Wasn't sure if I should share this in the horror thread because it's more sci-fi/dark comedy thriller, but I had a blast with It's What's Inside that just dropped on Netflix. A group of millennials gather at a mansion for a pre-wedding party. One of the guests arrives with a suitcase that enables body-swapping and a parlor game turns into mind-bending chaos. Rapid-paced, stylized, & bonkers. I'm still not sure about the ending or even if I fully understood what happened, but it's a super fun ride. Very twisty. Kinda like a high-tech Bodies Bodies Bodies.

Worth a shot: I'm losing my Kanopy – my sister has let me use her library card for a number of years but wants to start using it for her own account (I'm outside the States and don't have access otherwise). Would anyone be willing to let me use a library card number from a participating institution? Maybe someone has more than one library card in the family and doesn't need multiple accounts? Anyways, feel free to hit me up if so... Thanks!

I went through the cult classics section on Tubi the other day. Lots of films I was pleasantly surprised to see on there. You gotta be logged for them to show you the full list.

On Shudder

It's also on Netflix now.

We watched S1 over the long weekend. Loved it. A string of episodes were made of pure dread and this was the first thing in which I've really seen Jared Harris. He was outstanding.

It was a little heavy, so we'll be giving it a minute before diving into S2.

Miasmah is posthumously releasing the late Marcus Fjellström's excellent soundtrack to the first season if anyone here is interested:

On Tree's recommendation I also blasted through it this last weekend. Absolutely GREAT. Sometimes confusing (all these white fuckers look exactly the same, I swear). Jared Harris is a great actor.

Will start the second season later this week.

I saw this ages ago, when it was on HBO, but Escape at Danemora is on Netflix now, and is a terrific prison break story. Deftly directed by Ben Stiller?!

Woman of the Hour on Netflix is pretty good. Props to Anna K. for keeping it under 100 minutes.

Two scenes REALLY stuck with me in a major way. Would love to see her continue to direct. Made some actually interesting choices I thought.
Didn't really love it overall, but if two scenes worm their way in, great batting average.

Been a while since I watched a rom-com. Nobody Wants This on Netflix is decent.
