I've found that the VHS Vault on the Internet Archive is a good source for old movies taped off television. If you don't mind an edited cut and old US cable commercials, here's an old TBS Superstation movie night broadcast.

I love when old recordings include the commercials and local news bumpers. It lends context to the video, about what was happening around the time it aired.

These days, we get used to watching older content by itself, in a vacuum, which is also enjoyable. But I find it interesting to be reminded of the environment that recording existed in, originally. What people were thinking about, the trends, the fashions, the hot new products, and so on.

Why Women Kill.
A dark comedy series from the creator of Desperate Housewives. Edge of the seat twists and turns. Lots of WTF plot twists. Very funny dark humor
On Hulu 10/10

I watched Season 1 of The Night Agent on Netflix.
Had it on my watch list for a while but decided to catch it now because new episodes were released here in Australia a couple of days ago.
Really enjoyed it, pretty straightforward White House conspiracy plot but nicely done.

Meh, the reality of what's going on there right now is definitely not 'nicely done' though IMHO

Edit: dangit I'd been trying hard to avoid making any kind of comment whatsoever about the politics so please ignore the above

I watched Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga. I think the popular opinion about it is that it's good, but not as good as Fury Road, and I get that. Fury Road seems to be established as George Miller's magnum opus. Still, I think I like Furiosa better. While I appreciate the Mad Max movies that have a simple narrative and focus more on the action, like Fury Road and Road Warrior, I really have a soft spot for the movies that add to the interesting characters, setting, and lore, like Furiosa and Beyond Thunderdome. Also, one especially cool thing about Furiosa is that it proves there's room for stories where a Mad Max isn't the central character. I guess we'll have to hope George Miller will live forever, or maybe be able to pass the torch to folks who will get it right.

Anyway, I'm now on a big post-apocalyptic kick. I'm going to rewatch all the Mad Max movies.
