More rental than streaming but I wasn't sure where else to put this.

You can rent The Grandmaster (Hong Kong Cut) this weekend for $10. I will probably jump on this unless I can get an import Bluray for $10 or less.

Has anybody used this streaming service for Docs?

Seems cheap and I believe available world wide.  Maybe leans to educational?

I have a friend who uses it an enjoys it for educational docs. I can't justify yet another service, but it does seem right up my alley

I went into the Criterion Channel today and saw that in the Library section (which used to just house the Continue Watching and My List categories) it now also lists a Purchases category. My guess is.for rentals and such, but it would be cool as hell if it was gonna be used for allowing us to stream the movies and special features of all of our owned movies somehow.

I’m two episodes into Defending Jacob. Seems like a middling five-hour version of that movie I didn’t watch with I think Liam Neeson and the kid from T2? Before & After? Something like that. Anyway, definitely less compelling than my revisit of the first season of Elementary on Hulu.

I loved Greyhound too on Apple TV. Cherry is set to release 3/12 there. The Billie Eilish thing dropped yesterday too if you’re into that. Palmer is okay.

Otherwise WolfWalkers, Boys State and On the Rocks. Never saw The Banker.
