The Catchup

Ep.117: Space Jam Slam, Back at the Movies, and Social Media: Unplugged


Listen Later

There's a lot to break down on this week's episode!

First, we react to the explosive new trailer for Space Jam: A New Legacy, and our feelings on the new film 25 years after the original. Is it a poor attempt to follow an iconic movie? Or a unique take with a new direction? We discuss that, and how the release of films like this could change the movie industry. With these movies being simultaneously released on streaming services, how will this impact movie theaters desperately looking to rebound post-pandemic? What's the potential financial impact on production houses and actors? And, is this a permanent change to the movie industry?

Next, imagining a world without social media. Sites like Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter are becoming increasingly more pervasive in our everyday lives. And we as society are becoming increasingly more reliant on them. We think back to a time without social media, and envision a theoretical world where the world is wiped clean of these services. How would our social interactions, independent artists and businesses have to adapt and adjust without them? Plus, is there a happy a middle ground? How to find balance with real life and social media to optimize your relationships.

Then, Facebook's scraping incident. It's not a hack, but your information was stolen. And Facebook has no intention of telling you about it. Here's the caveat... it could be your fault. What was stolen, why you could be to blame, and why it could definitely happen again. It's an all-new Catchup! Let's get into it!
