Streaming Content for Cult Fandom
So I went poking around trying to find a free streaming source for Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell and stumbled on this YouTube account of a guy named Owen Davies who is remastering some series that are difficult to find streaming these days. His mission is charming:
Somehow, my channel seems to have turned into a project to remaster and preserve pre-HD media (films, TV shows, miniseries, etc.). I hope you enjoy what's here. [...] I don't monetise my channel or any of its content. It wouldn't be right to do so, since most of it is original work by industry professionals that I've just attempted to clean up and polish with a modern HD/4K shine. YouTube is my hobby, not my source of income. If you run across any ads on my content, I assure you they've been put in place by the legal rights holders in order to gather revenue - which is what allows me to legally make most of this content public :^)
If you need a free, easy way to stream the following shows, he has them in lovely organized playlists ready to go:
Stephen King's Rose Red (2002)
The Nightmare Worlds of H.G. Wells (2016)
Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell (2015)
The 10th Kingdom (2000)
Dead Like Me (2003)
Farscape (1999)
Merlin (1998)
Jim Henson's The Storyteller (1988)
Roar (1997)
...and lots more! A lot of "cult" TV content that has been kicked to the curb by its original streaming providers, or is only available in specific countries. In an age when digital content is just disappearing because CEOs consider it too expensive to bother retaining, it's really cool to see someone doing restoration work that also makes things available to the public for free.
ETA: I know there's debate around losing the "grittiness" of old media and whether 4k restoration removes that magic. I get that debate! For me, this is more about preserving content that is disappearing/hard to access. Okay, enjoy the show!

(im defining gay cult classic as in... Shows especially loved by gay folks even if theyre otherwise popular, or shows about gay ppl that are overlooked but have ppl tht are hardcore fans )
(*i think only gay men in a specific five year age range with specific interests know abt this show)
(**look the amount of gay ppl tht came out as lovers of jackass and how homoerotic it somehow is and what meant a lot to people who watched it when they were younger. Heres an article link)
(yes these are all old bc i think cult classic as a category is harder to define today because of all of the different streamers along with the many different channels )
(*** I dont want my calling this a cult classic could be taken as my underscoring how important this series is. But the unfortunate fact is that it's mostly talked about from gay Black men under a certain age)
Reblog so it gets out of my immediate tumblr circle

I adored this show when I was a kid. It was made for peanuts and was absolutely the weirdest, scariest show on tv at the time. Sort of like a British Twin Peaks. In fact David Lynch would have been in the country filming The Elephant Man when it was being broadcast. I wonder if he saw it? Terry Gilliam definitely did because he stole the lengthening room from it for Time Bandits.

Do you love Twin Peaks and want a reason for a re-watch? How about a ton of historical context and behind the scenes info? Maybe a ton of deep theory from a wide swath of Twin Peaks thinkers over the years?
I may just have what you need; I’m going chronologically through Twin Peaks one installment at a time, and soon I’ll be releasing episodes covering the end of Season 2. It’d sure be nice to have you there with me.
