Ah, man, it’s on Apple TV. Well, maybe it’ll cross over to one of the other streamers I have eventually. Probably not, but one can hope.

Unfortunately, it seems like except for the case of services owned by one company (Disney+, Hulu, ABC), if you want something on a service you don’t subscribe to, you have to subscribe to it or wait for DVDS or pirate it… It’s stupid state of affairs, as streamers could increase their profits by allowing other services to carry their content after they premier.

Interesting that this came up while I’m just in the middle of reading Michael Flynn’s Firestar saga.

The latest episode of the Science Rules! with Bill Nye podcast is a discussion of the movie with Werner Herzog and Clive Oppenheimer. It is, as with anything that involves Herzog, a complete delight.

Please, please let him say “This. Is a meteor crater. It is a spyglass into pre-. History.”
