Netflix’s DVD Service Is Coming To An End
In 1997, Marc Randolph and Reed Hastings founded Netflix, which would forever change how we watched movies. At first, subscribers could just order rental DVDs from the comfort of their own homes. That was before Netflix turned into a streaming service, which led to the downfall of companies like Blockbuster. Over the past 25 years, Netflix has continued to dominate, but now they are phasing out its DVD service. “After an incredible 25-year run, we’ve decided to wind down DVD.com later this year. Our goal has always been to provide the best service for our members but as the business continues to shrink that’s going to become increasingly difficult.” Netflix co-CEO Ted Sarandos said in a statement yesterday. “Those iconic red envelopes changed the way people watched shows and movies at home — and they paved the way for the shift to streaming. From the beginning, our members loved the choice and control that direct-to-consumer entertainment offered: the wide variety

Netflix Is Testing Games For TV
As far as streaming platforms go, they don’t get much bigger or better than Netflix. But, because of Netflix’s unrivaled success for multiple years, it’s led to other services set out to steal its crown. Therefore, Netflix aims to stay one step ahead of the game by potentially bringing games to the fore via its platform. At present, Netflix remains one of the leading streaming services around where TV shows and movies are concerned, but gaming has always been muted as an option for platforms such as Netflix, and it’s a format that has been used in similar scenarios with live gaming and even popular bingo games have been adapted. But why is there a belief that this could this be a reality for Netflix? Well, it turns out that Netflix is currently believed to be working on a feature that will allow users of its service to use their smartphones as a controller. And, more specifically, as a game

Spoiler-Free Reviews: BLACK MOLD and BLUE HOUR: THE DISAPPEARANCE OF NICK BRANDRETH (Panic Fest 2023)
Black Mold Writer/director John Pata’s Black Mold fairly drips with dread as Brooke (Agnes Albright) and Tanner (Andrew Bailes) — a pair of photographer friends who shoot decrepit, abandoned buildings — find themselves trapped in one such structure by a homeless man (Jeremy Holm) who resembles Brooke’s deceased father. Is it the titular rot that begins to affect the pair’s thinking or supernatural reasons? This is one of the questions posed in the film, and one thing is for certain — there’s psychological horror aplenty on tap. Albright gives a grounded performance as a young woman harboring darkness from her childhood, and Holm gives a solid performance as an enigmatic, paranoid, threatening figure, while Bailes gives a performance that must be seen to be appreciated. It’s an intriguing one that borders at times on scenery chewing without quite crossing the line, and at others as a realistic portrayal of a supportive friend. Tiffany Jasinski’s set design is remarkable — you
