I'm thinking it would be good to do a more television oriented thing before doing the movie. Probably 7pm East. So the question is if and what show

Now I'll be honest. I'm proposing this for pure marketing purposes. Getting people in the room before the movie starts is a huge win because I push this out to a lot of places, but when people click in and see an empty room 90% take off. So if I have people in before the movie it will improve things by 4x.

The polls make it very easy to add things now so if you give me any more recommendations I can add them quicker.

If we do a shorter show, ~20-22 minutes, we can do two episodes. If we do a longer show, ~45 minutes, we can do one. The key thing is the movie has to start at 8pm. That in between time is a good opportunity for watching random clips people add or music.

When you vote Yes it locks off voting on the other options.

The American Utopia show with John Cusack that predicted the Covid pandemic & response would be fun to watch.

The British one did too. I wonder how related they are. Does it involve a comic strip?

Dunno, I've only seen a few clips from the US show.

Would be interesting to compare the two series, potentially boring if repetitious. Start with the first?

  • Severance (sci-fi series)
  • Silo (sci-fi series)
  • Three Body Problem (sci-fi series)
  • user's choice (make an open list of users to cycle through (newer additions on the end of the list), and each movie night a single user takes a turn as VJ, for better or worse
  • <strike> We (sci-fi movie)</strike>

Also recommendation for polls: The option to make it a OP-user poll or an open-poll where other users may add items to the list.

Edit:

Correction, We is a movie (based on the novel written before 1984 and BNW) that I confused with the Brave New World series. Haven't yet seen either.
