Looks like it.

If you go by success. He's made three great movies.

Two.*

Whiplash didn’t make much but it did get a ton of oscar noms including a win for JK Simmons. First Man flopped all around, missing picture, direction and acting, plus it had a much larger budget.

That The Eddy did not make the TV chart is surprising.

Did Netflix try to hide it the same way it did with their Marvel shows? It is the 21st item under TV Shows sorted by Year Released. Does this happen to others here?

Could it be the French setting and language that were off-putting? Or was it the black and white poster? Netflix could be treating it as a foreign release so it did not get top priority in the NF US algorithm.

Yes it's not being marketed here as well

I think First Man will age well over time. Boomers are the main group that still has cable they should be into it when it comes on. It's also just a great movie that's underappreciated.

Crewwwwwwwwwsssssssss. Will it be able to come for that Numba One Spot? Ludacris has been looking to do for the last twenty years.

Movies:

1. John Henry
2. Sleepless
3. Becoming
4. Extraction
5. Den of Thieves
6. The House at the End of the Street
7. The Willoughbys
8. Dangerous Lies
9. Despicable Me
10. Arctic Dogs

Loving the resurgence of Extraction. And now we're getting a little bit of Jlaw too? Haven't seen the movie but Lawrence also deserves resurgence.

Ozark has returned to top 10 again. It has been a GREAT run for that series.

The filmed Hamilton "movie" is releasing on Disney+ on July 3rd.

Ozark has been showing some great legs. It has never dropped out of the TV Top 10 since the release of the new season.

5/12/20 - Extending Life

1. Dead To Me (=)
2. John Henry (+1)
3. Outer Banks (-1)
4. Sleepless (=)
5. Hollywood (=)
6. Grey's Anatomy (series, debut)
7. Ozark (+3)
8. Workin' Moms (+1)
9. Never Have I Ever (return)
10. The Last Kingdom (return)

Would love to believe that the Kimmy Schmidt interactive movie will make a dent on here tomorrow, but if she had that kind of drawing power the show would never have been cancelled in the first place.

Movies:

1. John Henry
2. Sleepless
3. Den of Thieves
4. The House at the End of the Street
5. Extraction
6. Becoming
7. Despicable Me
8. Have A Good Trip: Adventures In Psychedelics
9. The Willoughbys
10. Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa

That's so, like, trippy man, you know what I mean man? Yeah.

Gonna try out the Kimmy Schmidt thing probably this weekend.

Even among the fans I don't think the interactive gimmick would work for Kimmy though I do hope it finds new audience because of that

5/13/20 - Murder Hornets for America

1. Dead To Me (=)
2. John Henry (=)
3. Outer Banks (=)
4. Sleepless (=)
5. Have A Good Trip (movie, new)
6. Grey's Anatomy (=)
7. Trial By Media (series, new)
8. Hollywood (-3)
9. Ozark (-2)
10. The House at the End of the Street (movie, new)

Trial By Media seems trashy enough and conspiracy theories are very hot right now on the internet. Could it make a run??

Movies:

1. John Henry
2. Sleepless
3. Have A Good Trip: Adventures In Psychedelics
4. The House at the End of the Street
5. Den of Thieves
6. Despicable Me
7. Lockout
8. Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa
9. Extraction
10. The Willoughbys

I wanted to like Lockout but it was so try-hard. No Kimmy as expected, though being listen as both a movie and tv show might be affecting its placement on the lesser lists.

Dead to Me should have a great run

5/14/20 - Age Is Just A Number

1. Dead To Me (=)
2. The Wrong Missy (movie, new)
3. Outer Banks (=)
4. John Henry (-2)
5. Trial By Media (+2)
6. Have A Good Trip (-1)
7. Grey's Anatomy (-1)
8. Sleepless (-4)
9. Ozark (=)
10. Hollywood (-2)

Dead Like Me holds off the movie where David Spade must fend off the advances of a woman half his age. It also gains the second highest amount of days at #1 since we started keeping track (though it is likely that Spenser Confidential had around ten.)

Movies:

1. The Wrong Missy
2. John Henry
3. Have A Good Trip: Adventures In Psychedelics
4. Sleepless
5. The House at the End of the Street
6. Lockout
7. Despicable Me
8. The Willoughbys
9. Den of Thieves
10. Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa


The wrong kid died.

Ugh. Lauren Lapkus is great. I wish she was better than that.

Ouch at Kimmy not making top 10.

I think its TV vs Movie distinction that hurts its chances.

Ozark is the Titanic/Avatar of streaming viewership runs

Kimmy didn't even make TV top 10

It's gotta be because it's just a single long episode, right?

I have to imagine there's a hitch due to its format.

There is 80 minutes of material, but you could finish it in about 40 if you make all the "right" choices.

5/15/20 - Heart of Spade

1. The Wrong Missy (+1)
2. Dead To Me (-1)
3. Riverdale (series, new)
4. Outer Banks (-1)
5. John Henry (-1)
6. Trial By Media (-1)
7. Grey's Anatomy (-1)
8. Ozark (+1)
9. Have A Good Trip (-3)
10. Hollywood (=)

I feel like these CW shows are more popular on Netflix than the actual networks.

Movies:

1. The Wrong Missy
2. John Henry
3. Have A Good Trip: Adventures In Psychedelics
4. Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt v The Reverend
5. Sleepless
6. Lockout
7. The House at the End of the Street
8. Despicable Me
9. The Willoughbys
10. Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa

There we go. It is also #8 on the TV list. But it's 2020, so being a non-binary form of media is totally OK! It probably would have made the overall top ten without the confusion though.
