Starz Streaming 2024



During 2023's September and October, I kept seeing ads for Starz annual plan. Sometimes it was $60, sometimes $50, and less occasionally, $40. I guess I got mentally tricked as I saw the price go down from $60 to $40 that I decided to go for it.

Boy, did I make a bad decision. I have barely watched the $3.33 a month worth of stuff. I got it really for John Wick 4, but that is the only thing I have finished. That’s it. All the rest, I start and lose interest.

I also think the Starz content isn’t as geared towards my demographic. Very little Asian stuff. John Wick may have been the most.

When the renewal came up, I went to cancel and was given the option of another year at $39.99 versus the regular price of $69.99. I passed and cancelled. I still got a couple of weeks left, but after some time scrolling recently, I have watched nothing there.

HBO Max Streaming - 2024



During 2023 Black Friday, HBO ran a 2.99 with ads for 6 months special. I decide to get it.

I started a few anime series and watched a few movies. Maybe 3 out of the 6 months, I got more than $2.99 worth of watching it. There were months I didn't even check.

I also did not like ads. But during the subscription, they started these long ads in front of movies which helped movies cut down on ads. I noticed many other streamers do the same now.

I think they knew for the 6 month people, they would need to renew to finish the 2nd season of House of Dragons which started 1-2 weeks during all the 6 month people's end date. Renewal to watch to the end. Good stategy. I didn't go for it and cancelled. I didn't care much for the 1st episode and didn't draw me to in to keep the subscription.

With Black Friday about 2+ months away, I will have to work on self control and not get sucked into these deals again.

2024-2025 NFL Predictions



McVay starts his eighth season as the Head Coach of my favorite team, the Los Angeles Rams. The previous season, I had high hopes for the team and they made the playoffs. Unfortunately, they fell to the Lions in the first round. This season, they will not get stopped by the Lions. I still believe the Rams will make and win the Super Bowl every year. This year is no different.

Without further ado, here are my predictions for the 2024-2025 NFL football season.
