Where did you go on the internet to find this out dude? I’ve bought Parasite a bloody week ago :x


JustWatch is a good app, you can search for any film or TV show and it tells you everywhere its available, although I'm not sure if it includes upcoming releases.


TV Time does a good job too, for tv shows it hooked up to TVDB so has most shows on it.

I'll add it to my list, although best Amazon who for me is The Expanse followed by Preacher which is going to take some beating.

It's so different to those series, I feel nervous comparing them though! I think if you like Avengers but are a bit tired of how schmaltzy it has become, you'll enjoy it. It's basically what it would be like if super heroes actually existed.

Plus it has Karl Urban in probably his best role, so that's always a winner.

His accent in it is terrible though. It's meant to be a cockney accent, but his natural New Zealand accent is still there so it ends up being a mash-up of the two. :lol:

I didn't even realise he was doing a voice, I thought that was his real accent. It's the same voice he did in Thor Ragnarok isn't it?

I think he uses his normal voice in Ragnarok, but in The Boys he sounds like a non-British person attempting
an English accent (which is usually deemed to be either posh or cockney).

I'm not sure where his accent is meant to be because the fella playing his dad in season 2 is doing an Aussie accent I think.

The actor playing his dad is Australian. His mum is played by a British woman.

He's definitely supposed to be British.

Yeah I know, I've had to endure the shitty trailer before every episode of the Boys.

I don't know what you're watching on, but I get the option to skip trailers now on the PS4 app.

Parasite is now available to watch on Prime. Also Borat 2, if that's your thing.

They really seem to be stepping up with their films recently. Need to watch 1917 and Parasite over the weekend.

I imagine the studios are more desperate than ever to get people seeing their movies somewhere so the streaming services are probably having a field day right now

No one watched Borat 2 movie yet then?

Decent enough movie but was always going to be a challenge filming Borat since he's very recognisable.

I did enjoy seeing him having to run from the public as everyone wanted his signature.

The kindness of the babysitter was lovely (apparently she wasn't in on the joke or knew about Borat so it's all genuine).

Tutar's random Facebook group on Holocaust Denial being treated as a fact was well done.

Probably the best scene for me is that Protest with Borat singing "I'm gonna chop him up like the Saudis do" and getting the crowd to sing along. :slol:

From what I’ve heard, it’s more the other way round. The streaming services are desperate for new content, because all production was put on hold for months.

Yeah I imagine thereare pressures on both sides, but with the streaming platforms I imagine it's less. They have incumbent subscribers who are relatively unlikely to ditch them immediately if new content doesn't appear for a while so that's a pretty steady revenue stream. Whereas if you are a content producer who is sat on a new big budget movie with literally no way to make money back on that now or in the near future then you are going to be feeling a considerable squeeze!
