Time to play Streaming Roulette. Each month, to survey new streaming titles we freeze frame the films at random places with the scroll bar and whatever comes up first, that's what we share!

Ready? Let's get right to it...

-God I loved this house.
-Me too.

The Keeping Hours (2017)
Hmmm. Carrie Coon (♥︎) and Lee Pace (♥︎) in a supernatural haunted house movie -- how have we not heard of this one? *does quick google search* ah, no theatrical release, that's how. Should we watch?

-It is his duty to report back to his country. And, as king, it is your duty to protect ours!
-I'm well aware of my duties, General. I cannot just let him die, knowing we can save him.

Black Panther (2018)
One of Black Panther's best qualities is that the hero is actually constantly consulting with the women in his life. He's no lone wolf with passive female support as so many movie heroes are. Available to stream on September 4th in case you'd like a refresher before Oscar season. I'm still expecting a huge haul of nominations for it as well as a win for that idiotic "Popular Achievement" whatever that the Academy is cooking up. 

-What's your poison?
-Vodka
-Vodka?! When do you drink vodka?
-Whenever.

The Breakfast Club (1985)
Ally Sheedy was too cool for school... and soda machines apparently. 

I'll be your groupie if you'll be mine.

A Star is Born (1976)
This is not new to Netflix but it's leaving on September 15th so we wanted to highlight in case you'd like to see it before the new Oscar-buzzing version with Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper hits in October. All three of the previous A Star is Born films have received Oscar love. The 1937 film received 7 nominations including Picture, a special Oscar, and a win for its screenplay. The 1954 version received 6 nominations including in both lead acting categories but didn't win anything, (tragically considering its quality). And the 1976 version, this one, received 4 nominations in craft categories, winning for Best Song.

Summer Catch (2001)
I had to gif that one because Jessica Biel's "whooooo" was such a funny thing to land on. Remember Freddie Prinze Jr? Weirdly he just does voice acting now. I didn't remember his voice being especially memorable, did you?

You been thinking about what I said? About the kiss?

Scarface (1983)
I did not cheat! This is what I landed on in streaming roulette. Glad it was Pfeiffer and not an all male gangster scene. Recently wrote about Scarface here. 

RUN!

10,000 BC (2008)
I saw this in theaters. Lolz, why self, why?! It was utterly ridiculous and surely will look much cheaper streaming. 

You fool, why are you not translating? What did that man just say?

Mr Sunshine (2018)
I would like some translation, too, please. This series airs once weekly on Netflix (I didn't know they did that?) and stars two of South Korea's finest, Lee Byung-hun (Terminator Genisys, The Magnificent Seven) and Kim Tae-ri (The Handmaiden ♥️ ). So I really wanted to watch it but neither are really in this episode, which is such a strange choice for a first episode! It all appears to take place in flashback so Lee Byung-hun's presumably lead character only appears as a framing device in this first episode. Inbetween there's lots of politics, history, little children experiencing tragedy, and general mayhem!
