If you ever wondered what would happen if fake movies and TV shows like Threat Level Midnight and Sick, Sad World had their own streaming service, I have some good news for you. While you still cannot watch these made-up movies and shows (for the obvious reason of them not really existing), Nestflix helps fill the void slightly by creating a website where you can browse through all the shows, and movies you wish were real.
Created by web designer Lynn Fisher, Nestflix is a parody of Netflix. As Fisher describes it, the site is a "wiki doing some cosplay," but upon entering the website, you would be impressed with how much the website has to offer. It is extremely detailed – even offering a synopsis of the title, stills, and where your chosen fictional content originally appeared.
This website is perfect for shows like Rick and Morty, where episodes such as Interdimensional Cable created fake movies and shows such as How They Do It..., Baby Legs, and The Adventures of Stealy. All of those were throwaway gags created for the show, but now have a home where you can read the descriptions and more. It even houses classics like Angels with Filthy Souls; you know, that one movie that appears in Home Alone that we've all probably quoted at least once in our lives. And yes, the sequel is here, too.
The website launched yesterday and offers more than 400 entries. But that number will surely grow over time as the website offers a submission button where you can contribute to any made-up shows or movies that are missing from Nestflix.
In real Netflix news, it's looking like the company is moving into the gaming arena, and could have a partnership with PlayStation in the works.
