The "did you know this streams on Netflix?" thread

I happened to watch it last night. The part that struck me the most was Nixon saying that if not for Martha Mitchell there would have been no Watergate scandal.

That was interesting, although I'd guess Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein would like a word. I also liked Martha's comment about how Watergate was actually a good thing, since it would force future politicians to be honest. Maybe not.

If you're interested in learning a bit more about Watergate (Stop, come back!) you should spend 40 minutes on "The Margaret Mitchell Effect," for me an entertaining and informative trip down memory lane that provides details of which I had been unaware. She's a more sympathetic (if a bit weird) character than I remembered. It's mercifully brief and well done.

I’m a huge Stranger Things fan. But after watching the first episode last night I felt kind of ‘meh’. I’m still gonna watch it, can’t wait to see Hopper again, but I don’t think they can maintain the spark for another season.

Yeah, wasn't great. Also way too horror movie.

Dang it. Spoilers, man.

I have 2-3 episodes to go and if Wendy Byrd doesn't die, so help me ...

Well you knew some people were going to die. I didn’t reveal anything. Maybe I wanted other people than you

but that probably should have wrapped some spoiler tags around that. Apologies.

Did not particularly appreciate that Ozarks ending. The wrong people got killed.

Netflix reflects on the Dave Chappelle controversy and looks at what happened to Disney and makes a wise move.

And to put this in perspective, prior to this quarter Netflix had never shown a loss in subscribers.

If my grandkids weren't the ones watching Netflix...I'd drop it.

If T-Mobile wasn't paying the majority of my Netflix sub, I would likely be out.

So, apparently we were spot on re: Netflix and their place in the streaming universe.

They're bringing a third race to the US next year to be held in Vegas. It's street circuit, half of which is on the strip running from the Venetian to, I believe, just south of the Bellagio.

If I were still at my old firm, I could sit in the conference room and watch the loop around the MSG Sphere for free
