Cordkillers 593: Exposition Impossible

About this episode

The episode discusses Netflix's response to criticisms about its scriptwriting and covers various updates in the entertainment industry.

Netflix insists it is not turning scripts into dialogue-heavy plot recaps, even as its executives try to laugh off a criticism that keeps sounding familiar. Meanwhile, trailers, renewals, cancellations, box office wins, and streaming platform maneuvers keep the release calendar very busy.
