Gannan Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 Just recently got this one. I had dumped HBO after GoT ended. I'm really enjoying it so far. Watched "The Plot to Destroy America" and now watching "Lovecraft Country". Lovecraft country is the best show streaming right now imo. Historical, but totally creepy and bizarre as well. Anyone else watching it? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeanMeanGM Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 Side question, wtf is HBO max? Is it just a streaming service? If I’m getting HBO through cable will I eventually need HBO max? Also is Max cheaper if I cancel HBO while still getting the same content? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t have cable but you probably get about half the content available through Hbo on cable I’d imagine, most of it if you add Cinemax. There seems to be some random additional content. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting. So you get all the same content HBO wise when shows air? I’ll definitely have to look into this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wholesale_Melvin Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 with Hulu & HBO Max, i pay about $20 monthly. That's about $150 cheaper to channel surf (but you do lose out on the channels geared to being just a commercial). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gannan Posted August 26, 2020 Author Share Posted August 26, 2020 Watched "Richard Jewell" last night. Clint Eastwood always makes great films, and damn this one was good. I was in highschool when the bombing happened and didn;t know his story. It was a really compelling story and the acting was top notch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was actually my idea first but I didn't jump on it fast enough. Spoiler Black family leaves to find dude's dad, but along the way they run into racial injustice and 50-eyed monsters that have zombie-like abilities. The only way to stop these racially charged monsters if for the MLB to stop blackballing Jackie Robinson. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
