A Netflix parody website called Nestflix teases a collection of fictional movies and television shows. Netflix was initially founded in 1997 by Reed Hastings and Marc Randolph. To compete with in-store DVD rental companies like Blockbuster, the company offered the ability to rent movies through the mail. However, they ultimately changed their business model to provide customers with streaming movies and television shows from their own homes. They have become well-known for acquiring content as well as making their own Netflix originals.
There has been a battle between the streaming services ever since more and more competition has entered the field to cut into Netflix's business. Other streaming platforms include Amazon Prime Video, Hulu, HBO Max, Apple TV+, Disney+, among others. Due to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, some major film studios have opted to release their big film titles either exclusively on their streaming service or day-and-date with the theatrical release. Warner Bros. has put all 2021 titles such as Mortal Kombat and The Suicide Squad on HBO Max the same day they hit theaters. Meanwhile, Disney has allowed prominent properties, including Black Widow and Jungle Cruise day-and-date in theaters and on Disney+, but at $30 a pop on top of the subscription cost.
A website has appeared for a fake streaming service called Nestflix, which offers an extensive catalog of fake shows and movies. They're all based on existing properties of fake titles that exist within their respective fictional film or TV world. The homepage boasts over 400 stories on the website. By clicking on a thumbnail, it lists a synopsis and where the fictional movie or television show originated from.
There seems to be a new streaming service platform hitting the market incredibly frequently. Nestflix is an excellent Netflix parody site that's also clearly visually influenced by some of the other streaming services, as well. Plenty of movies and shows have shown little clips or posters for fake movies and television shows, but Nestflix takes it further. It brings many of these titles all into one place, along with where they were referenced. It fills in some of the details that one would expect to find upon clicking on a Netflix title to learn more about it before deciding to watch it.
Unfortunately, Nestflix isn't a real streaming service, but odds are, if it were, it could rack up some interested subscribers. There have been so many fictional movies and television shows teased that audiences have said they would watch if they were real. After all, a similar situation happened with Machete, which ended up getting made based on a fake movie trailer in Grindhouse. There are a lot of good laughs to be had exploring the Nestflix site. Some will be familiar, such as Good Will Hunting 2: Hunting Season, while others may not instantly be recognizable. Nestflix is undoubtedly worth taking some time to scroll through.
