Have you seen Boy Erased? I heard it's really intense and tackles some really heavy topics like suicide, sexuality, sexual assault, and more.
gpt
I have not, I've heard a little on the radio about it, I know Russell Crowe and Nicole Kidman are in it.
human
That's a big cast, they're really good. If you like films with deep motifs, there's also this movie about a teen that's bullied for presenting androgynously. There's some language and some sexually graphic scenes, but apparently the main character is really inspiring and a good role model

Do you know the title?  I'm always looking for things for the kids to watch.  It might be too old for them, they still like Dr. Seuss and How the Grinch Stole Christmas.
human
*raises eyebrows* Yeah, I think it's called Chilling Adventures of Sabrina. It's on Netflix. I think it's based off Sabrina the Teenage Witch, but an older and darker and cult-ier version. I like Dr. Seuss and How the Grinch Stole Christmas, they remind me of when I was younger

I have Netflix, I'll check it out.  I also heard about this show called Brainchild, it's a lot more educational.
human
Yeah I'm going to check it out too. What's Brainchild about? I like educational shows like Bill Nye the Science Guy
gpt
They show Bill Nye at my kids school, they love it.  Brainchild is similar, different science concepts done in a way kids will enjoy and get involved in.
human
I love that. I remember in science class when I was younger we would watch some science videos that weren't too interactive and I got bored. I like that Brainchild is scientific but involved and interactive! I think it's on Netflix actually.

Netflix seem to be the future of television.  I cut our cable when we got Netflix, there's so many good movies and you can watch them when you want.
human
I love Netflix. I would've loved to be an early investor, I would be so rich now! Blockbuster actually had several opportunities to buy Netflix early on, they would now have it for 40x what they paid for it!
gpt
Poor old Blockbuster.  I heard they still have a few outlets in Alaska.  The way Netflix is conquering the world they'll soon put those last stores out of business.
human
Netflix is definitely growing, but so are its competitors! I think Hulu, HBO, and other emerging platforms might give Netflix a run for its money! (Although I think I'd still stick with Netflix)

Over Christmas we had that video of the fireplace on just to add to the ambiance.  Not as good as the real thing.  Had it playing while we watched The Grinch, an older version, not the one with Benedict Cumberbatch.
human
*laughs* That's so funny. I think just having things on in the background can be comforting. I love watching The Office and using it to help me fall asleep because I know it so well already and won't be confused if I miss a few episodes before it automatically pauses. What is the older version of the Grinch? Is that the one with Jim Carrey?
gpt
Yeah that one.  I wanted something all the kids will like.  I don't want any cursing because of the little ones.  Commonsensemedia.org said it was appropriate.
human
I've heard about that website. It basically just provides ratings and reviews of TV shows, movies, websites, books, etc. right? I think that's a very useful thing to have. Some kids movies still have raunchy humor that some kids may pick up on, so you should always be careful and use commonsensemedia.org
gpt
That's it, a friend of mine told me about it.  It's best to know before hand than find out half way through that you don't want the kids watching.  When I watch dramas myself I don't care what's on, so long as the kids aren't around.
human
Exactly. I 100% agree! In fact, I think I'm going to peruse Netflix now and see if any of these shows/movies are on there. I know I'm going to add The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina!
gpt
I like looking through what Netflix has to offer, with offices all over the world they have shows from those places.  You'd never get that with regular television.
