10 Great Movies You Probably Missed (That You Can Now Catch On Netflix)

Most movies about fraternities depict the partying, boozing side of college life, but Goat approaches the subject from a much more sinister angle, detailing the cruel, humiliating trials young men are often put through if they wish to join a popular frat group.

Despite an impressive young cast and plenty of buzz, Goat landed with a whimper, making hardly any money and not even being given a wide theatrical release - or any theatrical release for that matter, since it only played in 20 theatres for one short weekend in the US.

But it should be commended for choosing to expose what can be a dark, devastating time in the lives of college students. Sure, there are parties and lots of fun, but there's also stress, peer pressure and bullying. Goat is fictional, and as such, its situations are heightened somewhat, but it feels scarily real, and it's a tense, brutal experience that refuses to pull a single punch.

Danny has been with WhatCulture for over ten years, and is currently Doctor Who Editor and WhoCulture Channel Manager, overseeing all of WhatCulture's Whoniverse coverage. In 2022, he took charge of WhoCulture and has grown it into the biggest Doctor Who channel on YouTube, and one of the biggest Doctor Who communities on the web full-stop. He has been writing and video editing since his early teens, and first got a taste for content creation after making his own Doctor Who trailers, off the back of a burning obsession with the Matt Smith era of the show. Like many his age, he first got into Doctor Who with the 2005 revival, but has since gone back and fallen in love with the classic years too. If you need someone to recite every Doctor Who episode in order, or to give you a random factoid about the making of Gridlock, Danny is the person to ask!
