Streaming Hits a Rough Patch - In the Tank ep 378
The Heartland Institute's Donald Kendal, Jim Lakely, and Chris Talgo — with SPECIAL GUEST Christian Toto — present episode 377 of the In The Tank Podcast. In what is becoming an annual tradition, the In the Tank crew end the year talking about the state of pop culture with veteran movie reviewer and culture writer Christian Toto, proprietor of the HollywoodInToto.com website.
We’ll discuss what is looking like a rough patch (and maybe much worse) for the big streaming services (Netflix, Amazon Prime, Disney+, etc.), what that means for the future of Hollywood, and if the “get woke, go broke” maxim is holding or getting even worse. We’ll also discuss the state of the modern Hollywood blockbuster (with Avatar 2, which Donny just saw, being a test case), and Christian will tell us the best movies and streaming shows he saw this year and recommends to our audience.
