I started a subscription to Disney Plus, Hulu, and ESPN Plus yesterday. I did it because Brooke wanted to watch Hamilton. The package will run me 14$ a month.
I could have got only Disney but the other 2 channels seemed like a deal. I don’t know what will be on ESPN+ but it could come in handy after sports starts again, Hell, it might show Australian Rules Football. Hulu has some interesting series like Handmaid’s Tale (for Brooke) and Mrs. America, supposedly a series about Phyllis Schafly.
I’m not happy about giving Disney money because I think they have way too much cash. They bought Star Wars and Marvel. Now they can put their view on these franchises. I’m talking about girlying up the female super heroes. If the mouse was in control Princess Leia would never been in that bikini.
I can’t complain about the library. I’m watching Neil Degrasse Tyson’s version of Cosmos. I’ve watched the original animated version of the Jungle Book with the cool music. They are also offering their science films with the original German rocket scientests, They’ve got the channel divided into 5 sections, Disney, Pixar,Marvel, Star Wars, and National Geographic.
The Marvel section has all the movies but what surprised me is all the animated series. I’m watching the X-Men. It’s good because the animation doesn’t look like a cheap Saturday morning cartoon and the characters are drawn for adults (men are cut with muscles and the women are curvy),
The Pixar section has the movies too but I watched a show called Pixar in Real Life. The episode I watched had the emotion control panel from Inside Out controlling actors in a park. Real people would play with the controls and suddenly two people would get angry, sad or however the switches and dials were moved. It was a guilty pleasure. If another adult had been in the room I would not have tried it.
We’ve seen a few episodes of The Mandalorian in the Star Wars section. I’m considering getting into the Rebels animated series,
