The Netflix October Release Schedule Is Filled with Florence Pugh, Ben Affleck, and Lots of Comedy

It's officially Spooky Season, and Netflix has...gone a bit light on the spookies.

Sure, there's some choice Mike Flanagan with Ouija: Origin of Evil and the excellent Hush — plus movies like The Sixth Sense, Crimson Peak, Red Dragon, 2013's Evil Dead, three Psychos (you can skip 3 but don't sleep on 2), and even The Menu — but mostly October is about comedy documentaries!

It records your game, and then lets you use its deep learning (technically not AI, I know) to figure out the best clips and splice them together for you. It looked pretty neat, from what they showed me, but I've just tried it in Counter-Strike and hoo boy does it have a way to go.
