Has anyone every heard of a streaming website called Kanopy? I just signed up for it recently. The way it works is that you sign up using a public library card & you can watch 10 movies for free every month. They have a ton of movies but they may not be for everyone's taste. There's a lot of obscure Art House type films, a lot of documentaries, & a lot of foreign films. But there are some hidden gems. For instance, they have Sympathy For Mr. Vengeance and Lady Vengeance, two films that were part of a trilogy with Oldboy that I've waited 15 years to watch. Or another old movie called Putney Swope that I've been seeking for almost 20 years. They also have the movie What We Do In The Shadows and even the (in)famous Death Bed: The Bed That Eats.

I have. I used it a lot as part of my Halloween Movie Watching last October since Italian Horror movies was one of my themes.
Yeah, they have a lot of indie, foreign films, and plenty of documentaries and PBS stuff.
Here are some of my current to-watch list entries:
Wild Nights With Emily
Marebito
Sweet Bean
Ugetsu
Vintage Tomorrows - A Closer Look at the Origins of Steampunk
Among other things.
There's also Hoopla which you can access free with your LA County Library account.

That's largely music, books, and comic books centric, but you can also stream commercial free movies there for free. Some TV shows there too. Including British stuff.

Anyone watch Sasquatch on Hulu?
I enjoyed it, I think the director did a great job with the Bigfoot hunter portion especially.
The dark side to Mendocino/Humboldt, it's an unsolved crime doc with a side of Bigfoot.

Ok this makes no sense whatsoever. If you had a time machine and 30 years to prepare for the invasion with new technology from the future wouldn?t that be a better use of resources than plucking manpower from the past.
Just judging by the preview.

Reservation Dogs -FX- Hulu
Rural Oklahoma, reservation, present day.
[preface: Most of this will be what I expected- Capote's first novel/or Harper Lees' take on a small town- and what the reality of the show actually was-awesome-, so bear with me.]
First, the nod to Tarintino?s 90?s movie title, I wanted to hate (or at least roll my eyes) but they made one joke, nailed it and moved on. Second, not being from a small town or having lived on a reservation, it was a little like watching science fiction in the best kind of way. Inner monologue examples: You guys use air to breathe? What? Neat. Or, are you using present day slang, not something completely your own? What? Neat. Or Meth is slowly rotting-out your town due to socioeconomic issues and people need to find ways to navigate around it to survive it? Understood. Lastly, people of color getting their own show where there is no token Causation lead, yes please! Give it a whirl, if only to mess with your algorithm.
The story follows four teens and their hustle to survive from a Native American standpoint. Four episodes deep and it is still engaging without resorting to (ugly) cliches and is not a ?teen? show. The town sheriff is a familiar face (Season 2 of Fargo) Zach McClarnon and is both moral center and the heart(he carries the load well) but every (unknown to me)actor carries their weight. The stories are fluid and captivating in a relatable way: dead-beat dads, small town rules for crime, bar-room legends and the perfect amount of severity for a situation (kids will be kids). Comedy standout: Bobby Lee, steals every scene and makes me want more. Obligatory visions (with laughs in mind), tribal folklore meeting reality and small-town color makes this show unique and fun.
If I were to mash a couple shows together for familiarly sake: Early Trailer Park Boys, meets LetterKenny with a dash of Atlanta if those shows subtly leaned into a drama but stayed funny.

Heh. Nobody watches the dumb stuff i type about(which of course I secretly love), lols. Okay, Dolphin, hope you like it. =)
Dude, maybe it's the countless options but the media board hasn't fallen in love with a show (that compels us to type about the day after) in a long time. Did 2020 break us?
