Murderbot is a perfect film
A couple months ago, my spouse and I sat down on a weekend to binge re-watch the whole debut season of Murderbot and it was really enjoyable. I think we got through 7 or 8 episodes before finishing the rest the next night. But fast-forwarding through all the recaps and title/credits screens for just 20min/episode got old, and I wondered if it'd be possible to cut all ten episodes into one continuous movie.
The total runtime of all ten episodes (without weekly recaps but with everything else included) combined is 4 hours, 17 minutes.
Today I imported all episodes into Final Cut Pro, then used the blade tool to cut out all the credit and title sequences, and ended up with a single film that was 3 hours, 52 minutes in total. That's a tad much for an action-packed film, but it's the type of thing that makes for a perfect two-night rewatch. Tackle the first half one night, then come back to it the next night.
And yes, I did it fast so there are a few jarring cuts, but I now have an entertaining-as-hell movie with zero interruptions. I even used a local version of whisper to create accurate subtitles that I baked back into the file.
This is going to be the perfect thing to watch on future cross-country flights once I get it onto my iPad.
Unfortunately, I can't really share the movie file here but any friends who already are connected to me on Plex can stream it from my server.
