Topic: Anne of Green Gables
The anime adaptation of Anne of Green Gables won the #otakuclub vote! This one seems elusive, so I'll let you know once I've figured out how I'm going to watch it, in case it ends up helping you. Please join me in watching and discussing. Thanks! And a special thanks to @lyzander_cross for making the initial suggestion and to @awesome_user_Julz for helping me work around our technical difficulties!

See DiscussionTopic: Animal Farm
The 1954 animated adaptation of Animal Farm is currently on Freevee, Hoopla, Tubi. One of my favorite factoids about Animal Farm is that Orwell struggled to find a publisher because the Stalinist USSR was an Allied Power during WW2. He couldn't get his book published on a large scale until the Cold War started.
Topic: District B13
This French movie helped introduce the parkour style of action choreography, that would be used by mainstream films like Casino Royale a couple of years later. It has similar setup to to the Raid movies, with the protagonists having to fight off a horde of enemies in long action sequences. I suspect the acting is bad (it’s in French) and script by Luc Besson is just adequate but the action sequences are a lot of fun and the film has a ton of energy. It’s on almost all of the free streamers.

This is a great possession horror movie! My only complaint is that the ending was a little hard to understand for me, but that is very much a me problem. I thought the scares in this were good and they caught me off guard! Would I say it scared me?? Not really. But, the idea of something like this happening is scary... I definitely would recommend this movie. Unless you're not okay with watching violence and gore!
Topic: Terrifier 3
One of the most anticipated movies of the year! Terrifier Three does not hold back at all! Does it make complete sense? Of course not, but was it a fun ride? YES. I will say, if you have not seen Terrifier or Terrifier 2, then you will be very confused with most of the storyline. I don't suggest going in blind. Besides that, I highly recommend watching Art the Clown completely mutilate people
Topic: The Rocky Horror Picture Show
Looks like the #fantasylandviewingclub is "do[ing] the Time Warp again," or for the first time, in my case, since I've never seen The Rocky Horror Picture Show. This may ACTUALLY be a science fiction movie, but having never seen the movie, I can't press it, since there might be a ghost, or something. I'll try to find a live showing for the "full experience," but I don't really know how to. If anyone has any suggestions, then please let me know. Otherwise, please join, watch and discuss. Thanks!
Topic: Speak No Evil
The original version of Speak No Evil with James Mcavoy. I highly recommend this film even if you have seen the new version recently released in theaters. It's a bit of a different telling of the story, darker and more sinister like any good ol' fairy tale told in its original European form. 5/5 stars
Topic: I Saw the TV Glow
Ummm... what?? I was confused through the whole movie. I enjoy artsy films, but this was a little too artsy. The filming was gorgeous, but unfortunately that is the only positive I have for it. The acting was monotone, the storyline was confusing, and it was overall BORING. I don't recommend this movie, but if you want to see a slow paced psychological thriller, then I guess this is an option.

Wow wow wow! If you are a fan of body horror and practical effects, then this is the movie for you! If you are afraid of needles, blood, or toger forms of body horror, then I would recommend skipping this one. The Substance had my eyes glued to the screen the entire time. This movie has fantastic and creative ways to show how women and their bodies are treated by themselves and others (specifically men).
