@Snatcher seriously though how can you have 10 streaming services and still not have access t everything you want. And some are just doomed to fail no one is buying AMC +
@HotGoomba It just feels like licensing agreements only exist to get in your way. Just as an example I wanted to watch Wolverine with my grandfather to introduce him to Deadpool and set up the post crest scene Easter egg. But for some reason origins is not on Disney plus. Why!!! Disney owns it? I love Shazam I hope nothing happens to harm the movies succes

By the way, just to let you know, I checked JustWatch, it shows Wolverine Origins available on Starz...
It's perhaps a bit too long and some of the night scenes are way too dark (I think this is more of a Disney+ problem than one of the film itself as I've had the problem in some of their series, though the scene where Namor first snuck up on Shuri & her mother was so dark it was almost like just watching a bunch of disembodied voices, lol), however the tributes to T'challa (and Chadwick Boseman himself) were well done & emotional (I was almost tearing up by the after credits scene), and when it got around to it the action was fun (Namor in particular was pretty badass).
Return of Godzilla/Godzilla 1984 (Blu-Ray)
Original Japanese version.
80's (soft) reboot of the classic Kaiju film series that acts as a direct followup to the 50's original, aiming to bring it back down to it's roots as more a grounded warning of the power of nuclear power, in contrast to the campy monster "vs" movies the series had become over the past couple decades.
After the titular monster awakens from a decades long slumber it attacks a Soviet nuclear submarine & Japan finds itself in the middle of Cold War drama as the Soviets & Americans jointly agree that the best course of action would be to nuke him out of existence right on Tokyo's doorstep, and the Japanese must find a way to neutralize the threat before real catastrophe strikes.
It mostly still holds up, all things considered. It does feel like there was at least some level of pressure to shoehorn in some toy marketing material with the whole "Super X" subplot (a futuristic flying war machine with laser blasters & the like), but otherwise the more political elements & pretty grounded military capabilities make the effort successful.
