Hola gents (and lady guest?),
I’d like to thank you guys for a number of show alerts, mostly courtesy of Bryce. Not everything in his wheelhouse is my flavor, but he seems to find serials early that we haven’t seen and enjoy.
If you guys haven’t talked about Letterkenny yet, you should go watch it. The first two short seasons are available on Hulu. It’s Canadian dry humor full of puns and stereotype characters. It doesn’t waste time with backstory we don’t care about and just rapid-fires the funny.
Give it a shot and see what you think.
Keep cutting them cords, fellas,
– Dan and Emily
Hello to all – one thing I’ve been thinking a lot is a way to watch shows without having to have a month to month membership with the different services considering that most services allow you to watch their whole catalog. For example I would pay Netflix in Jan and catch up on all the shows during that month, then cancel it. Feb I pay for Hulu and watch the first two seasons of Handsmaid, catcha few othe shows them cancel it. HBO on March, cbs all access in april, etc.
Or what about an AI like you guys tak about that just gives you the algorithm (ala traveling salesman) that computes the best course to take to hit the most shows you want to watch while paying the least per month.
Love to hear your thoughts.
– Arturo
Hey Tom, Brian, and guest,
It seems like everyone compares Netflix and HBO to each other, but I don’t think that’s the right approach anymore. It seems that Netflix no longer wants to be HBO; they want to be your entire cable package. They now have original programming that target so many niches they cover most of the major basic cable channels. Because of this, I don’t think Netflix cares about people criticizing their garbage programming – it’s essentially just a channel you’d never tune in to!
Keep killing those cords,
– Andy
About the listener who wrote in last week about wanting to have in-progress, “themed streams” – I think he is on to something. For horror fans, the streaming service Shudder broadcasts a constant stream of its content on rotation dubbed “Shudder TV“. In fact, you don’t even have to be a subscriber to access it. If you do subscribe however, you can switch between several sub-genre “channels” of Shudder’s content. Because it comes up as soon as you start the app, I’ve found myself getting interested in movies that I haven’t seen which I may not have otherwise chosen. I can always pull up the on-demand version in the app to get the beginning later. Its an easy way to discover new content without searching through titles, summaries and trailers.
Love the show – keep up the great work.
– Tim
What I think Netflix (and perhaps other streaming services) needs is an “I feel lucky” button that will just “pick something” that its algorithm “knows” you’ll like based on your watching history, etc. Don’t like what it picks? Hit next and it could pick something else for you.
Or at least that what *I* would want! I’m not keen on dropping in, in the middle of a movie, TV show, etc. That’s one reason I watch everything via streaming, DVR’d, etc.
Later!
– Michael
I subscribe to some movie trailer channels on YouTube. I frequently see movies I would LIKE to watch later, but I am not aware of a service that’ll let me “tag” movies that haven’t even hit theaters yet that I’d like to see whenever they’re available (especially on streaming). Do you know of such a service?
Thanks!
– Michael
