I'll bet no one's seen "Robinson Crusoe on Mars"

Dumb name for a sci-fi movie that's actually really good. I first saw this one ages ago and it still holds up quite well. I just discovered its streaming on Kanopy. Time for a rewatch!

That offer free movies, ebooks, emags, music, and more. They're available though most libraries. Just go to the sites and put in your library card number. Lots of great indie flicks! DM me if you need more info.
kanopy.com
hoopla.com

P.S. I noticed your Canadian flag. If you live in Canada, I don't think it's available to you.

Yes, it really was a black & white portable TV with a 5-inch screen. So you're saying it's better in color on a large screen?

And probably a few times more as a kid. My most vivid memory of the film is the scene where Crusoe is looking for food and comes across something that looked like kelp with greasy breakfast sausages all tangled up in it. The matinee audience all let out a loud “ulch!” upon seeing this.
