Emily Bader in the titular role. Edward Bluemel, Anna Chancellor, Rob Brydon, Jordan Peters, Kate O’Flynn, and more star in other key roles, with Oliver Chris narrating the story as the Author.
An imaginative and beautifully produced costume dramedy, My Lady Jane combines an exciting semi-historical story with fantasy elements, specifically shapeshifting humans called Ethians, which add further complications to its turbulent and unpredictable narrative. The show had its world premiere at the 2024 Tribeca Film Festival, earning critical acclaim, and was well-received by reviewers and audiences alike after its Prime Video debut, yet it was cancelled after just one season. Though the show may have been cut short ahead of its time, the one season it did get to do is a hilarious and entertaining watch, elevated by its performances, writing, and energetic rock soundtrack.
2
‘Reacher’ (2022–Present)
One of Prime Video’s most successful shows, Reacher is a crime series adapted from Lee Child’s Jack Reacher novels. Alan Ritchson stars as the titular hero, a former U.S. Army military police officer who travels the country running into various crimes and conspiracies that he thwarts using his formidable strength, skills, and intellect. The show also stars Malcolm Goodwin, Willa Fitzgerald, Maria Sten, Serinda Swan, Anthony Michael Hall, and more in notable roles.
Reacher’s first season debuted to great reviews and record-high viewership in 2022, and it’s been wildly popular ever since. Beloved by new audiences and novel fans alike, Reacher is a pulpy and entertaining series anchored by Ritchson’s charismatic lead performance. The show has had three hit seasons so far, faithfully adapting the novels Killing Floor, Bad Luck and Trouble, and Persuader, and a fourth season inspired by the novel Gone Tomorrow is currently in the works. A spin-off series focused on Maria Sten’s Frances Neagley is also currently in the pipeline and expected to be released sometime this year.

‘Chloe’ (2022)
Created by Alice Seabright, Chloe is a British psychological thriller miniseries starring Erin Doherty as Becky Green, a lonely young woman who’s obsessed with her estranged childhood friend’s suicide. Assuming a fake identity to investigate, she creates an exciting and addictive parallel life that’s better than her real one in every way, until she risks losing herself completely. Besides Doherty, the series also stars Billy Howle, Pippa Bennett-Warner, Jack Farthing, Akshay Khanna, Brandon Micheal Hall, Lisa Palfrey, and more, with Poppy Gilbert as the titular Chloe.
A gripping mystery thriller with themes of obsession, deceit, identity, and grief, Chloe was widely acclaimed during its original run, particularly for Doherty’s performance. While the plot can get a bit uneven, the series is an excellent and timely thriller overall, carried by the layered and entertaining central character. It’s a smartly written, brilliantly performed, and highly suspenseful story told over six bingeable episodes.

What Is President Donald Trump’s Neck Rash? Doctor Details Cause
Donald Trump’s doctor gave some insight into the neck rash that has been spotted on the back of the president’s neck in recent weeks.
“President Trump is using a very common cream on the right side of his neck, which is a preventative skin treatment,” Dr. Sean Barbabella said in a statement to CNN on Monday, March 2. “The President is using the treatment for one week, and the redness is expected to last for a few weeks.”
The medical professional did not reveal the reason why Trump, 79, needed the cream. The White House has not addressed the president’s skin issue.
Earlier on Monday, Trump participated in the Medal of Honor Ceremony at the White House. During the event, Trump was seen with what appeared to be a red rash with scabs on the back right side of his neck. The skin issue could be seen near the president’s hairline and extended to the collar of his shirt.
This isn’t the first time Trump has been seen with skin issues. He has previously been photographed with bruises on his hand that sometimes have been covered by makeup. White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt addressed Trump’s bruising in a February 2025 press conference.
“President Trump has bruises on his hand because he’s constantly working and shaking hands all day every day,” Leavitt said at the time. “President Trump is a man of the people. His commitment is unwavering, and he proves that every single day.”
Later that year, Barbabella revealed that Trump, who is the oldest president to take the oath of office, was diagnosed with chronic venous insufficiency. The condition is a form of venous disease that occurs when veins in a person’s legs are damaged, per the Cleveland Clinic.

