What’s Streaming
TAYLOR TOMLINSON: QUARTER-LIFE CRISIS (2020) Stream on Netflix. Taylor Tomlinson, a 20-something comedian who cut her teeth in standup by performing in churches as a teenager, made her Netflix debut in a 15-minute special in “The Comedy Lineup.” Here, she gets the hourlong treatment to make the case that your 20s are not all that great, but rather a time to make mistakes and work on yourself before hitting 30. Or, as she gently puts it: “Your 20s are an opportunity to fish trash out of the lake before it freezes over.”
THE TOXIC AVENGER (1984) Stream on Mubi; rent on Amazon, Google Play, iTunes, Vudu or YouTube. Over the next two months, Mubi is celebrating Troma, the prolific independent studio founded by Lloyd Kaufman and Michael Herz that specializes in outrageous B-movies. The first of six titles coming to the streaming platform is “The Toxic Avenger,” a cult classic about a janitor who falls into a vat of toxic waste and becomes a mutant that rids a fictional New Jersey town of corruption and evil.
AILEEN: LIFE AND DEATH OF A SERIAL KILLER (2004) Stream on Sundance Now and Tubi; rent on Amazon and iTunes. In the early 1990s, the documentarian Nick Broomfield made “Aileen Wuornos: The Selling of a Serial Killer,” a haunting look at Wuornos, a prostitute who, in 1991, admitted to killing seven men in Florida. The film surfaces allegations that Wuornos’s lawyer and adoptive mother exploited her case for movie deals. About a decade later, Broomfield followed up with “Life and Death of Serial Killer,” with the director Joan Churchill. The documentary revisits Wuornos’s troubled childhood and charts the courtroom saga that ultimately led to her execution in 2002. It does so through a sympathetic lens, raising questions about her mental health before her death. Wuornos’s life did in fact inspire a feature film, “Monster” (2003), which gave its star, Charlize Theron, her only Oscar. It’s available to stream on Tubi and Vudu.
