The strikes have now gone past the hundred day mark. Economic strains are beginning to develop. It doesn't make much sense for us to talk about paid subscription streaming services when the companies that own them are not exactly in the best of financial health.


The episode isn't totally doom and gloom. There's a marked deficit of hope in this one, though.

We also discuss in the first half the misadventure of the film Crater and what that means for the media landscape. After the mid-way break we talk about the differences between subscription video on-demand, ad-supported video on-demand, free ad-supported streaming television, and virtual cable providers.
