Young Frankenstein is not available for streaming - eviltoast

And they wonder why we walk with a pegleg…

(And that “watch similar movies” thing can go to hell too)

ETA:

Jellyfin is great, yes.

    Looks like a 20th Century Fox production. Which Disney owns now, right? So why isn’t it streaming on Disney? Kind of pathetic.

      I think it’s either:

      • they have to pay residuals to the actors for every stream, and they’d rather not do that
      • not 100% sure if it applies in this situation, but somehow they can write off the value of media just by making it unavailable, which gives them a tax break
