I’ve been watching Tubi/Crackle/pluto which are free streaming services which have a lot of ads but that’s fine. They have a massive library of older content (if you want to sell me a streaming service tell me about the older content) including older British shows which I love. Its funny because I grew up in the 80s and 90s and they will have some b movies from that era that either I haven’t seen or haven’t seen in a long time and it will be amazing compared to stuff coming out today because the men act like men and women are feminine and they tell jokes that are actually funny.
Anyone else ever come across an old b movie and find it very refreshing?
You can just torrent everything.
Of course older shit is better, because the atheistic jews that run Hollywood only cared about making money back then and lacked confidence in deviating from that to preach leftist propaganda.
The problem was that we had a snowball effect where the Left kept pushing more politics into the movies and tv shows a little bit more each time, and it accelerated once they became confident that nobody would stop them and there would be no backlash.
It's interesting to look back at old movies and TV shows to see the little bits of wokeness that were in there the whole time, which we just didn't notice because the overall quality of the craft was so much higher.
Miami Vice, one of my favorite TV shows, had an episode (I can't remember the title of it right now) about homosexuals and how they were discriminated against. And yet if that show came out today it would be critically panned for its portrayal of masculine men.
Star Trek is probably the most obvious of old shows pushing wokeness, however the writing back then was so far above the shit they put out now like Discovery, that it's tolerable to watch.
pandering to the poor faggots and how bad they had it was all the rage in the 1980s because of AIDS. libs got super mad that some people said the faggots deserved AIDS for their gay bathhouse orgies so they constantly tried to propagandize on their behalf tor sympathy points.
funny to see how when they tried to do the same thing with monkeypox it fell flat.
I used to watch this show about a dad living with his family in San Francisco. Even as a teen I recognized how much of it was progressive bullshit. "Fuck you your dad is right even if the show purposefully frames him in a negative light most of the time"
I gave Gene Rodenberry's Andromeda a watch on RokuTV. Very enjoyable until the last season. Also, same service, I watched the John Wick movies. Some good classics, especially 80's TV (Airwolf, A-Team).
Something I did find on Pluto TV though- the original 70's Kamen Rider.
Dammit, now I have the Airwolf theme stuck in my head.
Yep, it was catchy. Too bad I decided to drop that series after the first episode of its final season. There are some things you just don't do.
I watched it all. Never understood why they totally changed everything the final season
Obviously an actor & budget thing. The awful sets (secret Airwolf hangar, Airwolf cockpit) didn't help either. I hear there was no new Airwolf (copter) footage used at all in the final season.
I’ve been meaning to see if I can find an Airwolf toy
Don't remind me of that
Kamen Rider? I’ll have to check that out. As a little kid I watched a lot of A-Team and Magnum since my dad was a big fan. I’ve heard A-Team described as the last show truly made for guys
A-Team was awesome. Real bro show.
That awful remake movie with edgelord baracus should be blown to bits by Airwolf.
If you like the Japanese live action shows, download the Shout Factory TV app. They have several seasons of Kamen Rider, Ultraman, and just about every season of the super sentai series that became Power Rangers in the US along with a ton of other offbeat shows.
I've been absorbing original Dark Shadows for the past year (1966-71). It has a very refreshing lack of modern bullshit. I originally watched reruns as a kid in the 90s with my dad, so this re-watch is giving me a lot of bonus nostalgia as well.
That’s like a horror soap opera right? I need to watch it from beginning to end
Yes, it covers many horror themes and tropes: vampires, ghosts, witches, gypsies, werewolves, etc. I started at the beginning and I'm about 800 episodes in out of 1200. It was originally released daily, so there are a lot of episodes.
No. I find it painful to even try to watch shows idc what era it is. It's pure distraction.
I just re-watched an English show from the early 00's called Green Wing, and it actually caught me off guard how enjoyable it was compared to modern shows.
They consistently depicted women as feminine and men as masculine. One of the recurring characters is a black guy who has to deal with some weak racism from another character, and not once did the writers make it about what a burden it is to have to live with white people.
The characters were individuals, not representations. It was almost cathartic. I definitely recommend Green Wing (although it is very surreal).
That’s another thing. Black characters not having to give a speech about their oppression
Hard as hell to find "Plunkett and Maclean" anywhere
Dragnet too and Adam-12!
I like Emergency. Very good show. A local channel down here shows it.
Nice! I have freevee too. Forgot to mention it.
