We’re sticking to our plan of one Netflix and one Amazon Prime watch party per month. It’s Netflix’s turn.
We’re open to suggestions for different starting times, dates, or methods of propagating the watch link.
The party is scheduled for May 8 at 10:15 PM ET. We’ll take nominations for movies to screen in the comments until we reach at least five entries (from five different attendees), then put up a voting poll.
The Canonically Weird movies on Netflix that we haven’t yet screened yet are A Clockwork Orange (1971), Neon Genesis Evangelion: The End of Evangelion (1997), Pan’s Labyrinth (2006), and Scott Pilgrim vs. the World (2010). Feel free to nominate any of these, or ignore them in favor of other selections. Since we’ve rolled over into a new year, we could technically decide to watch something we’ve seen before (if it’s still on the platform). For reference, the movies we’ve already screened are The Platform, April and the Extraordinary World, The Bad Batch, Skins [Pieles], Under the Skin, The Killing of a Sacred Deer, Enemy, A Ghost Story, Escape from the ‘Liberty’ Cinema, Between Worlds, Buster’s Mal Heart, The Aerial [La Antena], The Endless, The Wicker Man (1973), Murder Party (2007), I Lost My Body (2019), I’m Thinking of Ending Things (2020), We Have Always Lived in the Castle (2018), Cadaver (2020), Being John Malkovich (1999), Errementari: The Blacksmith and the Devil (2017), My Entire High School Sinking into the Sea (2016), Freaks (2018), and Five Elements Ninjas (1982).
To participate, you’ll need a U.S. Netflix account, a Chrome-based browser, and the TeleParty (formerly “Netflix Party”) extension.
Make your nominations in the comments below.
Someday it will win… Scott Pilgrim vs. the World.
I’ll venture *The One I Love.*
On Body and Soul
I know Gregory has seen this because he wrote about it. It’s been lingering in my queue for a while now. A review called it “an extreme rom-com,” and I just can’t help myself—I love rom-coms!
“Await Further Instructions” awaits!
The Laundromat.
That’s five. Poll will go up this weekend. I’ll include any last minute suggestions.
I Care Alot and I Don’t Feel At Home In This World Anymore.
That’s sad, but do you have any movie suggestions? I’m kidding, of course.
