Today's @EchoChamberFP is a bit of a Netflix affair. We have a rom-com, family flick, and a creepy arse horror. So something for everyone and all on the streamer.

Kimmy Gatewood makes her directorial debut with 'Good on Paper' which is written & stars Iliza Shlesinger. After years of putting her career ahead of love, stand-up comic Andrea Singer (Shlesinger) has stumbled upon the perfect guy, Dennis Kelly (Ryan Hansen). On paper, he checks all the boxes but is he everything he appears to be? And should she listen to her best friend Margot (Margaret Cho) concerns or seize this opportunity for the thing she thinks she's been missing.

Based on Matthew Logelin's memoir, 'Fatherhood' is the new film from Paul Weitz which he co-wrote with Dana Stevens. Matt Logelin (Kevin Hart) brings up his baby girl Maddy (Melody Hurd) as a single dad after the unexpected death of his wife Liz (Deborah Ayorinde) who died a day after their daughter's birth.

'The Seventh Day' is written & directed by Justin P. Lange. It follows Father Peter (Guy Pearce), a prestigious exorcist, who teams up with Father Daniel (Vadhir Derbez). A young and inexperienced priest, on his first day of work. They try to stop the demonic possession of a young boy (Brady Jenness).
