I was wondering if you guys would be wanting to do a double feature on films running around 90 mins as it would spread the selection out a bit but at the same time wouldn’t be possible with select features (for example Jaws as a creature feature is 2+ hours running). We could run a double feature for that but it seems that a 3 or 4 hour commitment might be heavy for some but enjoyable for others. However it could allow people to pop in when convenient and give their two cents. I will say the Fistful of Dollars stream was a ton of fun because a good movie and joking around live with the community was honestly on par with an in group mystery science theater feel. Just throwing it out there as we could have a main pick along with a joke pick to get drunk and joke alone with each other in live chat or 2 great picks for people to enjoy and take the piss out of. The clear voiceovers of the kids in fistful of dollars is an example because of the hilariously bad quality, the same with the inside community jokes of saying the Imp would love this film when a woman was mercilessly cut down.

Another thought since people (including myself) showing up late was the main issue: put a "short" at the beginning of the playlist to give people a chance to roll in late. For October it could be something like It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown that's still enjoyable in its own right for people who show up on time but also lets people roll in a bit late and not feel like they missed much.
But I like the double feature idea too. Reminds me of going to the drive thru as a kid.
That’s what I was kinda thinking, having the buffer movie for those with time and the main feature after
Yeah it's a good idea, but if you (eg.) targeted 20-30 minutes for the buffer instead of using a full feature-length film you could still do it for something like Jaws without it becoming a 4-hour event.
Suppose it can depend on the length of the main feature: target say 3 hours and if your main is on the long side you go short on the buffer, and if your main is 90-ish minutes you can do a double-feature.
