This episode was a total roller coaster, from Brian buying two different versions to the excellent split of a full episode. There's also some abhorrent language and heavy topic matter. And then a surprise ending. Just...wow.

  • Dynamic duo

    I have to be honest, I am down for almost any Tom Merritt podcast. He is the best at what he does and so knowledgeable. This podcast is a little more entertainment focused and him and Brian are great together. They pick fun topics all about streaming and I love it. I don’t really agree with Brian most of the time on his interest when it comes to television and movies, but I love the opinions and I love the back-and-forth. Bryce add that third person tie-breaking opinion.

  • I like Brushwood and Merritt, but I cannot relate to the content. Last theater movie I watched was Battle of 5 Armies. Last TV series was Lidia's Italian Cooking.

    There is nothing on TV or the theater I am truly interested in. I've even given up on Star Trek after watching all of the TV series from Next Gen forward.

    If you like escapist entertainment, you'll like this podcast.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The FULL Star Trek: The Animated Series Experience (101 - "Beyond the Farthest Star")
Q: How Trek conversant are you to begin with?
I've seen the entire Next Generation series. I've seen pieces of everything else. I'm not averse to Trek, because I am definitely more of a Star Wars fan.
Cordkillers 577: Paywalls and Pathways
Q: Is this a toe-dipping, just a camel's nose under the tent?
It could be that. That seems like a quite likely scenario, is that Plex is on the list, but those big piraters of sports streams, they're higher on the list.
The FULL Taxi Experience: First (101 - "Like Father, Like Daughter")
Q: Did you get a chance to watch the episode of Taxi? And if so, do you have thoughts about it?
Amos expresses that the pilot episode felt more like a standard episode rather than a pilot, mentioning it introduced characters gradually without feeling forced.
Cordkillers 543: Billion-Dollar Maybe
Q: What significance does winning awards have for Apple TV+?
Winning awards like the Oscar for Coda signaled the importance of Apple TV+ as a business, reshaping their approach to budget and content development.
Cordkillers 543: Billion-Dollar Maybe
Q: What is causing Apple TV+ to lose money?
The hosts speculate that Apple's strategy is to use TV+ as a means to keep people within the Apple ecosystem, rather than focusing solely on profitability.
