There's friends of the show that have been on the show that they pay every month. That's something like 15 bucks or 15 quid. It's called something like YouTube Red or Red Tube. Red Tube, I think is actually a porn site. Yeah, I don't think it's called that. I don't know where you're handing out. No, I think it's just YouTube without ads. Okay. All right.

Anyway, the thing is I don't like YouTube stopping me from blocking its ads. Right. But more than that, I don't like the way YouTube tracks what I watch and collect information and then send me down some rabbit hole of suggesting conspiracy story videos or whatever it may be. I just don't like it doing all that. So I've been looking for alternatives to YouTube. Now, the thing is YouTube is the Google, well, it literally is the Google of videos, isn't it? The clues in who owns YouTube. It is the search engine for videos. Right. So if you're looking for a video, you are going to go to YouTube rather than Vimeo or Daily Motion or one of those other ones. So you can't really go to an alternative one. However, I have found a desktop app for YouTube, which cuts out all the ads, doesn't do any tracking, doesn't give YouTube any information. It allows you to use YouTube much more privately. And it's called free tube. And how much information does it get off you to in order to do this wonderful job? It says it isn't grabbing anything. It says all your user data is stored locally. It's never sent or published to the internet. Did you read the teas and sees? Well, I'm not sure why it's other than me. It's been around for years. I've said that it's quite legit. It's open source. So I hope one person at least that's the thing with open source, isn't it? There's all that. Or you can all check the source code. Yes, but does anyone ever look at it? But anyway, free tube is a YouTube client for Windows, Mac and Linux. You can import your existing subscriptions. You can check out YouTube videos without having to go to YouTube the site, which is a much more pleasant experience. So free tube links in the show notes is my pick of the week. Dared it. But

it's illegal. What do you mean? It's like you're basically stealing content, aren't

you? Oh, am I? What? I don't know. Well, I don't know. I think it's arguably ethically speaking. Well, then I think YouTube should take action against free tube. Okay, great. You're getting us into dodgy ethical areas here. I don't know. I'm not a

lawyer, Crow. You sound defensive. That's all I'm saying. Crow, what's

your pick of the week?

Well, this past September, four new short films from the celebrated filmmaker, Wes Anderson hit Netflix. Oh, because it's 14 years after he brought a fantastic Mr. Fox to life. And he is back on Netflix with another raw doll adaptation, or rather four of them. The world premiere of the wonderful story of Henry Sugar aired at the Venice International Film Festival. And Anderson brings along three other films, the Swan, the Rat Catcher and Poison. Have you seen any of

them? Oh, dear Crow, I think we might have a disagreement on our hands. Oh, because I have seen the Henry Sugar version. Uh-huh.

Let's put it

this way. I liked it about as much as Dave Bitner enjoyed licorice pizza. Oh, my God. Really?

See, I

remember the Henry Sugar story from when I was a kid. So do I. I had the book. I liked it. Look, with all the short stories, loved it. I loved that. Yeah. Loved all that. And then I thought, oh, it popped up on Netflix. And I watched it. And I thought, God, this is irritating. Didn't like the style of it at all. Didn't enjoy it. Too clever clever for its own good,

I thought.
