Also using the crucial Kanopy app. You just need a library card. Not necessarily that I pay for all the above, either. Haven't found a need to get Paramount Plus, Apple Plus, or any of the other shit. Disney Plus is the last holdout for me, content wise it's tough to resist.
Obligatory Spotify slave, as well. I offset my artist soul crushing emissions by also using bandcamp.
Oh shit, also the local paper (digital and Sunday, only), plus you can never miss at least the intro PBS News Hour, right?

I canceled my Xfinity TV (still have their WiFi ) and went with YouTube tv. $65 a month I get pretty much everything I need. Unlimited DVR is convenient and you can split a membership with someone if you don't need all your screens at once.

We stuck with season five and I think it was actually a great season towards the end. The beginning was definitely boring aneurysms but it gets a lot better for sure. Season six was good as well. On season 7 and it's ok so far. They could have ended it in season six and might have been better though

Prime and hulu are the two I pay for ... have found that hulu is great for watching a number of old tv shows (Seinfeld, MASH, 24, Taxi, Wonder Years, Freaks & Geeks, etc.), but what originally roped me in was a free trial so I could see the series Das Boot which is a newer series and very good IMO. Apparently season 2 of Das Boot has been out for almost a year, but hulu hasn't picked it up for some reason?? ... although it's apparently available in Europe.
Might try Audible ... starting to "run out" of history books of interest on tape on my library app.

FoM if you haven't already
FoM if you haven't already seen it, I'd recommend 'The Terror,' season one only (it's an anthology series and the first installment is based on the Dan Simmons novel from which it takes its name), on Hulu. Historical fiction but it takes the historical source material out for.. well, quite a long walk, on the Arctic ice no less. It's vaguely in the realm of horror films like Carpenter's The Thing or Lovecraft but maintains a really interesting tether to "real" folklore. Eerie and bewitching.
I'd check out Das Boot.

I like Hulu, it has more
I like Hulu, it has more current shows available, seemingly more BBC comedy, and most importantly every season of Futurama. I love the FX show What We Do In The Shadows and it's actually easier to re-watch episodes on hulu than it is on FX so that seals it. Every now and then I'll cancel and take up Netflix, but the selection there is really pretty skimpy and outdated, imo. I used to do prime but the only thing that sucks more than supporting Bezos is the absolutely shit streaming of prime. Useless!
Ateix -I have Kanopy but never get around to using it. I'd love some suggestions. The movie (not the FX TV series mentioned above) What We Do In The Shadows is on there and I highly recommend it if you're an old school horror fan and like silly comedy.

I haven't updated my radar in awhile but I doubt they've circulated too much stuff out of their catalog. There's certainly a healthy dose of interesting classic horror that I haven't seen before. And I've been meaning to check out WWDITS, thanks for the recommend. Gonna have to poke around again and see what else there is on there (or not), and check back in later.

WWDITS is the reason I got Kanopy. I own the DVD but my player bought the farm and I love re-watching the movie. It takes a little getting used to-Kiwi humor y'know. It gets way funnier with every watch.

Thanks ateix, I'll check it out.
I read a Lincoln Child book called Terminal Freeze ... a kind of horror story that takes place in the arctic.
Got me to wondering if Frankenstein is the original of a "horror" story that at least partly plays out in the arctic?

Name dropped the Criterion Channel in here without much further ado, but for me it is pound for pound the most valuable streaming platform that I drop coin on. Here's this weekend's newsletter:
THE CRITERION CHANNEL
MARCH 12, 2021
NOW PLAYING ON THE CHANNEL
Directed by Preston Sturges
From capitalism to patriotism to politics to marriage, there was virtually no pillar of American life that escaped unscathed during Preston Sturges’s whirlwind heyday in the 1940s. One of the first Hollywood filmmakers to write and direct his own scripts, Sturges took screwball comedy to new heights of sublime absurdity with his elegantly cockeyed dialogue, free-form approach to narrative, and subversive skewering of conventional morality.
Check out the series teaser!
Looking for a place to start?
Barbara Stanwyck sizzles and Henry Fonda bumbles in Sturges’s screwball masterpiece The Lady Eve, perhaps his most emotionally satisfying work. For a taste of Sturges’s irreverent comedy at its most uproarious, check out The Miracle of Morgan’s Creek, a taboo-testing treatment of sex, marriage, and small-town morals that pushed the Production Code to its limit.
ALSO NEW AND NOTEWORTHY
Boat People
One of the major films of the Hong Kong New Wave, Ann Hui’s drama set in postwar Vietnam is a work of indelible humanity and searing political resonance.
