Today's episode is a pilot episode. We're going to pitch it to Sundance. Yes, the festival. Please give us a Sunny Award! Plus: Netflix makes a pilot for the first time; Amazon Studios doesn't know what it wants; and NPR quits Twitter.
Episode 206 - They Overpaid
This was supposed to be a mixed episode that had the interview with Flula Borg. THINGS HAVE CHANGED. That interview now lives on its own and probably came out before this episode of this stupid show. Plus: AMAZON buys MGM STUDIOS; broadcast networks want to charge broadcast prices from streaming ad revenue; and those same networks rely on franchises as opposed to new ideas.
Episode 97 - Daddy Bezos
Big things are happening and Chad's back recording in the car. Only one of those is true. Do you like movies? Because this whole episode is about movies. Most of it any way. Our boy covers the whole, terrible JUSSIE SMOLLETT situation; the ACADEMY's tumultuous road through the 2019 award season; and how head of AMAZON STUDIOS JENNIFER SALKE plans on making the video service number one.
