How to discover new movies and shows without streaming services? (beehaw.org)

If you are cool like me, you have probably cancelled all mega-corp owned streaming services. While it is really nice managing my own media library like an adult instead of letting corpos decide arbitrarily what I can watch on a given day, that does mean I no longer have their input on new content. So I can obviously pick up on what shows and movies are hugely popular, but that's a very small fraction of what gets released and simply non-representative of what is out there waiting.

Since most search engines are rendered useless by AI spam and SEO chasers, you can't exactly just google "best goofball comedies" or you'll just end up with the same 10-15 lousy suggestions on repeat.

Where do you go to discover shows and movies?

The "new uploads" section of several torrent sites.
