Due to the coronavirus pandemic, all forms of entertainment like movie theaters, bars, clubs have been shuttered. So trying to find ways to keep yourself entertained while in self-isolation is a challenge. But there is hope thanks to new hack that allows for movie night but with a social distancing twist.
Tuesday, a new Google Chrome extension called Netflix Party was all the talk of social media. The “hack” allows for multiple people to connect and remotely watch Netlfix programming while having chat conversations.
PSA: If you want to still have movie night with friends without risking COVID-19 spread, Chrome has an extension called Netflix Party that allows you to simultaneously stream Netflix with friends. It has a chat window & play/pauses for everyone in the group so you stay synced.

The extension is free 99 and can be downloaded by heading to the Netflix Party website. Once you and all you’re social distancing buddies have it, all you gotta do is select the movie, or Netflix show, click the Netflix Party icon and send out the link that is generated those who want to tune in.
Here is how the website explains the tool:
Netflix Party is a new way to watch Netflix with your friends online. Netflix Party synchronizes video playback and adds group chat to your favorite Netflix shows.
Join over 500,000 people and use Netflix Party to link up with friends and host long-distance movie nights and TV watch parties today!
This is definitely necessary, mainly to keep the kids and young adults inside and safe from the coronavirus. If you need a visual tutorial of how to get your movie night started using Netflix Party, one user took the liberty of making a TikTok video breaking the process down.

Tigger: you don’t HAVE to tell me if you don’t want
Me: no.. It’s. Uh.
Me, trying desperately to figure out how to say that I was 1000% too young the last time I read this book and was utterly unprepared for the depravity and the way that Will Henry falls but also how he was driven to it out of love and how Pellinore told him never to love but how it was too late for both of them and how Pellinore was never allowed to be a child or even really an adult himself so of course he does a bad job with Will Henry and also how everything about the snake is the world’s most tragic shit and also SAME RICK Will Henry betrayed us all except he didn’t cause it’s all right there and he just LOVES so much and so deeply except that maybe he DID but even then who is Will Henry except that THAT doesn’t matter cause even if Will Henry has no one he has everyone and it’s awful and there is no ball OR plate there’s just the awful microcosm of looking into the night and hoping it doesn’t look back and trying to hide yourself in the light of good decisions when every option you have is wrong it’s a TRAGEDY in every generation: it was a thinker, is all

Tigger: “I’ve decided I’ll be happy in jail. I’ll just read and write all the time.”
Me: “oh… kay. Sure.”
Me, five minutes later: “you HATE reading. You HATE writing.”
Tigger: “I’m gonna try writing something new-“
Me: “You only write under duress.”
Tigger: “-maybe I’ll try fiction”
Me: “You hate fiction.”
Tigger:
Me:
Tigger: “so anyway I’ve decided I’ll be happy in jail.”

@orchidscript ever wanna not talk to 1000 old ladies at work so instead you listen to 32 grinch songs to cope and power rank them? i do, let’s go:
Thurl Ravenscroft cause there ain’t nothin’ like an angry tiger absolutely ripping his ex apart
Big Bad Voodoo Daddy sounds like something the couple would duet at the beginning of an enemies to lovers musical romcom
Lindsey Stirling has finally made something I want to listen to while I do a heist
Darius Rucker is definitely the only person since Thurl to nail the timing on the 39 1/2-foot pole
Preservation Hall Jazz Band made the first song I’ve ever heard that sounds so genuinely like a girl unbelievably disgusted by her ex
Ceelo Green is bringing the exact level of admiration I wanted from the Jim Carrey version
John Cullum and co. are living in the alternate timeline I crave, where Grinch hears Tony’s song and becomes more evil because of it
Ian Munsick... that guitar, though...
Hunter Brothers made a sexy one but in a relaxing way. These men have been living with their attraction to the Grinch for years and they’re okay with it
Funny Bunny Team needs to stop trying to be Thurl, it’s never gonna happen
Kidz Bop is objectively fine but like, y’all’re kids. Shush.
Danny Worsnop I think is just Jeffrey Tambor’s internal monologue through that whole movie
Deanna Kirk is really running that horniness train and I was totally on board until the breakdown
Newsong... fuck, bro
Glee (ft. k.d. lang) is only raised above inoffensiveness because the Grinch is genderfluid. Good for her.
Pentatonix is, as usual, inoffensive if you like musical theatre
Small Town Titans was D O I N G it for me with the guitar but some of the high notes are very questionable
Take 6 are all amazing singers but honestly the storyline overshadowed the music
Jim Carrey has skills that can’t be overstated but listen. hey, jim. listen. if you’re gonna sing this in character as the Grinch, you’re gonna have to be more proud of yourself
Thurl & Boris is WONDERFUL but it simply isn’t a song. it’s a clip from the movie
EARCANDY is genuinely inoffensive but I just want more bass in my acapella sorry
Voctave needs to learn that a deep voice does not a villain make
Brian Setzer is like a half note off from being ideal
Andrea DeLadurantey is gender-swapped with Nightmare before Christmas
The Robertson’s should DEFINITELY be lower. I WANT it to be lower. Unfortunately, the tonelessness and lisp are oddly endearing
Misfits have the world’s most insane pacing but if someone said “you’re a bad banana” to me like that, I would be delighted
Tyler, the Creator is too cool for the Grinch. This song is too cool. Also I just can’t with the child choir
Straight no Chaser PLEASE STOP MAKING THE GRINCH COOL AND EMO HE’S A DIPSHIT DORKUS
Jordan Smith is SO CLOSE to being inoffensive
Aimee Mann is just another Halloween-sona
VoicePlay... hhh. To heal yourself after this, please go listen to Home Free’s “Ring of Fire”
Nashville Cast genuinely made me want to crawl out of my own skin
