the last month including AppleTV Plus’s The Morning Show;

Netflix’s Midnight Mass & The Great British Baking Show.


News Break – Alex, Bill, and Josh discuss
Netflix’s billion dollar deal with the Roald Dahl Story Company
for the exclusive rights to the entire Roald Dahl library, which
Netflix intends to turn into an interconnected universal across
tv, film, and games.


Streaming Wars – Alex, Bill, and Josh pick a
streamer they think “won the month” based on new shows
airing/upcoming shows announced etc. This month, everyone agrees
that Netflix won the month thanks to the hit fall film festival
buzz (The Power of the Dog, The Guilty), returning TV shows (The
Great British Baking Show, Dear White People, Sex Education, The
Circle, Too Hot To Handle), new TV shows (Squid Game, Midnight
Mass), trailers (Bridgerton S2, Stranger Things S4, Cowboy
Bebop), a Britney Spears documentary, AND winning the most Emmys
in one year of all time, including best Limited Series (The
Queen’s Gambit) and Best Drama (The Crown).
