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

Hey I just watched this, too. Pretty great. Steve Perry is an absolute monster-- holy moly. Michael is in another class as well. I wouldn't say any of the others are 'bad' but maybe just not their style of vocals. Huey Lewis was pretty relatable as he's talking about shitting his pants waiting for his part that he doesn't get to practice bc Stevie Wonder and the first few guys kept starting over and redoing their parts...

Best rock vocalist hands down.

Cue MartyFunkhouser!

I enjoy Live at Daryl's House although sometimes I think it would be better without Daryl.

Cyndy Lauper is bad. Bob Dylan is good with his own songs. We are the World was clearly not for him, however. At the same time, imagine not inviting Bob Dylan to something like that.

I think they also knew Madonna would be bad, so they didn't even invite her. Whitney Houston may have had one release before that point, but imagine if she were there.

The biggest mystery to me was not inviting Aretha Franklin.

There's a longer tape on YouTube of Steve Perry, he was nailing it every time. The only other guy doing that was Michael.

Who's his guy? I did a search and couldn't find a clue.

My wife and I watched this last night and loved it. I was never much of a fan of the song, but the back story of how it was made was mesmerizing. Just the logistics of putting it together and then stage managing a group like that with such a short window of time made my head spin. I found myself getting nervous for Quincy Jones and Lionel Ritchie, which doesn't make sense because obviously they did it, but wow.

We were both laughing at poor Bob Dylan. He seemed absolutely miserable.

Hilarious when Waylon Jennings said, "OK, I am out" when they started experimenting with some African lyrics.

Funny to watch Huey Lewis sweat bullets waiting his turn.

Overall, most of those folks come off impressively. Way more patience and humility than I would have expected.

The We Are The World documentary is hilarious in parts. Lionel Richie recounting dealing with Michael Jackson's menagerie while writing the song at Jackson's house is great. Then you see it dawn on Bob Dylan that he can't remotely sing the song. Cyndi Lauper was bad.

And then you have Daryl Hall and Steve Perry who were clearly tremendous vocalists, not to mention Michael Jackson and Diana Ross.

The funniest part was when Paul Simon says to the person next to him, "If someone drops a bomb on this place, John Denver will be back on top".

Yes! That was awesome.

I watched it last night. It was a fun bit of nostalgia. My favorite part was Huey, Kim, and Cindi stressing over their part. It turned out their part was the biggest hook in the whole song. Huey especially nailed that harmony.

I'm guessing it's bc Cyndi Lauper was already on board. Madonna was still a rising star at this point, too, so it wasn't a no-brainer.

Just finished watching Lover Stalker Killer. That is some crazy stuff.

I just watched this and now I want to try mushrooms.

Wow, that is an amazing story. What a psychopath. Excellent true crime doc.

Spoiler for spoiler:

My wife and I both guessed it was Liz the moment the crazy texts started. We were shocked it took the cops so long to start investigating that angle.

midnight mass. really good.

I've had this on my list for a few years, and finally got around to it. Really enjoyed it. Fantastic cinematography and a fairly compelling cast of characters, coupled with a pretty clever plot. I have a few gripes, but nothing major. For me, the Swedish "Let the Right One In" is the best vampire movie out there (the American adaptation "Let Me In" is fine, but not as good as the original, IMO). Midnight Mass is totally different visually than Let the Right One In, but I felt like it is the closest thing to capturing the feel/essence of LTROI. The addiction allegory weaved throughout the story is quite well done.

FTR, Midnight Mass is a 7-ep mini series. So it's a pretty quick watch. Some language and plenty of bloody gore, but no nudity, sex scenes, or overt sexuality, really.

Resident Alien was put onto Netflix, I guess it's a Sci-Fi Channel series. The actual science fiction aspects of this show are definitely secondary to the comedy, the show is legitimately funny. The main character's enemy is a 10 year old boy who's the only that can recognize that he's an alien and he frequently refers to the kid as a "dickhead" and "little bastard."
