So much is trending in pop culture news. We have questions — and answers.
But our biggest question of the week: What’s going on at Netflix? Lately, things don't look too great over at the streaming giant. Last month, the company announced it’s lost 200,000 subscribers this year, and expects to lose more. Its stock continues to drop, costing the company billions.
The prices for subscriptions have gone up, and there’s also been real talk about a crackdown on password sharing — meaning no more using ex’s account.
And just two weeks ago, Netflix layed off a number of employees — including many women of color — from their fan site Tudum, and others on their marketing team.
The streaming giant has long been ahead of the game, but is it finally falling behind the competition in the streaming wars?
We chat with two reporters who break down what all of these changes at Netflix mean for our queues and our wallets.
You’ll hear from:
Dr. Kimberly Chrisman-Campbell, award-winning fashion historian, curator, and journalist
Meredith Cash, sports reporter for Insider
Rani Molla, senior data reporter at Recode
Dawn Chmielewski, U.S. entertainment business correspondent at Reuters and co-author of "Binge Times"
