    Sometimes some digital noise, but overall a great selection and the high turnover forces me to actually check things off my watchlist instead of leaving it there for 23 months.

    I love weird movies. There’s such a difference when you’re watching a truly well made movie. So many to choose from, from truly weird to truly great!

    Some of the best gems out there honestly! You’ll discover a lot of lesser talked about films that deserve to watched and discussed. You won’t be sorry for subscribing or gifting to a cinephile in your life!
  • The only streaming service worth paying for

  • The Best Channel

    It’s not all challenging dramas that— yes— can be moving or sublime or full of their own surprising dopamine hits… but may also require that you be in a certain mood to watch them. There are tons of rotating collections of more “accessible” fare. Want to explore the human condition with Tarkvosky or Bergman or Fassbender? They got those. Wanna unwind by laughing with (at?) Point Break? Well, that they have too. Amazing programming and the extras are fantastic too.
  • The best of all the streaming movie channels
