The Polygon Show

Hello Polygon listeners! We've got a special bonus episode for you. This month at SXSW, our Entertainment Editor Matt Patches spoke with some of our favorite people about how film, TV and video games are merging.  

In 2019, film, television, and games can all be streamed. The format, accessibility, and low-cost of streaming services is changing how all three formats are made and consumed, while gradually blurring the lines between them. Join Polygon's Matt Patches for an in depth conversation with Amy Hennig, Adi Shankar, and Kiki Wolfkill, as they discuss how video games and film are influencing each other.

Please enjoy, and we'll be back with a new Polygon Show episode on Friday.
