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.
Our next Netflix Party will be scheduled for Saturday, Mar. 6 at 10:15 PM. 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), Kung Fu Hustle (2004), Neon Genesis Evangelion: The End of Evangelion (1997), Pan’s Labyrinth (2006), Scott Pilgrim vs. the World (2010), and Swiss Army Man (2016). 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), and My Entire High School Sinking into the Sea (2016).
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.
I’ll nominate “Scott Pilgrim vs. the World ” again.
I’ll nominate “Swiss Army Man.”
Velvet Buzzsaw or Pan’s Labyrinth
I am feeling lazy so I will nominate “Kung Fu Hustle” again. I reckon that’d be a swell movie with a gang.
Freaks (2018)
I probably won’t vote for it though.
That was a fine a little movie, made by a couple of affable fellows. I’d vote for it.
That’s 5, but I’ll leave the nominations open for another day in case anyone has anything else to add.
The Other Side of the Wind
There’ll be no Swiss Army Man in the poll, we didn’t get it in before it was removed from Netflix. 🙁
