  • 607. The FULL V: The Original Miniseries Experience

    22:55||Ep. 607
    V holds up better than its 1983 laser budget has any right to: a sharp, human, uncomfortably relevant fascism allegory wrapped in lizard-people pulp. Part one soars, part two wobbles, but the whole thing still proves that nothing says “timeless sci-fi” like charismatic authoritarians, gullible collaborators, stolen water, and mice with very dramatic instincts.Subscribe, get expanded show notes, and past episodes at http://Cordkillers.comSupport Cordkillers at http://Patreon.com/CordkillersYouTube: https://youtu.be/hI03MvQtM-4

    50:25||Ep. 607
    Disney’s Bob Iger reflects on the empire-building acquisitions that reshaped the company, the deals that got away, and the principles that guided his run.

  • 606. Cordkillers 606: Apples to HBOs

    52:40||Ep. 606
    Apple TV may be chasing the prestige-TV crown that HBO once owned, but the big question is whether that model can work in streaming when even HBO muddied the waters. Meanwhile, Amazon MGM may be looking for a new home for its Sam Altman biopic, Instagram wants more time on your TV, and Netflix’s K-pop Demon Hunters keeps dominating globally.This week on The FULL Experience: V (Part I)Next week: V (Part II)Subscribe, get expanded show notes, and past episodes at http://Cordkillers.comSupport Cordkillers at http://Patreon.com/CordkillersYouTube: https://youtu.be/7EXpR53RzFM

  • 604. Cordkillers 604: Mind the Season Gap

    53:59||Ep. 604
    Long waits between streaming seasons may be helping some shows build huge return-viewing events, but they also risk training audiences to cancel between releases. Plus, Amazon backs away from Stargate, Netflix pauses Hannibal, Plex gets more social, and states may challenge a giant media merger.This week on The FULL Experience: Murder, She Wrote (718 - "Where Have You Gone, Billy Boy?")Next week: Murder, She Wrote (1224 - "Death by Demographics")Subscribe, get expanded show notes, and past episodes at http://Cordkillers.comSupport Cordkillers at http://Patreon.com/CordkillersYouTube: https://youtu.be/ICsqCbwO2YA

  • 603. Cordkillers 603: Backroom Boom

    01:01:48||Ep. 603
    Kane Parsons’ *Backrooms* and Curry Barker’s *Obsession* show how online-native horror creators are turning low-budget digital momentum into theatrical wins. Meanwhile, *The Amazing Digital Circus* is testing whether a YouTube-first hit can jump to theaters before landing back online.This week on The FULL Experience: Murder, She Wrote (118 - "Murder Takes the Bus")Next week: Murder, She Wrote (718 - "Where Have You Gone, Billy Boy?")Subscribe, get expanded show notes, and past episodes at http://Cordkillers.comSupport Cordkillers at http://Patreon.com/CordkillersYouTube: https://youtu.be/WQvTqpv8S8M
