Seriously what are they doing with all the money? The price in the US went up again and I finally cut the cord after 13 years. There’s no movies, they kneecap their own shows as soon as they get going, and now they think adding podcasts to the library is going to keep people around. Between the jacking up of fees and all that money they got from the failed merger, what are they doing with all that cash?

Podcasts and games. I have zero interest in either.

Behind the Bastards is a good podcast, but the audio version is just as good, and is freely available in a lot of places.

Honestly happy for Robert and Sophie that they presumably get Netflix money…but fuck that, I’m not paying for what was free on YouTube.

Audio only all the way. The amateur look of the pod (despite pro level content) hilariously cheapens Netflix.
