This week Friend of the Pod, Dave, shared an article with us about how streamers are over-feeding and starving audiences at the same time. There's so much out there, but none of it is that great. Bill asks, if the streaming services went back to the old model of releasing the big movies in the summer, fall, holiday season, Oscar season, etc. where they put their budgets into a big blockbuster kind of movie vs spreading budgets for a larger variety of mediocre crap, would that make a difference and would audiences respond to that better? This would include moving all new TV series to the fall premieres like they used to when there was only network television. What do you think? Would that be better than the constant release of crap? How do you find out about new and upcoming shows when there are so many things and so many streaming services? We've also got 3 short reviews for you this week.
