In-Home Entertainment Recommendations
We all love sitting down and watching Netflix while we’re stuck in our houses during quarantine, but what are some other fun things we can watch and play? In this Theatre & Arts section, we’ll give you suggestions for what games to play, podcasts to listen to, and theatre to stream, as well as Netflix and Hulu recommendations.
Turner Classic Movies—A fun activity you might not have thought of is watching classic movies during the quarantine! Turner Classic Movies has a website where you can watch classic movies for free by logging in with your cable or satellite TV subscription. Movies are available both live and on demand, with on-demand selections like Wait Until Dark, The Creature from the Black Lagoon, and Some Like it Hot. On-demand movies come and go frequently, so if you want to see one, be sure to check when it leaves!
Podcast Recommendation: Outside/In—A podcast about the environment and how we interact with it. Available on Spotify.
Streaming Recommendation: Black Spot—A police inspector enters a mysterious mountain town where the murder rate is six times higher than the rest of the country. Available on Netflix.
Game Recommendation: Subnautica—A sprawling open-world survival game that lets you explore an endless ocean and see what lies in the depths. Available on Steam for PC for $24.99.
Theatre Recommendation: National Theatre at Home—Starting April 2nd, London’s National Theatre will release a full-length play free for streaming every Thursday at 1 p.m., CST. Each play will be free for a week, and then the theater will replace it with a new one. Available on Youtube.