“In recent weeks, President Trump noted mild swelling in his lower legs,” Barbabella wrote in a note read by Leavitt in a July 2025 press conference. “In keeping with routine medical care and out of an abundance of caution, this concern was thoroughly evaluated by the White House Medical Unit.”
Barbabella’s note added that the chronic venous insufficiency is a “benign and common condition, particularly in individuals over the age of 70.” He reiterated that Trump is in “excellent overall health.”
Earlier this year, Trump shared that his bruising was a result of the amount of aspirin he takes. In a January 2026 interview with the Wall Street Journal, Trump revealed he takes 325mg of aspirin a day (According to the Mayo Clinic, the typical daily dose for aspirin therapy ranges between 75 mg and 325 mg.)
“They say aspirin is good for thinning out the blood, and I don’t want thick blood pouring through my heart,” he told the outlet. “I want nice, thin blood pouring through my heart. Does that make sense?”
Later that month, Trump was seen with a bruise on his left hand instead of his right. (Trump shakes hands with his right.)
Leavitt revealed that the left-handed bruise was caused by Trump hitting his hand into the corner of a table.

General Hospital 2-Week Spoilers March 2-13: Sonny Reveals Devastating Truth & Kristina Unleashes Her Fury!
General Hospital 2-week spoilers for March 02 – 13, 2026 expect Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) make a major confession and Kristina Corinthos-Davis (Kate Mansi) absolutely rage.
General Hospital Spoilers: Monday, March 2nd: Chase Faces Consequences and Kristina Questions Fairness
On Monday, March 2nd, Brook Lynn Quartermaine (Amanda Setton) and Harrison Chase (Josh Swickard) find out something really upsetting. This could be about his future at the PCPD or possibly about their adoption plans. Nathan West (Ryan Paevey) talks to Brook Lynn and Chase up at General Hospital, and those two look very worried.
This may be about the PCPD situation. Ned Quartermaine (Wally Kurth) updates Chase on his heart condition, and he’s glad Ned is making his health a priority. Then he asks Chase about his priorities, and Ned thinks Chase’s loyalties lie with Willow Tait (Katelyn MacMullen) instead of his wife Brook Lynn. Chase is shocked and tells Ned he deeply regrets what he’s done and is going to fix it.
Will Brook Lynn Doubt Chase?
Tracy Quartermaine (Jane Elliot) talks to Brook Lynn, maybe about the Chase and Michael key incident, and asks if she knows for sure or just wants to believe it. Will Tracy have Brook Lynn doubting Chase’s innocence in planting it? Also, Kai Taylor (Jens Austin Astrup) gets an offer. Willow may want him to work for her like he did for Drew Cain Quartermaine (Cameron Mathison).
Also, District Attorney Justine Turner (Nazneen Contractor) tells Dante Falconeri (Dominic Zamprogna) and Nathan the last lead was a bust. The key incident makes it nearly impossible for them to keep looking into Michael Corinthos (Rory Gibson) as a suspect, and Chase made the PCPD look bad.
Michael opens up to Jacinda Bracken (Paige Herschell), likely about the Drew key incident and Chase’s involvement. Michael tells someone Dante wants to see him. Kristina asks Sonny, “How is that fair?” Has she heard about Willow getting Drew’s seat instead of her mom? Kristina was excited about Alexis Davis (Nancy Lee Grahn) getting the job, and now she’s been passed over for Willow.
General Hospital: Laura Looks at Ezra
Laura Spencer (Genie Francis) sees a different side of Ezra Boyle (Daniel Cosgrove). Look for recast Patrick Lewis to take on the role of Ezra short term. He and Laura have another chat, and she may see Ezra’s just as trapped and under Jenz Sidwell’s (Carlo Rota) thumb as she is. The usual actor was stuck in an ice storm and couldn’t get to LA to film, so they needed a fill-in.
Laura asks Willow if she plans to use her position to settle her own scores. I’m sure she tells Laura no, but come on, of course Willow’s planning on that. Curtis Ashford (Donnell Turner) makes a choice, maybe about finalizing divorce from Portia Robinson (Brook Kerr). Trina Robinson’s (Tabyana Ali) parents come together to see her and they look tense. Curtis and Portia might be breaking the news to Trina that their marriage is one hundred percent over.
Tuesday, March 3rd: Sonny’s Confession and Carly Hits Paydirt
On Tuesday, March 3rd, Sonny makes a confession. Maybe to Justine, or maybe to someone like Ric Lansing (Rick Hearst) about her. Carly Corinthos Spencer (Laura Wright) hits paydirt. She’s at Wyndemere looking alarmed this week.
Marco Rios (Adrian Anchondo) is trying to get a dose of Britt Westbourne‘s (Kelly Thiebaud) meds as Lucas Jones (Van Hansis) demands but faces a problem. Is he seen by Pascal? Marco heads up to General Hospital this week to see Lucas and they look really stressed.
Tracy and Alexis get an update from Jason Morgan (Steve Burton). Is it about Michael or Anna Devane (Finola Hughes)? Portia feels moved. Is she wowed that Dr. Isaiah Gannon (Sawandi Wilson) stepped in and helped her reconcile with Trina?
Wednesday, March 4th: Britt’s Vulnerability and Lulu’s Private Moment
On Wednesday, March 4th, Britt’s vulnerable and Elizabeth Webber (Rebecca Herbst) sees. Britt might be really shaken. She may get an update from Lucas that they couldn’t get her meds. Britt’s under so much stress, she may crack wide open.
Lulu Spencer (Alexa Havins Bruening) and Nathan’s private moment is witnessed. Does someone see them kissing? Ava Jerome (Maura West) assumes the wrong thing, maybe about Sidwell or Lucas. Josslyn Jacks (Eden McCoy) grows suspicious. Of Carly? Josslyn may see her at Wyndemere.
Thursday, March 5th: Jason Supports Britt and Carly Gets Shocked
On Thursday, March 5th, Lulu makes a realization. She might realize she and Nathan were spotted. Jason is there for Britt. She’s got new hope with Lucas helping, but Jason’s going to dip out in a few weeks and won’t be around. But it’s not by choice. Reportedly someone takes him.
Jack Brennan’s (Chris McKenna) frustrations grow, maybe about Ross Cullum (Andrew Hawkes), Sidwell, or not finding Valentin Cassadine (James Patrick Stuart). Carly’s shocked. Is this at Wyndemere? It may concern her scheme with Valentin. Brook Lynn and Chase come up with a plan. This might be about their adoption dream.
GH Spoilers: Friday, March 6th: Brennan Demands a Favor and Maxie Makes Her Feelings Known
On Friday, March 6th, Josslyn needs to see Jason. This may be about Cullum, but could be about Carly. Brennan demands a favor. I bet from Nina Reeves (Cynthia Watros). He may want payback for deleting Willow footage. Maxie Jones (Kirsten Storms) makes her feelings known. Is this about Nathan and Lulu?
or about the Deception ladies cutting a deal with Sidwell while she was comatose that’s bad for the company? Nathan’s completely honest with Liesl Obrecht (Kathleen Gati). I’m sure about the Maxie issue, but maybe about Lulu feels too. Trina gets a new opportunity that she embraces. Is this something to do with her parents?

