Send us Fan MailAngelo, Rhea, and Jay are back — and this week they pull Philly sports legend Glen MacNow into the chair for an episode built on a genuinely scary idea: the shows and movies you love can just… disappear. They lead with the number Netflix would rather bury: its biggest hits are hemorrhaging 30 to 70 percent of their audience by season two. Beef won a pile of Emmys and then lost 70% of its viewers. A Good Girl's Guide to Murder dropped 80%. The theory? Netflix trained us to binge a season in a weekend, wait two years, and stop caring. Glen and Rhea will die on the binge hill; Angelo wants his TV doled out week to week so audiences actually stay invested.THEN: Cocoon, the 1985 Ron Howard movie that won Don Ameche an Oscar, has vanished. You can't stream it, you can't buy it, the out-of-print DVD is going for hundreds of dollars, and your only real move is Amazon Japan with a VPN. The culprit is music rights nobody will license, even though the rights holders earn exactly zero dollars leaving it locked in a vault. Angelo makes the wild case that scarcity is actually GOOD!  He drags Hitchcock deliberately embargoing Rear Window into it, while Glen and Rhea argue everything should be available to everyone. Who's right?ALL THAT PLUS: Sony just deleted 500 movies that people BOUGHT, Rhea's hooked on Inspector Ellis on Acorn; Angelo's all-in on Tuner with Leo Woodall and Dustin Hoffman (no explosions, all twists), and much MUCH more!See Glen Macnbow perform "The Greatest Moments in Philadelphia Sports History" with Ray Didinger and Joe Conklin on August 6th at the Ocean City Music Pier, tickets at GreatestPhillySports.com.MAKE SURE TO VISIT OUR SPONSOR: Steven Singer Jewelers!The TV Show is a weekly podcast hosted by Jay Black, with regular guests Angelo Cataldi and Rhea Hughes.

It's genuinely touching. But it also made Jay think about Leno and Letterman (who loathed each other) and Carson freezing Joan Rivers out for life after she dared to get her own show. The whole industry is so aggressively supportive of each other now: is that warmth actually good for culture, or did we lose something real when TV rivalries died?ALL THAT PLUS: The Cannes Film Festival, Glen and Rhea bond hard over Deadloch, and Glen is wants everyone to watch Jury Duty: Company Retreat.IMPORTANT NOTE: Glen Macnow and Ray Didinger are going to be LIVE talking about patriotic sports movies on May 27th, at the Ritz Theater in Haddon Township, NJ.  If you don't get your tickets right now, you will spend the rest of your life explaining to people why you missed the greatest night of sports cinema conversation ever assembled!MAKE SURE TO VISIT OUR SPONSOR: Steven Singer Jewelers!The TV Show is a weekly podcast hosted by Jay Black, with regular guests Angelo Cataldi and Rhea Hughes.
