It’s officially spring and I think we can all agree that we’re more than ready for the snow to melt so we can break out our jorts. Amidst the brutal winter weather and the political and social turmoil of the past few months, thankfully, we have more than a few distractions coming our way with a new month that brings film and album releases, fun events and Netflix-binge material. Here’s everything you have to look forward to in April 2017.
