I highly recommend the first 20 minutes of Extraordinary: The Stan Romanek Story if you want to see literally the most laughably fake "evidence" of aliens you've ever seen. I literally googled after 20 minutes because I thought it was actually a parody and not a real documentary.

We turned it off once the personal interviews started, because my googling had revealed the shocking twist ending: He was convicted of posession of a ridiculous amount of child pornography, which he claims was planted by aliens/the government. He also has admitted he faked "some" of his videos and photos.

Making A Murderer: Season Two is awesome solely because Kathleen Zellner is a loving badass. She walks the viewer through every aspect of what she's doing to try to overturn the conviction. This isn't just some case where the attorney is listing off things they think or reading results to poo poo. They actively show you the experts doing the tests and hide absolutely nothing. If nothing else, it's fascinating just to watch the process Zellner goes through.

In all honesty though, it's just as engaging as the first season and if you thought the criminal justice system couldn't get any more incompetent, you were wrong.

I couldn't get into it at all. I gave it two episodes. I like "slow burn" horror, but 90 minutes into the show and basically nothing had happened yet. Couldn't bring myself to keep watching especially knowing that according to this thread the final payoff sucked.

Least Warner thought FilmStruck was worth giving a heads-up, they also shuttered DramaFever last week with literally no warning and cut people mid-stream. Their Korean workers learned of the shutdown as they were waking up the next day.

I don't, personally. Their interface is terrible.

The best part of FilmStruck, besides the catalog, was all the extra content and original essays/interviews/expose. The only streaming service with a format that could support all that cool stuff is Netflix, but even that's kind of a mess, and not something they take advantage of.

Hulu's interface is the absolute worst and that's saying something.

One thing about Filmstruck is that on top of the content itself being good, there was a sense that it wasn't just a trough of slop to gorge on, that this stuff is *valued*.

You guys need to specify what device you’re using. Netflix & Shudder seem comparable on an Apple TV, Hulu is maybe a bit worse, HBO Now is terrible.

Hulu initially made me angry with their redesign. Now I am used to it and... it still sucks but I know where I’m going most of the time. I just want someone I already subscribe to to get Criterion so that I don’t have to get another drat service, and I don’t want it to be Netflix because I’m constantly teetering on dropping it and that would make me 100% stay. I use Hulu a lot for tv shows and premium stuff like hbo, then I use prime and the song store for rentals. If I could get Criterion on one of those I’d be pretty happy.

Though if shudder could get a drat ps4 app I’d be happier. I would gladly sacrifice the entire criterion collection on an altar to get shudder on the big tv in my front room without buying more hardware.

Amazon is bad but you can find some pretty obscure poo poo if you dig into “Customers Also Watched” and gently caress with their algorithm enough. Hulu just throws everything into bins and doesn’t care if you’re looking for movies or TV shows or anime.

Am I the only person who has sound issues with Amazon prime? I use a ps4 with 5.1 sound speakers and a 5.1 receiver. I plug my ps4 in with the hdmi cable and I have two problems:
(netflix/hulu/games are absolutely fine)
1: amazon prime voices are often too soft and the other sound is too loud. I use subs when available and my hearing is fine.
2: I have to turn the receiver up to 45 volume, while netflix/hulu are fine at about 30.

I've hosed with the ps4 sound settings: raw(pcm I think?)/dts/dolby or whatever. they're all supported by the receiver and none of them work properly for amazon.

A friend told me to use the pc for amazon prime. I should try that, it's also plugged into the receiver.

I watched Illang: The Wolf Brigade, and it's very middle of the tree. Some of the action scenes are really good, but the pacing is kinda poo poo, and some scenes are just clunky and bad. Not the best Wolf Brigade.

Yep, real good and fun. A lot of the same beats as Night, but more personal in some ways.

I've been having this issue with my PS4 a lot lately. And it's not just Prime specific. Netflix is fine, and I can play it at 10 volume. Playstation Vue and Amazon Prime lately I have to turn the volume all the way up to 50 to hear it.

i watched all of them and i disagree that it is the worst. it is terrible though. my favorite thing is the camera work during the “interview” portions of the show. in the 5th episode, this woman got abducted by aliens and she confessed to friends and family that they shoved a probe up her vagina. immediately after she says this there is this slow zoom on a relative’s face and her expression is a mix of disgust/boredom/maybe anger. i cant tell, but drat the whole sequence was so loving funny.
