Of course, the comments are filled with people who joke that they do this all the time already, for free. Actually, I don’t think they’re joking. I think I’ve nearly done this before as well. You start watching one, then another one starts, and then they suggest another one. Before you know it, you’re through a bag of Cheetos and you know how many people Ed Gein murdered and could list all of his human skin furniture.
