So I just stumbled across something called Occupation: Rainfall, which is SciFi, made in Australia, set in Australia etc etc, so it ticks a lot of boxes for me.
Apparently it is a sequel to Occupation, and regardless of how these things actually rated with reviewers, I feel like I’ve missed something by being unaware they even came out.

And this is almost certainly because I’ve made a concerted (and broadly successful) effort for over a decade to avoid ads.

How does everyone here find TV, Movies, Music etc that may be of interest to you?

Just turn on the idiot box and put up with the spew?

    For TV and film, I know what genres my partner and I enjoy so I just routinely check new releases within those parameters. There’s always a massive backlog available, too.

    I’ve mostly listened to Japanese doujin music for the last decade and compilation albums featuring multiple artists are very common within that scene. As I listen I just naturally discover new artists from year to year as they feature on these albums. And again, I know what genres I like so I am regularly searching for new releases.

    I am a big fan of self-curated music discovery compared to algorithm based stuff. There was a great scene in Vengeance where Ashton Kutcher’s character sort of explained this philosophy.
