using this platform has really made me appreciate the antiquated internet a lot more than i used to. i’m sure a lot of users here feel the same way, so here’s a few streaming services that have a similar experience to this one in my opinion.
night flight specializes in bringing back the eighties feel of mtv and vh1, the service offers a more music oriented direction with a few odds and ends thrown into the mix. midnight pulp is a bit more generic as it features a good helping of b-movies, horror flicks, and offbeat animated films.
my favorite by far however, has got to be eternal family. while eternal family is similar to midnight pulp, i feel that it’s a lot more curated than the latter. you can find everything from italian giallo to czech new wave to retro anime, and even some really interesting shorts and features that fall on the artistic side. midnight pulp specializes more into trash cinema while eternal family is more art house and experimental films, but still features classic b-movie fare and shitty vintage anime too. they even offer a handful of original programming from the likes of kerwin frost, mac demarco, and jerry paper. eternal family is my favorite because it goes out of it’s way to create a specific identity that makes it stand out from the rest (also has very good brand identity from a graphic designer’s pov). honestly, it’s inspired me to try and start up my own public access style show somewhere down the line, where i showcase strange videos and weird films that i’ve collected myself.
go check out all three if you’re looking for entertainment that’s outside the bounds of corporate entities like netflix or hulu.
