\t\t\t\t<\/a>You might notice that we’ve added a boatload of older television shows this month. We’re in the process of filling in our television back-catalog, and the place to start has been Full House<\/i> and The Norm Show<\/i>. Look for much more classic television to join the collection in the coming weeks.<\/p>\n

We’ve also started adding many of this year’s Oscar nominees that are finally available. Sicario<\/i>, Spectre<\/i>, Straight Outta Compton<\/i>, and Best Picture winner Spotlight<\/i> are now available to check out. On the odder side of that coin, you can also watch The 100 Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out the Window and Disappeared<\/i>, the out-of-left-field Swedish comedy nominee for Best Makeup and Hairstyling.<\/p>\n

But for a local flavor, our recommendation of the month goes to Sweaty Betty<\/i>, an improvised movie about a  Hyattsville family and their 1000-pound pig. Indiewire<\/i> called it<\/a> “the rare discovery that’s bracingly original and down to earth in equal measures.”<\/p>\n

Hit the break to see what else is now available…
