    Yeah I get this on the Disney+ app on the PS5 (used to get it on the PS4 as well).

    No issues with the app on other devices.

    Assumed as much when Josh Peck was cast in How I Met Your Father. Was an enjoyable series with the main story wrapped up



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 33,306 ✭✭✭✭gmisk


    I see die hard is on Disney plus hurrah



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,286 ✭✭✭✭CastorTroy


    Guess that means they won't even have to bother adding any other Christmas film.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 33,306 ✭✭✭✭gmisk


    In fairness they have some essentials Muppet Christmas carol, home alone 1 and 2



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,286 ✭✭✭✭CastorTroy


    Yep. If they had Elf and Scrooged, they'd probably be sorted

    Was kind of hoping it might have been put up over Christmas or New Year. Managed to catch it before it left local cinema anyway.

    Regarding Muppet Christmas Carol, the long sought after The Love is Gone song is available in the extras tab as a deleted scene and it was reported last year that they are working on putting the scene back into the movie for the 30th anniversary version.

    Caught the first episode and thought it was good. I'll stick with it.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,756 ✭✭✭Thecageyone


    It's pretty good, I'm up to episode 6 now. Crazy to think how readily available strong doses of Oxyconton were in the States back then, you have to be near dying over here to be put on anything close to as strong as the lightest dose over here.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 33,306 ✭✭✭✭gmisk


    Rons gone wrong added....very fun little family film!



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,250 ✭✭✭✭flazio


    Clever little algorithms on the app. Royal Tenebaums gets a mention in Hawkeye, comes up as a Star Highlight when I return to the home screen.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 905 ✭✭✭whatawaster81


    I'm thinking of treating myself to this as a Christmas present but I'm not sure if I should get Apple tv instead.

    Heavy Netflix and Amazon user

    Can anyone recommend which is better?



  • Registered Users Posts: 6,793 ✭✭✭FunLover18


    Disney+ has a a lot more to offer than Apple TV which only really has a handful of series and movies.

    Great. Thanks for letting me know. I'd be hoping to get a good bit of use from it so that should inform my choice.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,250 ✭✭✭✭flazio


    I think for Christmas content Disney+ is the winner this year. (Although Last Christmas and Klaus can't be discounted on Netflix) Amazon is hard to navigate.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 905 ✭✭✭whatawaster81


    Cool. Thanks. That's 2 votes for Disney. Seems to be the better option.



  • Registered Users Posts: 193 ✭✭setanta1000


    I had both Apple and Disney and Disney wins hands down in terms of volume of content and quality of content. One of the other biggest issues I have with Apple is that it is more of a pay for video channel rather than a video streaming site.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 905 ✭✭✭whatawaster81


    Cheers for that. Yeah that should steal the deal. I was planning on getting it for the year so I'd be looking for enough content to keep me entertained.

    Watched Ron's Gone Wrong yesterday, really enjoyed the first hour but the final third is a mess and completely drags. I know it's a kids movie but the logic regarding servers and code nearly made my eyes roll out of my head.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 33,306 ✭✭✭✭gmisk


    The new Disney film encanto is on Disney+ now, it is fun looks lovely and some very solid tunes.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,968 ✭✭✭Nigzcurran


    The rescue is absolutely superb tv and I highly recommend it



  • Registered Users Posts: 1,566 ✭✭✭Need a Username


    Does the GroupWatch work between AppleTVs?

    What I mean is do start a GroupWatch for Boba Fett on my AppleTV, I use my iPhone to invite another and that person can accept on their AppleTV - then I start the stream on my AppleTV and it starts for all other members at the same time?

    is that how it works?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 45,630 ✭✭✭✭Mr.Nice Guy


    I finished Dopesick. Excellent series. Michael Keaton puts in a great performance.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,068 ✭✭✭✭Tom Mann Centuria


    Yeah, anyone can pause it too. I tried it when it first came out and for whatever reason I got a lot of stuttering/pausing. I was the only one and it definitely wasn't my connection speed so didn't bother with it again.

    Oh well, give me an easy life and a peaceful death.



  • Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 24,118 Mod ✭✭✭✭robinph


    Group Watch...why?


    What is the point of it? Surely watching a TV show is a solo activity where you want to give it your full attention not be having it disrupted by other people somewhere else pausing your viewing or chatting over the top of it. What is the benefit, other than distracting you from something that you must clearly be bored of it wanting to interact remotely with people at the same time?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 33,306 ✭✭✭✭gmisk


    I am two episodes in and really enjoying it.

    I would recommend the John Oliver episode about purdue, absolute scumbags, the sacklers are vile



  • Registered Users Posts: 6,793 ✭✭✭FunLover18


    Well with Covid and lockdowns it came in very handy for watching something with someone you couldn't be with in person. I have a friend in Spain and we watch the Marvel shows together on groupwatch and discuss after, it's not at all disruptive. I wouldn't do it with someone who didn't have any interest in actually watching the show/movie.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,756 ✭✭✭Thecageyone


    I think it's a nice idea, to watch something with friends/family who live far away - perfectly normal to watch shows with family at home so why is it any stranger to watch with them online? I've seen group watch sessions on twitch even, where the streamer plays a movie and all their followers can watch along with and discuss it after.

