Hello, Movie Mavens! Welcome back to the B Movies Blog. Today, we’re popping fictional streamer categories into the ol’ VCR.
Several years ago, there was an episode of @midnight w/ Chris Hardwick (f that guy) where the comedians du jour had to name “New Netflix Categories.”
Riki Lindholm pops off, “Keira Knightley Sobs in a Corset,” and I truly lost my mind.

That joke has stuck with me ever since, and, today, I’d like to throw out some new streamer categories of my own…with a twist.
I’m not just going to give you fake movie categories; I’m going to give you some movies that belong in said category.
Don’t say I never did anything for you.
(JK, it’s to justify my own jokes, so it’s 100% me, not you.)
