Stuck In Development episodes

  • 116 - M to the AX

    Carl & Eitan keep saying this, but... theaters are back! You know theaters are back when projects like The Super Mario Bros. Movie, Air, and How to Blow Up a Pipeline are filling seats at cinemas. Streaming, on the other hand, isn't the hot market it (somehow) once was. In this week's main topic, the boys dive into the hopes Warner Bros. Discovery is pinning on their ""Max"" rebrand.

    At the end of the episode, the two finally do a properly-quarantined spoiler segment to chat about the bombshell 3rd episode of Succession's final season.

    There are the three numbers that drive today's episode. One is an acquisition, one represents a future investment, and the third one is a yearly goal.

  • 113 - Prepping for Disney and Struggling with Apps
    This week's episode is a combination of dreams becoming a reality, and apps being dumb. Not very related, but Carl and Eitan do their best.
    First, they talk about how Eitan's childhood hope/joke that his bachelor party would be a weekend in Disney World with his friends is becoming a reality. As part of this, he shares all that goes into planning something like this, including getting all the friends to understand all the intricacies Carl and Eitan love.
    After that, they go through a couple of stories of struggles they've had trying to do the "right thing" while using the subscription services of AMC and Alamo Drafthouse, and failing dramatically.
    It's a weird one, but a good one!

  • 112 - The SID Pre-Oscars Party and Snub Draft (ft Kevin Sachs)

    Pre-Oscar episodes are one of SID's yearly traditions. This year also marked a milestone with the first episode without one of the boys, as Carl is moving to Austin! If they were ever going to miss an episode, it had to be for a great reason. This is as positive as it gets!

    Filling in for Carl, but also filling in his newly appointed role as 'contemporary Holywood historian', is friend of the pod Kevin. In this episode, Eitan and Kevin go through some predictions, check-in on the historical run of EEAAO, share some potential surprises, and take part in Stuck in Development's first ever Oscar Snub Draft (which Carl will decide the winner of next week).

    Before they dive into these topics, Ariela joins the podcast to share her experience in a special early screening of Cocaine Bear.

    This is a long one but a good one!

  • 110 - The One Where Price Discrimination Goes Wrong

    Price Discrimination is expanding into new frontiers!!

    From AMC's seat-based pricing, Netflix'ss push to block password sharing, Twitter Blue, and the newly announced Meta Verified (announced a couple of days after we recorded), the media and entertainment business is taking another round at using the good ol' concept to organize customer offerings based on willingness to pay. In this episode, Eitan and Carl break down AMC and Netflix's latest attempts.

    Before that, Eitan joins the Babylon Hive. Will Carl try to pull him? Would he encourage it? Listen to find out!
