Checking one out is fun, too. It feels like an event vs. just watching anything out of boredom

Shows are harder to come by though

That depends on your library

You can also buy used DVDs. Just got a stack of studio Gibili movies for a fraction of the price they cost when they were new. Still haven’t watched all of them, but some I have watched more than once.

It just switches the question to the library: “What will we borrow tonight?”

We used to rent movies every weekend when I was a kid, and we supported our local video rental store instead of Blockbuster. It was so much fun to decide what to rent! The staff there always knew so much about movies too, and we'd follow their recs often. We watched a bunch of classics and silent films that there's no way would get visibility on streaming libraries today. I wish I'd kept a journal of all the movies we watched, I remember almost no titles now.

Yes but you have that discussion somewhere else. By the time your ready to be watching something you have made that choice
