As a Michigan fan, I get not wanting to watch any more football after a Michigan loss. As an actual coach, I figure it's the same deal, only a billion times more, so I feel for that.

Terry Saban: “Do you want to watch the other football game?’’

Nick Saban: “Not really.’’

Terry Saban: “OK, let’s watch Netflix.’’

Terry Saban explained she and Nick have been watching a foreign film. “It’s Turkish or something,’’ she said, adding that having to read the subtitles would be helpful for her husband.

I'm honestly dying to know what "Turkish or something" film Nick Saban and his wife were watching.

I think Nick immediately switched to his offseason job of running his several other businesses. I think he has 11 car dealerships or something and a bunch of other stuff.

think of Jokic’s comments after Denver won. This is a job, coaches aren’t necessarily fans. Also, They got families who they likely havent seen in 5 months.

So, my wife is Turkish, and I can say that there is a pretty sizable collection of Turkish film and television stuff on Netflix. We've watched a few contemporary films (one about an arrogant violinist having to learn to be a good person by having to welcome in a long-lost niece, that we found to be awfully cheesy) and some costume drama/soap opera type things.

How dare you besmirch the name of "ROADHOUSE"!?  Yes, I put it in all caps because that's what it deserves.  The brilliance of a 30 year old Sam Elliott playing a 60 year old tragic hero.  Kelly Lynch, stunning in that dress she made from a tablecloth and totally believable as a doctor.  The otherworldly fitness and grace of Swayze, combined with a personality that's half murderous psycho and half zen master (Murderzen?).  The deeply nuanced and multifaceted villain played by that one guy.  

I am so offended, so deeply scandalized by your slander, that I did the unthinkable.  I gave you a downvote.  May it sting with the pain of a thousand broken beer glasses, or the knife in that guys boot.

It was real bad. We're both musicians, so definitely have trouble watching music movies (like, movies where music is an important part of the plot, as opposed to musicals) since they get so many details so wrong so often. My favorite was how, in all of the wide shots, the violinist was clearly not playing anything- he'd barely even been coached on how to play a violin. But then they'd cut to a closeup of 'his' hands, but the violin hand model didn't look anything like the actor playing the part. It was definitely good for a laugh.

Wife is not Turkish but has watched at least one ep for almost very foreign procedural show on Netflix and apparently there's this Turkish one about a cop in Istanbul (name escapes me) and each season is like 100+ episodes each.  Like, I'm sure you can kinda rubber stamp those out, but... how the hell do you even have that much time to make that much TV???

It's become a thing too. It's a combination of factors: louder sound effects and movies, soft or mumbly acting styles, the fact that the actors and directors and sound guys and editors have the scripts and know what is being said, we the audience don't.
One thing to do is make sure you are not using the 5.1 surround sound setting unless that is the listening setup and environment you actually have.

My guess is "Kedi," the documentary about cats in Istanbul. If you like cats and cool locations plus a little history, it's a great film.
