Cordkillers 541: The Streaming Prophecies w/ Andy Beach

Ep. 541

Streaming expert Andy Beach breaks down four possible futures for TV: Big Tech dominance, regulatory pushback, total fragmentation, or mega-platform consolidation. Plus, Walton Goggins gets an unexpected bite on White Lotus, Keanu Reeves lends his voice to Severance, and YouTube rolls out a cheaper ad-free tier. Also, some old Warner Bros. DVDs are inexplicably rotting, and Amazon is testing AI-aided dubbing for Prime Video.


This week on The FULL Experience: The Wonder Years (622 - "Independence Day")


Next week: The Outer Limits (101 - "The Galaxy Being")
