It’s almost the weekend, and that means you should book in another Gizmodo movie night. This week, it’s a return to the grunge era — filled with oh-so-edgy dialogue over teenybopper post-punk soundtracks. Sit back, relax, and remember (or discover) the era that gave us Quentin Tarantino, coming-of-age Winona Ryder and of course, Daria.
We’ve re-jigged our existing Netflix Movie Night series, and brought in Australia’s other popular subscription video on demand services — Stan and Presto — to give you a broader selection of movies and TV shows to enjoy. On all three services, you can watch from your tablet or smartphone, on your PC or laptop, through your Smart TV, or through a media streaming dongle like the Google Chromecast, although specifics can vary.
Stan costs a flat $10 per month, Netflix can cost from $9 to $15 per month, and Presto is $10 to $15 depending which package you choose.
