Ever pondered the sheer pointlessness of being just to realize your streaming subscription is the closest thing to a lifelong commitment? Well, you are not alone. Jack Superblack here, contemplating whether my love for Netflix is but a brief respite from the eternal nap that tempts my weary soul.
‘Don't Die: The Man Who Wants to Live Too Much’
Starting with the paradoxically titled "Don’t Die," where the entrepreneur Bryan “Immortal” Johnson throws piles of cash to dodge the Grim Reaper. Directed by Chris “Catastrophe” Smith, this documentary will make you question if the secret to eternity is just having an overly padded bank account. Spoiler: It’s not, but the laughs you get might add a few seconds to your life—or at least feel like it.
‘Hope You're Gone’
"Missing You"? More like "Hope You're Gone." Imagine finding your long-lost fiancé on Tinder during a bathroom break. Rosalind Eleazar stars as Kat Donovan, who sifts through dating disasters only to unravel a past that stubbornly refuses closure, much like my multiple failed attempts to end it all.
‘Cunk on Existence’
And if you think life’s tough, watch "Cunk on Life," where Philomena Cunk (Diane Morgan) wanders, baffled by humanity’s stubborn insistence on surviving. It’s like a cosmic joke without a punchline, penned by the wickedly morose Charlie Brooker.
So, should you watch? Sure, if only to temporarily drown out the existential whisper urging you towards the void—or maybe just for a few morbid chuckles before the inescapable solitude of your quiet, darkened living room reminds you that in the end, we all stream alone.
