Where do you get your subtitles from? (sh.itjust.works)

Any tips for finding subtitles TV shows and movies? There´s databases out there, but they don't seem to have what I'm looking for.

Transcription is obviously better than subtitles. AI is a possibility to transcribe; I've experimented with local models and had poor results. Professional AI services are good, but I am extremely broke.

For various reasons, I prefer to d/l my stuff and watch it on jellyfin. I know if I were streaming my life would be easier in some ways.

Current target is Lastman (2016) in French.

Good French dubs/subs are really fucking hard to get for some fucking reason. Even on the streaming services, including Crave (Canadian), French language options are a mess.
