Slim Pickings this week in the What’s New On Netflix & Prime department,

with Netflix adding a brand new documentary about Elizabeth Smart, A New Animated Japanese Movie Cosmic Princess Kaguya! and a New Italian Movie The Big Fake.

And I searched and researched three times with a number of different sources, but could find nothing new for Prime this week….

UPDATE 1/24/2026: 

I have added to this post for the next week 1/25 – 1/31 because there is nothing new on Netflix until Feb. 1 and Prime is only adding two movies, so I have added them here.

The Brand new Movie from Amazon MGM Studios The Wrecking Crew with Dave Bautista and Jason Momoa looks like a good one!

And 2025’s Preparation For The Next Life.
