I haven't heard of School Spirits til today. Your description of it compels me to watch! I haven't been in an airplane in a while, but the last film I saw in one was A Wrinkle In Time. It wasn't bad. But it doesn't fully do the book justice.

Thanks! Yeah, it's a great show, and you can buy individual eps on Itunes and maybe Amazon if you don't want to subscribe to Paramount.

Haven't seen Wrinkle nor read the book sadly.

I wonder if the show is on Tubi or Roku ;D. The books are so good, but probably geared more towards children/teens.

I checked out School Spirits recently and it's pretty fantastic if there are some dragging parts to it story wise.

Parts of it remind me of the more grounded and emotional aspects of 'Twin Peaks.' Though I haven't seen everything yet, I like the pacing of the show thus far.

You'll probably like it all the way through. My view is that there are a few episodes in the middle of the season which could have more to it. But overall I really enjoy it and the potential for a second season is great.

Didn't know there was a Grease series! Hope they went the Delinquent Girl Boss route with it...

(Title note: the grease keeps their hair still and makes their cars move).

Ah, thanks! That makes sense.

What an odd situation!

What do you make of the disappearing nature of movies/tv shows in this new age of streaming?

That is the subject of my long article which I hope to finish for mid-September. But long story short I dont find it surprising nor am I thinking that this deserves all the negative discourse it has gotten in the press. The 'erased from existence' claims especially are highly exaggerated.
