People love to complain about Bradley Cooper as both director and actor: He's too ambitious, too thirsty for an Oscar. His movies strive for what's often viewed as a rather boring sort of classiness. He wore a prosthetic nose to play Leonard Bernstein. The litany goes on, but you could argue that Cooper fills a niche few other filmmakers these days even consider. He wants to make adult movies that concern the things people care about, subjects that used to draw grown-up audiences to movie theaters. It might be a reimagining of a classic story, like A Star Is Born, or a nuanced biopic of a gifted, divisive figure like Maestro's Bernstein. Or it could just be a story about…...

Netflix is quietly building its own highly unserious NCU: the Netflix Christmas Universe, where films share settings, characters, and even reference each other onscreen. In this episode of Streamline, we dive into the best (worst) of Netflix's festive output, from chiseled snowmen come to life, to ambitious girlboss executives falling in love in Paris. They're cheesy, repetitive, and oddly irresistible. We watched them so you don't have to. Watch more episodes of Streamline on Independent Culture on YouTube.
