Cordkillers 594: Streamflation Frustration

About this episode

The episode discusses the recent price increase of Netflix and various developments in the streaming industry.

Netflix got more expensive again, while the rest of the streaming world kept busy with new trailers, sports-rights maneuvering, global launches, and yet another attempt to turn every screen into a TV. Also: Andy Weir backpedals on Star Trek, HBO Max spreads wider, and Roku would like three dollars, please.
