You decide: AMAZON or NETFLIX?

Well damn. Jon Voight, not beating the allegations. He’s out-demoning his deadbeat dad status as ENTERTAINMENT TARIFFS advisor. 

Are movies physically coming to you on ships via the Suez Canal? Is streaming just a series of tubes exported on FedEx planes?

We got an addendum (00:23) at the top of the episode y’all!

In Wrap Up (44:44), we discuss what else is left for us out there, man. We're tired.

Welcome to another Industry Tech Roundup! Today: Freemium, Part Deux! 

We start with, what else?, talking our favorite Rodent Men (curse you for solidifying this in the zeitgeist, NYT!).

Then, in The All Hands (00:00), we talk the FAST services that have been leaving an impact on us: Amazon Freevee, Tubi, and Pluto TV.  We then discuss the highlight and lowlights of their user experiences, emphasizing how brand identity has helped cement these names in a crowded space (00:00).

In Missed Objectives & Key Results (MOKRs), we discuss why freemium has taken over & why more & more customers are checking out this option, while the big players keep delivering miss after miss.

We wrap with a quick discussion on what’s next for the freemium game (00:00).

Keep watching that space y’all. They’re cookin’ up some big things.

Either way, we’re in.

Lots going on out there y’all - Netflix dumped its engagement data, which as per usual, was a trove of trash. The Hollywood Reporter came out with The New Hollywood list and the whiteness, once again, shook everyone. And someone in the world has the best job of all - recording Cannes standing ovation times.

But! Today, we’re here to discuss the new hot topic: Is streaming just the new name for cable? 

In The All Hands (06:01), we discuss the recent shakeups in the streaming industry and discuss the partnerships, the pricing, and the motivations. We also quickly recap the other partnerships and bundles that have existed or have gone under the radar in the media outlets. (17:39)

In Missed Objectives and Key Results (25:32), we have a thorough chat about why the streamers are doing this and what the future holds now that bundles are the new hot thing in town (33:23).

So come join as we see the demise of modern TV along with the dream of theatrical.

All hail AI, too, because why the hell not?
