From their love to solve the logistical puzzles they represent to their favorite rides and even what their perfect day at Disneyland looks like (check episode 8 for that one). Throughout those conversations, something they've never done is explore in-depth the role they represent within Disney's business, especially as they relate to market competition. It was long overdue, and they finally did it this week. As part of their conversations, Carl and Eitan use last week's D23 conference as a springboard to chat about...2022-09-1954 minStuck In DevelopmentStuck In Development93 - Catching Eitan UpAfter two weeks away, Eitan needs to be caught up on everything that happened in the world of entertainment!

If they do, is it ever strongly? This episode answers this question. Multiple times.  In this week's episode, the boys spend most of their time checking in. From its updated UX, to the news about a potential comeback into Amazon Prime Channels, this top-tier streamer leads Eitan and Carl into uncharted waters: strong disagreements.

In their professional circles, they’ve been the town loons proffering doomsday prophecies about Netflix’s business model. Unfortunately, the boys were right. Now that almost every Hollywood studio has reorganized around streaming and pumped billions of dollars into fleeting and brand-diluting original content, Netflix has revealed projections showing staggering future subscriber losses.

As proud skeptics of the democratizing power of Web3, the two discuss Jack Dorsey’s freshly-minted Block family of companies. No winter 2021 SID episode would be complete without a box office analysis, and the two are dismayed to discover just how much of the 2021 box office was dominated by the Disney family.

The two use Emma Stone’s Cruella sequel deal to dive into the previously under-discussed role of talent agencies in the streaming future. There’s a surprisingly straight line between this deal and Trey Parker and Matt Stone’s near-billion-dollar South Park check for 6 new seasons and 14 (!!) streaming movies. Apple’s CSAM debacle rounds out this diverse set of topics, and Carl and Eitan contrast this PR disaster with Disney’s Black Widow lawsuit.
