This is the fourth and final episode of my podcast miniseries. The last episode looks at how Netflix forever changed the way we consume video content.For being here on Patreon, you get first shot at it before it gets released tomorrow.There's a lot of interesting info in this episode, and here are just a few of the things we cover:
- The fake origin story of Netflix
- How Netflix was almost a part of Blockbuster Video
- Using the Amazon model to launch their business
- Why Napster may have lead to us being able to stream movies and TV shows
- How the "binge-watching" style of consuming content was created because of 1980s music albums
- Are streaming services moving away from binge-watching?
- What does the future of movies look like since we can watch everything at home?
Hope you enjoy this. Here's a sneak peek for the next few episodes: they'll be about summer movies...-Jamie
