Netflix’s raunchy Big Mouth special, and four more shows to stream this Valentine’s Day
- The streaming service is loading up with love-related programming to celebrate the occasion
- There is everything from Big Mouth to Dating Around to Friends and Gossip Girls Valentine specials
Whether you’re coupled up or broken up, there are far worse things to do this Valentine’s Day than Netflix and chill. To commemorate the holiday, the streaming service is introducing a slew of love-themed offerings for the hopeless (and cynical) romantic in all of us. Five film, shows and specials you can watch:
Big Mouth: My Furry Valentine
Now streaming.
Nick Kroll and Andrew Goldberg’s raunchy animated series has a bonus episode that’s just as sweet and smutty as you’d expect from a show that has talking pubic hair and R.E.M.-inspired menstruation anthems. Paying homage to When Harry Met Sally, the special focuses on the core cast of awkward middle-schoolers (voiced by Kroll, John Mulaney and Jenny Slate, among others) as they navigate relationships on Valentine’s Day. Jay (Jason Mantzoukas) is stuck in a love triangle with his sex pillow (Kristen Bell) and couch cushion (Gil Ozeri), while the school’s only openly gay kid, Matthew (Andrew Rannells), finally finds a potential romantic interest.
Ken Jeong: You Complete Me, Ho
Streaming Thursday.
Reuniting with Crazy Rich Asians director Jon M. Chu, Jeong’s first Netflix stand-up special was taped in Pasadena, California, last autumn. The hour-long set traces The Masked Singer judge’s journey from medical doctor to breakout star of The Hangover franchise, and his wife, Tran Ho’s, battle with breast cancer.