    Thanks for those responses. So what actually happens during the watching then, or is it just a synchronised start time and a group chat room afterwards?



  • Registered Users Posts: 6,793 ✭✭✭FunLover18


    We literally just watch it and it's synchronized so we know neither one of us is ahead or behind. It's the same as watching something with someone in person, if one of you needs to go to the loo or get snacks or has a question, you pause it. I usually call my Spanish friend on discord so we can actually talk because I find the group chat feature too distracting.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,250 ✭✭✭✭flazio


    Watched Guardians of the Galaxy and Black Widow in their IMAX enhanced versions. Even if you don't have a massive 4K Home cinema, it's well worth watching this way on any size wide screen TV as the black bars get removed on any action scenes.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,867 ✭✭✭Pentecost


    I signed up for D+ just a few weeks ago. Plenty to enjoy with all the Marvel and Star Wars stuff. I've actually started watching Alias for the first time, never got around to watching it when it was first on. Very enjoyable show and Jennifer Garner dressing up in sexy disguises most episodes certainly doesn't hurt I have to say.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,308 ✭✭✭✭Dodge


    “Surely watching a TV show is a solo activity” is a pretty broad, and I’d say incorrect for the majority of people, statement there.

    My daughter and her cousins/friends often use group watch. The shared experience for them is way more important than the content



  • Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 24,118 Mod ✭✭✭✭robinph


    Well not solo so much as in a single location.


    Watching something with others in the same physical location where you can more directly interact with each other, laugh at the same things, be surprised at the same things etc as the show happens I totally get.

    Expressing those reactions 10 seconds later by sending a smiley face gif to someone on the other side of the world seems to be a bit slow and would just distract from where the show has then moved onto already.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,308 ✭✭✭✭Dodge


    I mean that’s a world away from “solo activity” where you’re giving your full attention to the screen

    Either way, some use it to connect with people they don’t live it/can’t be in the same room as. So it’s good they have that option



  • Registered Users Posts: 1,566 ✭✭✭Need a Username


    Pleasantly surprised by The Great North as most animated “comedies” drag the gutter for laughs.

    But this is very funny and also very sweet (which is not a word I use often).



  • Registered Users Posts: 1,566 ✭✭✭Need a Username


    Also watched two episodes of The Salisbury Poisoning.

    I’m guessing they added a bit more to Ann Marie Duffy’s character part in it all for the sake of drama but how it showed events was interesting.

    After the second episode I’m guessing Nick Bailey and his wife are not being accurately portrayed. Neither one thought something was seriously wrong with him and worse the wife’s reaction to the police telling her they need to test the house is stereotypical of a lot of characters in outbreak movies and series were she behaves so stupidly.

    i knew nothing about Sturgess and Rowley. And I don’t remember a second wave.

    Are An Affair to Remember and the Sound of Music the only “old movies” from the Fox catalogue on Disney+ here?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,563 ✭✭✭✭peteeeed


    Eternals added



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 48,254 ✭✭✭✭km79


    I started Mr Inbetween last night and it’s very good

    Its like an Aussie version of Mike from Breaking Bad/Better Call Saul



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,968 ✭✭✭Nigzcurran


    we are absolutely addicted to Malcolm in the middle! Brilliant hilarious stuff



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,250 ✭✭✭✭flazio


    I meant to say last week it raised my eyebrow when "Dollhouse" turned up. Fair enough about Firefly, Buffy and Angel being Star launch titles, big fan favourites, but Dollhouse was one of Whedons more controversial projects if I remember correctly (and didn't last long) and now considering the small tarnish on his reputation I'd have thought D+ might have wanted to bury that show in a vault.



  • Registered Users Posts: 1,566 ✭✭✭Need a Username


    It is one of their properties so they may as well use it.

    Josh Whedon isn’t in the news and I don’t think his problems made much of a splash at the time

    i don’t remember Dollhouse being controversial ? What is the story there?

    Basically a bunch of fit young things kept in a sort of stoned out state in the Doll house,reprogrammed and rented out to rich folks for various reasons including escort services and getting their memories reset once returned.



  • Registered Users Posts: 1,566 ✭✭✭Need a Username


    No “by what is story” I meant what was the controversy.

    I know what the show was about ;)



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,250 ✭✭✭✭flazio


    Yet. Shang Chi was vanilla when it first came out but the extras were added a few weeks later. (After the DVD release)



  • Registered Users Posts: 1,566 ✭✭✭Need a Username


    That is another surprise

    you would think they’d have a few of the extras at least for subscribers to see first
