There’s way too many streaming services. We need to streamline it somehow:
- Bundle several streaming services into one package and you pay one price
- You can upgrade this package by adding more premium services a la carte
- Maybe it can come through some sort of cable idk

There are two kinds of horror movies:

- ones which have a monster that’s a metaphor for grief or trauma. Those are Babadook movies.

- ones which have a monster that’s just like a big spider. Or a mean truck. Those are non-Babadook movies.
