The Mr and I sometimes wax nostalgic about the days when we were promised streaming or something like it in our youth. "One day, you'll be able to watch any movie you want, any time you want it!"
Lies.
What we somehow didn't see was corporate greed, licensing agreements, etc that would botch the ability for said pipe dream to exist. So instead you're stuck juggling whatever streaming services you're willing to pay for and now it's somehow even worse than when Bruce Springsteen complained about
57 Channels (and Nothin' On). By far not his best work but I still want to scream at him "oh just you wait sir!!" (I could smack Peacock for making Escape to the Chateau a premium feature now when it's been free for the past 2 years!)
So that leads us to try to find what we can for free to entertain us between watching crap we've already seen or God forbid another mindless settling for American Ninja Warrior because what else are we going to watch?
I know I'm probably late to the party but I somehow got suggested
Rachel Maksy's video (I think it was for her kitchen reno) and I've been obsessed since. As a fellow old soul, she appeals to me in that way but her personality reminds me a little of mine before life jaded me. To quote the great
Real Genius "Lately I've been missing me so I asked Dr. Hathaway if I could room with me again and he said sure." It's nice to watch someone lighthearted that dives into things with little fear who isn't afraid to make fun of herself. It doesn't hurt she has an adorable dog. Her cosplay and transformation videos are awesome and we were especially impressed with her
Star Wars one. It's just nice to have some new to me content to throw into rotation to gap us over to the Fall shows. (Not that there are many of those once they do start up but still.)
Give me some more content! Share some of your favorite free shows/YouTubers to watch.

Hot Ones is among my favorite Youtube shows. Watching certain celebrities eat hot wings and suffer through an interview at the same time has a strange but fun appeal for some reason. Nothing will top the Jeff Goldblum episode though, so if you only watch one, let it be that one!
ReplyDeleteThey aren't long or anything, but I enjoy the Holderness family videos on youtube. The songs especially crack me up!
ReplyDeleteMy hubs likes to watch all kinds of things on Pluto and is entertained by shows that I have no clue what they are about. He has found some great animal shows that are hilarious, basically like an America's Funniest Home Videos but for dogs. That I get a big kick out of, but the other stuff I kind of tune out.
