Netflix "Watch Instantly"

Netflix "Watch Instantly"

I just recently rejoined Netflix and was pleased to see they have added a "Watch Instantly" feature where you can stream a movie over the internet. The selection of movies/shows is subpar, but it's free baby! Well, free as in no extra charge. You can watch 1 hour for every dollar/month your subscription is and it doesn't affect your queued/shipped movies at all. Minuses are that you have to be running Windows and Internet Explorer, but the quality is great! I have a garbage laptop, but it looks the same as a DVD to me and it hasn't skipped/paused/hiccuped once so far.

Joe Rogan: Burn the Boats

Awful


Totally not shocked...does it contain one or more searing hot takes on:
- Cancel culture
- Evils of 'wokeness'
- Trans in sport
🙄

On a scale of Gringo Papi to Sledgehammer, just how bad?


I'm not familiar with this scale but I give it a 2out of 10.

I don't think he got into trans in sports but the others yes. It just seemed lazy.

For the record, I'm not a Joe Rogan fan or hater. I watched it having no pre-conceived opinion of him.

Cool thanks. I remember really enjoying the first season, but as usual I have absolutely no recollection of what actually happened in it

I re-watched last episode of Kleo season one as I also couldn't remember it. I'm struggling to make traction with season two.

The outfits they wear are amazing though.

As insanely infuriated as I am with Naughty Dog, I will never not adore The Last Of Us. And that trailer gave some chills! So much of that was exactly like the game! I don’t want to spoil by getting specific, but they nailed every bit from what I could see.

I was wondering if they were going to tweak the story a bit for the 2nd season but after that trailer i'm guessing they are sticking with the games storyline, i'm not ready

Being as big of a TLOU nerd as I am, I've actually had quite a few in depth conversations on how season 2/3 could and/or should go. All the factors have been taken into account, if you know what I mean, hahaha. Some were using the game as the sole source of story beats, just rearranged. Others involved some major tweaks, but all with the main arc still in tact. I have complete trust in Mazin and enough in Druckmann to be cool with whatever route they choose. But I'm positive that they'll be faithful to right parts of Part 2.

I also am not ready...

Gringo Papi is the 2nd worst standup special I've ever seen. It would be the first accept that it was supposed to be ****. No one thought it would be anything but ****. The actual worst special I've ever seen is Chris D'Elia's No Pain. There was no excuse for it to be that bad. As for Sledgehammer, Tom Segura's latest, it's a very sub-par special from a very good comedian who has fallen off so much since his first couple of specials that I won't bother with anything he does in the future. It wasn't complete crap, but it was close.

So... A scale of 1-10 on a scale of 1-5, hahaha




Gringo papi. Great guy, never meddum!


Hard Knocks Training Camp with The Chicago Bears is live now.

I was just looking earlier for the NYG one but forgot it ended last week and didn't even realize this one started today!

The Hard knocks offseason coverage of the NYG was awesome. I'm enjoying it better than the standard preseason stuff. I can't believe the NYG general manager opened his job like that. So much interesting info. I've a couple more episodes left.

Giants hard knocks fell apart the last two two episodes. Sucks because I loved the first three. I’m shocked they did the show and I’ll be surprised if anyone does it again. I’d love to see an MLB version that focuses on the player development and analytics teams.

The NYG coaching staff cracking jokes at the combine was also good. And I agree, an MLB version would be awesome.


The first 2 episodes of Bad Monkey on Apple with Vince Vaughn are good. Comedy, Crime, Drama.


Another Bill Lawrence show, will definitely check it out. Shame it's weekly.

all I heard was bad monkey and set in FL and I knew immediately it had to be a carl hiaasen adaptation and got very excited.

I've been so baffled how we didn't get an adaptation of one of his books long ago (he's kindv like elmore leonard on acid) and was really hoping they'd do a good job on this and while it's only 2eps so far I'm extremely optimistic.

vince vaughn channeling peak vince vaughn energy and love his co-star who is one of those actors you never remember his name but he's always absolutely fantastic in everything he's in.

pretty damn disrespectful by me to be honest he's def good enough I should remember his name and I think going forward I will.

john ortiz.

he was so great in luck and the drop.

The problem isn't his topics it's that he's not remotely funny. Actual funny people can make anything funny but he's a hack.

Didn't watch that special, and won't but I did watch this:

Broken YouTube Link

And it was very well worth it.

Snack shack is a really fun watch. $5.99 rental on prime.

+1 very fun.

was a little disappointed they started out so strong and had to go down the super predictable cliche route in the final act but still overall very entertaining.


It will be on Prime September 1st. It's on MGM+ now.


I was going to give Homicide: Life on the streets a try on Peacock today because I had not seen it and wasn't thrilled to try a 30-year-old show even though the good reviews.

But the main thing was it was supposed to be re-mastered in HD or even higher quality. I am not seeing it, barely HD if even that. I suppose it's better than 30-year-old video quality but not much better.

Is anyone else seeing better video quality?


The 2nd episode last night of the new season of Industry was great, best of the series.

I can't answer that, but as a big fan of the show I wanted to add that it had what seemed to be cutting edge sound tracks at the time but I'm guessing that they seem ho-hum now as well.

I think I have Peacock, so I might check it out and try to run through it once more. I'll try to remember to post back if I do.


MGM+??? What the hell, man.

I’ve been totally cool being an honest consumer for years now. But every day, I find myself inching back towards piracy.

Shenanigans.
