@ajhill_alan You want me to list the Netflix catalog? They kinda have a website that does that.
@twiddlekins Sam, why do you even know this? twitter.com/Sam_Hickey/sta…
Under “Titles related to: Fail-Safe” Netflix suggests “Star Trek: Voyager”, “Schindler’s List”, and Eddie Murphy’s “Coming to America”.
They remade “The Day the Earth Stood Still” with Keanu Reeves? I assume he plays the blank-faced robot.
