Dan and Kenton talk about the dying movie theatre industry. No one wants to see movies in the theatre anymore, and the Nerds think theatres did it to themselves by creating such an awful moviegoing experience.

Dan pitches Kenton on a new radio app idea: taking a local radio brand and turning it into a Spotify-esque streaming service, giving listeners complete choice over their music. It's like a local version of Spotify for the specific music genre you love!
