The new Golden Age of Television is coming up geek! Brian and Mandy look at the present and speculate on the future of the many new streaming services coming out in the next few months.

00:39 – Brian just finished NOS4A2, so we take a moment to discuss how putting Joe Hill at the helm is always a good idea. There are plans for a second season afoot, and we expect to see an adult Vic in the next one.
03:33 – AMC looks set on winning the title of horror kings. We talk about the terrifying projects in their pipeline, especially Japanese horror inspired INFAMY, which is the second season of THE TERROR. This somehow brings us to Mandy’s intriguing theory about sparkling vampires.
07:45 – Amazon Prime has struck gold again with THE BOYS. Brian’s only advice is to go in without watching the second trailer. We also discuss THE TICK and compare it with other versions that we’ve watched.
13:28 – Streaming services are at war today, so we look back at how it all started. While some companies like Amazon and HBO are creating interesting originals now, we worry that none of the big names will take the risks that Netflix took in its heyday. What will the next innovation in streaming be?
24:59 – Before we wrap up, we mourn the loss of Ye Olde YouTube where new creators had the freedom to experiment. We’ll also have an announcement soon, so keep watching this space!
