Okay, so you wanna watch The Many Saints of Newark? I get it. You've heard whispers, maybe seen a meme or two. But now you're asking the age-old question: where in the heck can I actually watch this thing?
Fear not, fellow seeker of slightly-morally-ambiguous entertainment! The hunt isn't *that* hard.
The Streaming Situation: Your Main Options
First things first: streaming is your friend. That's probably why you're even reading this, right? Who rents DVDs anymore? (Unpopular opinion: I kinda miss renting DVDs.)
HBO Max (Well, Max Now)
This one's pretty straightforward. The Many Saints of Newark lives (or has lived, depending on when you're reading this) on Max (formerly HBO Max). It's its natural habitat, considering it's an HBO film. Check there first!
Worth remembering that streaming rights can shift more than a politician's stance on a hot topic. Double-check before you commit to a whole subscription.
VOD: Rent or Buy?
Don't have Max? No problem! You can usually find The Many Saints of Newark available to rent or buy on various Video-On-Demand (VOD) platforms.
Think Amazon Prime Video, Apple TV, Google Play Movies, Vudu…the usual suspects. Just search for the title and see what your options are.
Renting is cheaper, obviously. But buying means you own it forever! (Or at least until the platform goes belly-up. Digital ownership is a funny thing.)
The Unconventional Options (Maybe...)
Alright, let's get a little creative. I'm not endorsing anything illegal here, but let's just say…the internet is a vast and mysterious place. *Ahem.*
Check your local library. Libraries often have streaming services available for free with your library card. You may get lucky!
The Physical Media Possibility
Okay, I know I made fun of DVDs earlier, but hear me out. Remember those shiny discs? Believe it or not, they still exist! You might find The Many Saints of Newark on DVD or Blu-ray.
Used bookstores, eBay, maybe even your grandma's attic…you never know where a copy might be lurking. Plus, the picture quality is probably as good as many of the streaming services on a standard TV.
Unpopular opinion number two: physical media is superior to streaming, and I'll die on that hill!
Final Thoughts: Enjoy the Show!
Seriously, happy viewing! The Many Saints of Newark has its fans and its detractors. But hopefully you find some entertainment there.
Whether you're team Dickie Moltisanti or not, remember to grab some snacks, dim the lights, and try not to think too much about the moral implications of rooting for mobsters.
And if all else fails? Just rewatch *The Sopranos*. It's pretty much always a good idea.
