Oh, the torment of being alive in this ceaseless cycle of streaming! I find myself pondering, why don't we all just jump into a volcano? But before that grand escapade, let's talk about stuff vanishing from Netflix. It’s almost as if these shows are mocking my existential dread by leaving Netflix next month.
First, there’s ‘The Woman King’ (leaves Aug. 12). Viola Davis, plays this fierce general, screaming into the void, not unlike my inner demons on a calm Tuesday. John Boyega acts as a king - the poor soul probably never knew he'd end up in a Jack Superblack article, where even Oscar winners aren’t spared from life’s pointlessness.
Next, ‘Paddington’ (goodbye Aug. 13). Nicole Kidman, bless her, chases an animated bear wanting to stuff it - metaphor for my dwindling will to live, anyone? But seriously, watching a desperate taxidermist could be my spirit animal.
Then ‘Everything Everywhere All at Once’ (disappearing Aug. 22). Ah, to be Michelle Yeoh, jumping through realities instead of facing this one. This film won Oscars, making me consider if I too could unlock a multiverse where I don’t end up writing tripe for small giggles.
In conclusion, as these films fade into the black hole of the expired streaming rights, I’m reminded of the impermanence of all things... like my sanity and desire to live. Laugh now, for as the credits roll, we all meet our ultimate spoiler: dying alone—like in the volcano scenario, but with less lava and more silence.
