WEIRD NETFLIX PARTY #5 INTEREST CHECK

This might just be a quarantine thing, or it may turn into a regular feature of the site, but interest in the weekly weird Netflix screening has remained steady so far, so going to go for number five.

We’re asking for nominations for a movie to watch partly because we love making polls, but 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, The Bad Batch, or Skins [Pieles].

We’ll set aside April 25 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 (previously unscreened by us) 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), 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.

  1. As a black horse candidate, I’m going to nominate “The Humanity Bureau”. It has the words “Nicolas”, Cage”, and “Dystopian” in its description.

  2. As much as I would love to jump on the Nic Cage bandwagon, I couldn’t find another weird one with him on Netflix. So I’ll nominate Under the Skin.
