watching Wild Green Yonder with a friend, me watching the movie on my Plex, them watching the version broken into episodes on Hulu.

i pulled Hulu up to make sure i stayed synced, and the Hulu version quickly pulled ahead of mine. i didn’t notice a missing scene but i wasn’t paying close attention to the Hulu version.

when Hulu auto-cycled to the next episode, even with outro and intro credits, it brought it back to sync with my version. we’re ⅓ through episode two, and Hulu is currently 14 seconds ahead, although we started this episode synced.

    Its common, here’s an example with seinfeld apparently its to increase ad time lol. Also I guess a lot of companies now are assuming people are gonna put the show as background noise, not as if you’re actually paying attention

      right but like, they were only broken up into episodes for streaming in the first place, they can make their ad breaks as long as they want
