reality shows, etc. So, what happened? Yeah, we kept our cable because our Internet connection is attached. We added Netflix, Amazon Prime (free shipping), Disney + (Hulu comes in our bundle), Apple TV + and we signed up for the free ones Peacock, Tubi, Pluto. And we get our exercise in the evening with 15-20 minutes of finger-clicking, going from service to service to find the one thing we want to watch. Usually, we end up … settling! It’s true, we didn’t for Mulan. We dropped $30 on top of our annual fee. We got to watch Black Panther free, thanks to ABC (Disney) as well as 42 and Da 5 Bloods on Netflix. Yes, we called it a Chadwick Boseman day to appreciate what we’d lost. A friend dropped $20 to watch Love and Monsters. Our theater-loving lady friend (Sarah B) took a bargain flight to Austin, TX to see Tenet at the AMC theater. Hey, she likes movies in movie houses, and nothing was open in CA. Once she’s seen it … she’s seen it! We’re the same with our DTC services … once we’ve seen it, we’re done with it. Or, to put it less subtly … Netflix don’t suggest it again … and again. Actually, we read a piece recently by someone who said if you watched all of the stuff on Netflix right now, it would take you four years, round-the-clock. Disney+, Amazon, Peacock would be worse. Sorry to tell you Reid/Ted, Bob, Jeff, Tim, Brian and your “people” but we don’t like everything you put out and we simply don’t have the time to be brain dead that long to watch … stuff!