General Hospital Week Two: March 9th-13th Spoilers – Willow Loving her New Power
During the second week, Willow revels in her new power. She hates being under Sidwell’s thumb, but Willow has no choice, so she’ll make the most of what he gave her. Michael’s going to be stunned and worried what this development could mean for him and the kids.
Lulu worries about Maxie’s reaction to her and Nathan. Will one of them tell Maxie like they planned, or does someone beat them to the punch and blab? Obrecht pushes back on Nathan. Liesl’s very stubborn and wants the Nathan and Maxie reunion.
Britt’s desperate to find her meds. She’s losing hope and will be devastated and scared when Jason vanishes. Marco is conflicted. He wants to help Lucas but is afraid of his father, Cullum, and Pascal. Lucas is in danger. Sidwell and Pascal are already prepared to kill Lucas. One of them might strike soon, especially if they think he’s manipulating Marco to turn on them.
Jason Leaving GH soon
It’s almost time for Jason to disappear. He’ll be back this summer—should be onscreen in July—and our leaker said he’s kidnapped by someone other than Sidwell or Cullum. Drew’s in deep despair. Between Willow and Sidwell, he’s completely trapped. But if Kai’s around working for Willow, he might help Drew.
Sonny wants to get closer to Justine. She’s fighting her feelings hard, but if Sonny kisses her again, she might not slap him. Trina and Portia rebuild their relationship. Trina’s getting excited about the baby.
That’s your General Hospital two-week spoiler outlook for March 2nd through the 13th. Thanks for watching Soap Dirt, and don’t forget to subscribe for more daily spoilers and news!
