Crackle May 2022 Programming: 2 Thrilling AVOD Exclusives to Watch

Crackle logo

As they do every month, Crackle added new content and channels for May 2022. New channels include Classic TV Moms and Historic War Stories, both in honor of big events happening this month, ie. Mother’s Day and Memorial Day.

But there were two Crackle advertising-supported video-on-demand (AVOD) exclusives and originals that caught my eye in particular, Blast and In the Vault. The latter especially piqued my interest because its poster gave me Scream vibes. However, maybe it’s more akin to I Know What You Did Last Summer?

I don’t know. We don’t have a lot of information about it yet, but let’s take a closer peek at both exclusives as well as some of the other highlights from the Crackle May 2022 programming.

Crackle May 2022 AVOD Exclusives

Blast

Crackle AVOD Exclusive Feature Film – Premieres May 5

In a Parisian parking lot, a bomb disposal expert (Nora Arnezeder) finds herself trapped in her car with her kids as an anti-tank mine has been set under the car. Sonia is used to facing dangerous situations, but with the children’s lives on the line and her boyfriend (Pierre Kiwitt) left outside, powerless, the stakes have never been higher. They have 30 minutes to diffuse the bomb and work out who could be the mastermind behind this. Will they stand united until the end or will the family implode under pressure?

Senior Moment

Crackle AVOD Exclusive Feature Film – Premieres May 5

Victor Martin (William Shatner) is a retired NASA test pilot often seen speeding around Palm Springs in his vintage Porsche convertible with his best friend Sal (Christopher Lloyd) in tow. His life changes when his license is revoked for drag racing and his car impounded. Forced to take public transportation for the first time, he meets his polar opposite Caroline (Jean Smart) and learns to navigate love and life again as he goes up against the state’s new DA to get back his license and car.

This one looked cute to me because who doesn’t love Shatner (Captain Kirk!) or Jean Smart (who’s so versatile and talented she can play anyone from oh-so-sweet Charlene on Designing Women to tough-as-nails Agent Laurie Blake in Watchmen.)

In the Vault

Crackle AVOD Exclusive Series – Premieres May 19

Freshman Liv Steele (Claudia Lee) arrives at Woodlawn College excited for a fresh start, but…will her past catch up with her?

See? That’s not much to go on but look at the imagery in the poster. It definitely gives off creepy vibes of some sort, right?

Sherlock

I covered this in Crackle’s April 2022 programming highlights, but it’s worth noting again that you can watch the highly successful, new adaptation of Sherlock Holmes –starring Benedict Cumberbatch as Holmes and Martin Freeman as Watson– exclusively on Crackle.

Sherlock Holmes, an analytical deduction fanatic, is helping on police investigations for fun when he runs into potential flatmate Dr. John Watson, fresh from serving in the war in Afghanistan and sporting a limp. In spite of Watson’s initial skepticism, Holmes’ brilliant mind and dangerous lifestyle offer the stimulation he craves, and the two quickly forge an alliance. Sherlock provides the inspired leaps of intellect, while Watson keeps his friend’s flights of fancy grounded – creating the perfect pairing for a legendary partnership. (All four seasons plus the special episode.)

  1. Senior Moment looks so fun! I’m not familiar with Taboo. I’ll have to poke around and see what it’s all about.

  2. Author

    Yes! Fun is a great way to describe how Senior Moment looks. And Taboo is one I want to revisit. I watched part of the first episode when it premiered but then forgot about it and never watched more. (I don’t remember what was going on back then, but something that took up time. It was a period when I wasn’t watching much TV I think. lol)
