What’s Coming to Pluto TV In April: ‘Scream’ Franchise, ‘Earth Girls Are Easy,’ PBS Nature Docs
The April additions to Pluto TV’s programming library are split between nature programs and horror flicks.
The streamer will debut the PBS Nature channel later this month, taking viewers on a global voyage and highlighting eco-causes, such as Earth Day. Docs including “Building Green” and “Earth in 1000 Years.”
Also, since April is halfway to Halloween, Pluto is doing everything it can to scare the pants off viewers early. The new channel “April Ghouls” has an array of terror, including “Scream 1-3.” The franchise’s first film, “Scream” stars Neve Campbell, Courtney Cox, Drew Barrymore, and David Arquette.
The franchise includes six films; the first four were directed by Wes Craven. The saga begins with murderers known as Ghostface, who stalk and kill their victims.
Relive the original “Scream” trailer:
Edgar Allan Poe fans may like “The Raven,” set in 19th-century Baltimore. The murders of a mother and daughter resemble a fictional crime described in a Poe story. John Cusack and Brendan Gleeson star in the film.
On a lighter note, a blast from 1980s comedy past: “Earth Girls Are Easy.” When three aliens land in LA, they discover women. And the women discover handsome guys who have more to offer than the average Earthling. Jeff Goldblum, Jim Carrey, Damon Wayans, and Geena Davis star.
