Urgent Message: “The Munsters” Leaving Netflix On January 1st!
Time to binge some classic television.
Netflix is always jam-packed with television shows both from the major networks and originally produced, and there’s just so much programming on there that it’s impossible to get to it all before it inevitably goes away. That’s why we like to inform you when something really cool is getting set to leave Netflix. We want to make sure you watch awesome things while you have a chance.
Unfortunately, we come bearing the news today that both seasons of “The Munsters” will be leaving Netflix on January 1st, 2017, which means you only have three more weeks to cuddle up on the couch with Herman, Lily, and the gang. Of course, you probably should own the complete series on DVD by now, but if you don’t, now’s the time to hunker down and do some binging.
How long would it take you to watch the entire series, you ask? Well, there were 70 episodes spread across two seasons of “The Munsters,” and at around 25-minutes apiece, that adds up to a grand total running time of 1,750 minutes. That’s a whole lot of minutes, but we have faith in your TV-watching stamina. It may sound less daunting if we break that down to 29-hours.
No? Even more daunting? Oh come on, it’s such a great show!
In “The Munsters”:
A family of friendly monsters have misadventures, never quite understanding why people react to them so strangely.
What are you waiting for? Go binge!
“She’s mine, and I’m hers.”
The prison movie is a cornerstone of the cinematic landscape. Often adjacent to horror, there’s something inherently horrific about a building full of “convicts” jockeying for power. Criminal masterminds and the wrongfully convicted alike become pawns in a dehumanizing system and struggle to stay alive in the restrictive environment. Claire Denis pushes this genre to its outer limits with sci-fi and horror elements comparing incarceration to the prison of the human body. Her 2018 film High Life follows a group of prisoners turned astronauts who struggle to retain their humanity after the world has cast them out.
When we first meet Monte (Robert Pattinson), he’s raising a toddler on an isolated space station in the galaxy’s outer reaches. His daughter Willow was conceived through assault by fellow inmate Dr. Dibs (Juliette Binoche) as a part of her mission to reproduce in space. As Denis unpacks the story of this troubled crew, they slowly realize they have been discarded and forgotten. Some find freedom to enact their violent agendas while others try to retain a semblance of normalcy in the extreme environment. Essentially guinea pigs, Monte and his crewmates hurtle through space and grope for a reason to keep existing.
The Lady Killers continue Killer Moms Month with Claire Denis’ beautifully complex film. Co-hosts Jenn Adams, Mae Shults, Rocco T. Thompson, and Sammie Kuykendall chart the mysteries of the cosmos in their quest to understand the glacial plot. They’ll chat about screaming babies, space gardens, black holes and spaghetti along with heavier themes like reproduction and bodily autonomy. Why is Dr. Dibbs so obsessed with pregnancy? Why doesn’t Monte partake of the sex box? Does Mia Goth actually have a big booty and what really happened on that spaceship filled with dogs? They’ll approach the black hole and try to withstand spaghettification while zeroing in on the unpleasant themes of this exceptional film.
