But Is It on Netflix? - Streaming Video Service Thread: Hulu, Amazon Prime, Apple TV+, Disney+, Peacock, YouTube TV, AT+T Watch, Philo, Playstation Vue, HBO Max, HBO Now, Facebook Live and many more

xp, yeah i wouldn't want to be in the drug mule's seat. any civilian who gets near ray gets capsized by the wake.

OK, I loved the Magician movie and had no idea they’d spun a TV series out of it. Getting hold of Mr In-Between immediately.

HBO cancelled Lovecraft Country? WTF

Thanks for reminding me that Mr InBetween was based on a film, finally went back and watched it. It's recommended for fans of the show for sure though don't expect too much more than the first draft of what the expanded program is (there are direct script and scenario lifts) and a chuckle from baby Ray's babyface. Still great though!

I had a go at the BBC's "All That Glitters" which is a jewelry maker competition in the mold of (and maybe from the same producers as?) Great Pottery Throwdown. The work is good, the contestants are interesting but the host, Katherine Ryan, is probably the worst reality show host I've ever seen: no particular interest or connection with jewelry, horrible vocal fry, no sense of humor, terrible timing and delivery that makes QVC announcers sound like orson welles.

I like what they're doing but I honestly don't know if I can handle watching a second episode because of this very terrible host.

Just started watching Mr. InBetween and I'm into it.

I'm glad Lovecraft Country got spiked; that was one of the biggest disappointments of the year for me (loved the book, but they fumbled a lot of the stuff they adapted directly, and everything they came up with themselves — Korean fox-girl — suuuuucked).

I do remember the giant rocket launching from the ocean at the end, though.

Based on a real proposal that was never built:

I liked the new soderbergh fine, it’s a decent heist film with some good performances — cheadle is really good — and costumes/sets, though it does feel a little empty and rushed

Questlove’s doc “Summer Of Soul” is up on Hulu - about the 1969 Harlem Cultural Festival, unseen footage til now

it’s SO great, every performance is a knockout

I have just been getting into Questlove's podcast (Questlove Supreme) in the past couple weeks. Listening to him interview everybody from Jimmy Jam to Weird Al Yankovic has been really educational. And so, not knowing about the movie (which I guess he has promoted on social media, but not on the cast), I had heard enough of these that I was like "let's go to Netflix and Hulu and find some Black music documentaries." And when I opened up Hulu on my phone, just staring me in the face was Summer of Soul by Ahmir "Questlove" Thompson.

So amazing and moving. The one thing I keep thinking after that is, we get one or two blockbuster performances from each of the artists - can you imagine how much amazing material from this festival they didn't include?

I have to imagine there will more comprehensive releases of these concerts. It's kind of mindblowing that the footage and audio is so immaculate.

Sly is so awesome in this…
I teared up a bunch of times, such emotional stuff

I reviewed the movie for Stereogum. It really is great.

HBO cancelled Lovecraft Country? WTF

I haven't even watched this yet, does it resolve well enough? I read that this was a mutual decision on the part of the showrunners and hbo.

It’s hard to see where it would have gone next tbh

Here, apparently:

A taste of the Season 2 Bible. Wish we could have brought you #LovecraftCountry: Supremacy. Thank you to everyone who watched and engaged. 🖤✊🏾 #noconfederate pic.twitter.com/BONbSfbjWg

I am watching the hell out of For All Mankind, first show since maybe the first couple seasons of GLOW that have been so eminently bingeworthy.

My favorite stuff for the past year or so are all the little jazz music lessons online at Youtube. I can't pretend to get it all and can't play 7th chords on a guitar for crap, but I do think some things that were always voodoo make a bit more sense to me. Some of them like the funny one on Steely Dan's use of the 'mu' chord would I think even be entertaining for just a fan of the band. Barry Harris is one cool mf'er.

I just started watching Mythic Quest, not having realised that we somehow had a subscription to Apple+. First four episodes are fine, in a sub-Silicon Valley sense. Then the fifth episode is actually brilliant, tonally very different and, as far as I can tell, a total curveball.

The 1971 documentaries on Apple+ are brilliant. Well-known stories retold well, with great use of little-seen archive material.

I dunno if AMC+ counts as one of these platforms, and especially for Kevin Can F*** Himself, because it airs on regular AMC a week later anyway, but that show is so great.

If that ever shows up on Hulu (which gets some AMC shows) I'm gonna check it out for sure. The concept is great.

I have not seen those or at least remember watching any, but I have watched more than a few of Barry Harris sitting around a piano with a smoke in his mouth.

The one that helped me a bunch and I have been trying to find it for well over six months was this Italian guitarist that stated to quit moving your hand and look at the intervals you have within your fingers reach. For some reason that one really clicked with me and did help a bunch.

This was the Steely Dan Mu chord one I thought was entertaining enough non-musicians but fans of the band might enjoy.

Wait, which Italian guitarist?

The last few episodes of S2 are hands down the best TV I've watched this year, absolutely gripping. We should probably make a dedicated thread for the show

^no spoilers please, only on S2E3.

Our Style Is Wild And You Know You Can't Tame Us: GLOW on Netflix

^ Vinnie means there should be a dedicated For All Mankind thread.

Yep. Though I do want to watch GLOW sometime!

I come in peace... three times a night -- FOR ALL MANKIND (Apple TV Plus)

I was sort of hoping Schmigadoon! would be good because my family (though not I) loves musicals, but I have a hunch it is not good. The trailer was perhaps 100% laugh-free, and that's what they're hoping will get you to watch it.

(Btw, knowing the concept, I'm calling it now: The only way to leave the magical musical town of Schmigadoon is to find true love, which I predict will turn out to be ... a true love for the town, ending with the protagonists deciding to stay. That's how these stories, from Local Hero to Pleasantville, always seem to end.)

okay now I'm kind of glad there wasn't an S2 of Lovecraft Country

I enjoyed this Gossip Girl review (haven't watched the new show)

I just watched it, it is not great, but I am still going to watch the whole thing anyway.

(the main issue is absolutely that all the characters are so far charmless, particularly the female ones; no one has the charisma Leighton Meester did, who was adorable even when being a fucking nightmare)

Schmigadoon looks both deeply unfunny and incredibly cheap.

Brigadoon-related? HISSSSSS.

The Other Two finally back on Aug. 26 on HBO Max

I happened to look that up recently - glad it’s finally back! Loved the first season (especially the sister character).

Definitely going to watch this this weekend:

Finally, macca speaks about his life in music

I hope they go into his pre-Wings stuff.

We Are Lady Parts is lit

We loved it.

The Mysterious Benedict Society is a very good kids show

My god the Apple TV+ interfaces suck.

Paramount+ seemingly runs on rubberbands and a hamster wheel, the interface is sooooo slow

Disney+ finally wised up and made their “Search” UI a grid of letters rather than a single line you had to scroll thru back & forth.

Goddamn, Mr In-Between ended on a note! Presumably the series is done, I don't know what they do from here.

Anyone else sometime struggle with darker/night scenes?

Had to completely black out the room to watch final Fear Street movie last night and Disney+ also seems pretty bad. Think it's more to do with the streaming than tv settings eg first series of Mandalorian I didn't have Disney+ so torrented and on those files certain dark scenes are much clearer to see than they are if I watch them through Disney+.
