"We should try that Netflix Watch Party extension!" (https://www.netflixparty.com/)
"All of us in three states watching a movie together!"
"So what should we watch?"
".......uh...."
Thus launching an hour-long conversation between Elizabeth, Kathryn, Nathan and Hannah, trying to figure out, among all the movies on Netflix and Amazon, what we could all watch with Mom and Dad. When you take into account what everyone likes and hates and what everybody's already seen recently and what we can actually get our hands on, we need to have one of those rooms with the post-it notes and strings tied everywhere to figure it out.
We edited the hell out of this conversation to take out all the times we were just scrolling through award lists and going "hmm......let's seeee..."
This week’s outro is a clip from Nocturnia https://freemusicarchive.org/music/Psychadelik_Pedestrian/Nocturnia/05_-_Psychadelik_Pedestrian_-_Nocturnia by Psychadelik Pedestrian. (We used that one back on episode 120, but we like it so we're using it again.) https://pixelatedgeek.com/2018/03/binary-system-podcast-120-black-panther-and-idws-transformers/
Possible movies and shows for the whole family to watch (some we’ve never seen, and some that some of us have seen, but we'd like to see again with everybody):
Schitt’s Creek
Hidden Figures
Tinker Taylor Soldier Spy (both the movie and the original mini series)
Back to the Future
Raiders of the Lost Ark
O Brother Where Art Thou
The Big Sick
Call the Midwife
Knives Out
Brick
The original True Grit
The ORIGINAL Wicker Man
The Inventor: Out for Blood in Silicon Valley
Parasite (maybe?)
Last Temptation of Christ (maybe?)

MST3K (Starcrash or Gunslinger)
Movies we like that also got a mention (but we’ve either watched recently or didn’t think Mom and Dad would like):
The Apartment
Finding Bobby Fisher
Arrival
Tag
Into the Spider-Verse
Black Panther
Mad Max Fury Road

The Ballad of Buster Scruggs
Inception
Snowpiercer
All About Eve

Sling Blade
As Good As It Gets
The King’s Speech

Movies actively ruled out:
Disney’s Animated Robin Hood (Dad doesn’t like cartoons)
The Irishman (Dad is interested but he can watch that ON HIS OWN)
Black Panther (Mom and Dad aren’t really into Superhero movies
The Lobster (“Fuck off you stupid movie” - Elizabeth)
The Guy Pearce Time Machine (meh, except for Orlando Jones)
Cabin in the Woods (not really a Mom and Dad movie)
Haunting of Hill House (We've all seen it. And Mom HATED it)
Mystic River (Kathryn and Hannah disliked intensely)
Remains of the Day (because it makes Nathan want to slap Anthony Hopkins)
Howard's End (same reason as above)
Okja (Jake Gyllenhall bugs)
The Kingsman (little too violent and risqué to watch with one’s parents)
A Clockwork Orange (those of us who’ve seen it don’t need to see it again.)
