Despite some technical glitches, we made it to a third Netflix watch party. This might just be a quarantine thing, or it may turn into a regular feature of the site, but we’re going to go for number four.
We’re asking for nominations for a movie to watch partly because we love making polls, but also (mainly) as a means to gauge interest. If we get five suggestions from people planning to attend, then we’ll know it’s worth hosting.
You can nominate something you nominated before, but not something we watched in a previous party: so no The Platform, April and the Extraordinary World, or The Bad Batch.
We’ll set aside April 18 at 10:30 PM EST for this one. If you have feedback suggesting a different start time we’ll listen.
Just like previous weeks, we’ll open it up to reader suggestions until we get five or more candidates, then put up a poll to vote on which movie to screen. Only films in Netflix’s catalog are eligible. We don’t have to watch a Canonically Weird movie together, but just for your convenience, we’re reasonably sure these are all the ones available on the service at the moment: Enemy (2013), The Lobster (2015), Neon Genesis Evangelion: The End of Evangelion (1997), Pan’s Labyrinth (2006), Scott Pilgrim vs. the World (2010), A Serious Man (2009), Sin City (2005), Skins [Pieles] (2017), Swiss Army Man (2016), Under the Skin (2013), and The Wicker Man (1973). Feel free to nominate any of these, or ignore them in favor of other selections.
To join, you’ll need a U.S. Netflix account, a Chrome-based browser (Brave works) and the Netflix Party extension.
Make your nominations in the comments below.
How do we join? I’m in Canada- I tried last week and it didn’t work- though I have friends that are doing it on their own with friends in US.
I believe it’s not compatible with Netflix Canada. Sorry. 🙁
Sorry I missed #3 I couldn’t find a link. See u on sat!
Voting for Swiss Army Man!
I nominate Skins.
As host my vote doesn’t count, but I like the idea of SKINS as well. Still looking for three more choices, though.
I’m in! Personally voting for “Scott Pilgrim vs. The World”, but “Skins” looks interesting too.
I’ll nominate my “Sin City” go-to.
I’ll nominate Neon Genesis Evangelion: The End of Evangelion
OK, that’s five nominees. I’ll put up a poll tomorrow and if anyone else makes a suggestion between now and then I’ll add it, too.
