Trainwreck: Poop Cruise (Netflix, June 24)
Planning a cruise vacay soon? Then you have to watch this.

Squid Game, Season 3 (Netflix, June 27)
Series finale! Time to find out if those wild fan theories are true. Are Player 456 (Lee Jung-jae) and The Front Man (Lee Byung-hun) brothers? Are some of the players actually VIPs in disguise? (Player 125, I’m looking at you.) Will Leonardo DiCaprio appear on the show? (Netflix says no — but didn’t Andrew Garfield also deny being in Spider-Man: No Way Home?) Place your bets.
