@Phangurl@tenforward.social thanks for letting me know! Disasters on colonial sleeper ships seems to be it’s very own SciFi subgenre. Perhaps I will run a poll… My preference would to be to kick off with a one time joint watch of the movie ***Per Aspera Ad Astra*** (2026) from Mainland China in collaboration with #KungFuSat and #ActionMatinee if their hosts are up for it. The movie takes place on a colonial sleeper ship which wakes up a sysadmin to check out the AI responsible for the virtual environments of the sleepers. A bit of Star Trek professionalism and holodeck malfunctions, the Matrix, and tributes to old HK action movies mixed in. It’s a fun ride but only available for streaming on Netflix. @thearkchat@fedigroups.social @SesameSquirrel@mastodon.social #cDrama #SciFi #ScienceFiction #Streaming #WatchParty

@AlsoPaisleyCat@tenforward.social @Phangurl@tenforward.social @thearkchat@fedigroups.social re: starting #TheArk's 3pm ET slot early one time during #KungFuSat (Sats 12-2pm ET) - a fundamental tenet of our #WatchParty is @MatthewTitus88@mastodon.social & I always select films available WITHOUT a paid service (YT, Tubi, etc.) You note PER ASPERA AD ASTRA (2026) is only available on Netflix, neither of us even have, so that's a no for KFS. I can't speak for @rsmon77@mastodon.social who hosts #ActionMatinee (Sats 2-4pm ET) and chooses his own content, currently THE EXPANSE.
